Summer winding down

The pool officially closes on Labor Day. But since most kids start school this week, it has limited hours.
 

What a difference from the crowds in June and July!  This last week has also been quite cool, with mid-70s F in the day and into the 50s at night. I keep the living room windows open, but the bedroom window is just cracked a bit so I don't have to get the winter blanket out yet. I'm already under a sheet , a blanket and a bedspread (a light-weight quilt).

This is the nebulizer, which lets me breath saline solution, and I pretend I'm on a beach breathing the salty air there. It helps my cough be productive.  Then I also inhale Albuterol, which helps my lungs somehow.  And if I'm a very good girl, I'll sit and vibrate with the vest for 15 min. All in all, I have to set aside about 20 min. for each procedure, with the set-up and then washing the nebulizing equipment.

From last week's DNC...a bit on climate change, thank you very much, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland!

Lenten Roses and how the pyramids were built!

 

Helen has lots of Lenten Roses in her yard, but my photos were somehow damaged transferring them...which is why I'm looking for a new computer.

When we get half way around the lake, there's a convenient bench with a great view, and these ducks also stopped for a rest. They are so funny, even when it's not very hot, they choose to get into the shade to rest.

A couple of geese were happily munching on little seeds, probably grass seeds, spread about next to the water and the path.

And new science is talking about how the pyramids of Egypt were built..video HERE.

No slaves. Teams of expert craftsmen. From Open Culture's article HERE.
