Tau Foo Fah

I can't remember if I have ever mentioned making yogurt with the Instant Pot, but it is pretty much about a weekly or so affair around here.

I never realised how much the end product looked like Tau Foo Fah, a soy pudding dish that I used to eat in Malaysia. If I were to go back to Malaysia now and start eating all the different food I have missed over the years, I think I would just collapse from sensory overload.

A Streaky Morning Sky

 Just one of those mornings when the many planes that fly over us leave some pretty traces behind.

Wherefore art thou, O' Neowise?

Here's me, getting up way too early for my liking, to see if I could catch a glimpse of good ol' C/2020 F3.

No such luck, this morning. Perhaps in the next few evenings, aye?

More on the Scorching Weather

Please disregard the 92 degrees displayed as "Indoor Temperature".  

This little receiver doohickey is placed pretty close to where the laptop exhaust fan exits all the hot air.

But DO regard the 107 degrees that Abilene has bestowed upon us. 

And how Accuweather very optimistically states that tomorrow will be 2 whole degrees COLDER than today's high of 108 F.

Battling the Morning Sun

It is starting to get so warm much earlier, as we get on into Summer.  Subsequently, I have taken to bringing along my trusty umbrella ( Do you pronounce it as UM-brella or Um-BRE-lla? ) along on our walks.  

Not so much for dainty fairness of complexion, but so that the sun doesn't burn my face off! And I can actually open up my very sun-sensitive eyes to see where I am going!  

The boys are going to have to start wearing different hats, that's for sure.

Contrails in the Morning Make Me Happy

So Jaxon and I sit and watch the sky for a few minutes every morning while we wait for the hubs, before we go for our morning walk. Well, actually to be honest, I watch the skies while the little boy fiddles about with my phone...

There are several airplanes that make their way across our property around the 9:30 (-ish) am hour, and it is kinda soothing - things that can be counted on, things that are dependably "regular" and "scheduled". Just puts some Zen in your life somehow, you know? 

Even if they be just Daily Contrails In The Sky.

Okay, Summer.

 Your awesome power is acknowledged. Now please leave me alone.

Happy 4th of July

We didn't go off to watch the fireworks at the the Freedom Festival Grounds, but we did set up our camping chairs and watched it from OUR grounds, several miles away.



It was best viewed with The Family Binoculars, which we had to keep handing to one another, but we still had ..... a blast.

Don't you just hate it when . . .
