Super Moon, not...
Tried taking photos of the "super moon" last nite and the nite before. I used two different digital cameras. The pix came out OK but I don't think it was a very "super" moon. It was kinda like the difference between a regular egg and a jumbo egg...with a bit more of the white stuff. Definitely not something to tick off my "bucket list".
Got up this morning at 6:05 AM to walk the dog (she "insisted" with her cold nose and barely audible but very annoying whine). The dew that had collected on the azalea leaves was shining in the early light. There was a soft breeze. As we rapidly walked around the neighborhood, and my skin began to glisten with perspiration (southern women do not sweat), I felt the cooling breeze flow across my legs and arms. The moderate morning temperature with a gentle wind is a good reason to get up early to exercise or walk the dog.
We saw a turtle, bunny, blue jay, cardinal, thousands of dead and dying worms, and a couple of baby snakes. Of course the dog had to investigate every one of them and I tried to prevent her from having a breakfast of worms by dragging her into the middle of the road. Then I had to drag her up onto a lawn or driveway to avoid the early commuters. Thankfully I'm not the only one up at this hour. When the dog indicated that she had to poop I stopped and made sure no one was looking. Some people can be hostile about a little dog poop. They have gone so far as to put up intimidating signs and sit on their front porches as a deterrent. Seems like a lot of bother. I don't mind if people let their dogs relieve themselves on my lawn, in fact I encourage it. The rain will eventually wash it away. It's natural.
So I finished the dog walk, had breakfast, checked e-mail, scanned my favorite blogs, had a cup of coffee, had another cup of coffee, dusted, watered the indoor plants, and planned the rest of my day. I decided that I will do very little in this heat. Tomorrow, I'll break up the day with a visit to my Internist (that's a doctor that tells you you need to lose weight and to keep taking your statin drugs which can cause weight gain).
That's it. Another day in the "SUNNY" south.
