Preparation Day

As the day draws to a close and we open the house up to cooler temperatures, I see this patch of gold behind a holm oak on the hill opposite - today it gets to feature on Blip.

Preparation day today. I have discovered that if you really want a Sabbath (a day to just stop), you have to prepare for it (as Jewish folk have long known). So I've been washing and cleaning and tidying, and watering and re-attaching a button that had fallen off, and using up leftovers, and other neglected jobs that won't now tempt me tomorrow.

No kayaking, needed a break from the sun.

Gratefuls:
- everyone safely home from our church Camp (in UK)
- making cornbread for the first time in years, after watching this wonderful Appalachian woman, and it was delicious (I made it in my cast iron pan, wasn't going to light the oven); we had it with lamb curry
- sunset on Lula walk
