Its 8:00 am and James just came and said, "How about we have a clam bake tomorrow night?"
After I shook off the shock of my four year old even knowing what a clam bake is I explained there weren't a lot of fresh clams here in mid-Alabama, much less a beach to bake them on. He seemed okay with that explanation and headed on his way. Now I want to go to the beach and have seafood.
But, we won't be doing that today. School calls here. Mark has given me some projects he wants to the kids to work on today so they will be busy with that after school. And then Scouts tonight. I will be working on more pears and making a big grocery and to-do list for the next two weeks. I feel all flustered because I haven't sat down and made out a good list in quite a while.
Although it is still hot here, the air is changing. This weekend was wonderful. Mark and the two big boys went camping with the Scouts and so Abbie, James, and I had a very laid-back weekend at home. The humidity was down and there was a touch of crispness in the air. I know we will still have many more hot days here (it is usually hot on Halloween here), but it was so nice this weekend. I spent some of the weekend having hammock time. I have decided hammock time is very necessary for happy mommies. I think I will add it to my Motherhood 101 series.
Is the weather changing at your house?

Nope, the weather doesn't seem to have changed much. Though it was fairly pleasant in the garden this morning. But I somehow still feel like I'm perspiring around my face this morning. Unless that is from the steam from mashing and stirring those muscadines on my cooktop. Yup, that's probably it. It is getting a wee bit cooler. Time to gather up more firewood, I think.
ReplyDeleteThe humidity was much lower here in South Georgia over the weekend. We had temps around 100 degrees, but w/o the humidity, it was great! :)
ReplyDeletewe're still very very hot here, we had an extremely mild july so now we're paying for it. but for the first time i'm thankful for the humidity we're having because it's protecting our new grass in the backyard from the scorching sun :)
ReplyDeleteWell, last week we had an earthquake, hurricane and tornado, so I'd say our weather is changing. Today it is nice and crisp outside, but I'm sure it won't last.
ReplyDeleteMollie, remind me NOT to move close to you :)!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe weather today was BEAUTIFUL....and, yes, it makes a mama happy:) So hope the humidity breaks in the south and rain comes to Texas - goodness! So, have you guys ever even had a clam bake???
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that it's hot as fire today. Clam bake???
ReplyDeleteJennifer, no we have never have a clam bake, we have never even cooked anything on the beach! I guess he got it off tv or something.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny we'd both write about the heat today. Although not really considering how HOT it is. :) I long for a lazy weekend. I am so glad you got to have one. Lisa~
