Night and Day.

THE world can change without warning from night to day, gloom to purpose, strength to weakness. Or ... the other way around.
I've been thinking about my strengths and weaknesses a lot lately, wondering how well I know myself and what has led me to my becoming who I am. Deep thoughts and not all self-knowledge is welcome. Admitting faults can sometimes be no fun.
However, without examining the life - as someone once said - it can not be worth living. (I can't imagine that, but I'm told it's so.)
Well, without going into much more boring talk about "life" and the living of it, I guess I will just wish us all well in its doing and, I say, let's get on with it! - femminismo
p.s. Enjoy the depths of this clematis. Click on it and contemplate the world in a flower.

Hot, Hot Weekend in Oregon.

YES, it's finally been warm again. Another two days in the 90s or high 80s, anyway. But enough about the weather. Let me tell you what I've been doing, which is why this blog is here.
I'll catch you up on breakfast, Friday, which was a summer meal so gorgeous I had to take a picture. I seem to photograph my food on a regular basis. That might be good for a food or diet blog ... . I will try and resist the urge if it hits again. Promise.
Saturday the Mister worked on a small trailer to haul things around. Hot work, but he was able to stay in the shade most of the day. He's putting sides on the trailer.
Meanwhile, I finally took a look at the curtains in our small travel trailer, which spent much of its youth in New Mexico. In its middle age, it sat at a home near ours until - finally - someone put a "for sale" sign in its window. The Mister drove by and saw an opportunity and so we are now reaping the trailer's senior years. Well, it needed new curtains ... among other things.
This is the before shot - curtains over the small sink. They have truly seen better days, haven't they?
I found some material I had bought a couple (or maybe five) years ago. Imagine that! A pack rat like me having such a large piece of this material that I could make curtains and still have enough left for napkins or a tablecloth.
Well, here are the new curtains, already blowing in the breeze over the trailer sink. Adorable, with flowers, dragonflies, tulips, etc. Lots of "nature," which we love.
The clematis and daisies below have arranged a nice marriage, haven't they? I like this photo. The hot sun didn't discourage them a bit today.
I worked on my Window Lady today. I don't have a photo, but will soon.
No camping this weekend, but I can't say we rested either. Have a good Monday - femminismo
