Good morning!
I headed out for a walk after breakfast. The only one crazy enough to be out there.
Hazy skies meant that the heat was not so overbearing. Of course, the last few blocks home were the worst. No trees, no shade and 106 degrees (it's 113 out there now).
This row of corn used to be so tall and green but has burnt to a crisp in the heat.
I was on the hunt for rocks again and came home with three. The great thing is they don't have to be absolutely smooth or perfect since yarn can be manipulated to fit nicely no matter the shape or size.
Back home, after a quick shower, a healthy snack is necessary. Fresh cherries, raw almonds, dried fruit, organic tea or orange juice.
A great way to start the day.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Oh, sweetie, I just don't know how you are doing this. Thanks for the story about your A.C., great reminder just how sweet we do have it here in the Chicago-land burbs. I'm going to have to start having lite breakfasts like you all soon.
ReplyDeleteTammy, that's what I'll be doing this morning but walking indoors on my treadmill! Your healthy snack looks really yummy.
ReplyDeleteROCKS! I have rocks.....you can have as many as you want!!!! Our town sits on an old river bed so there are TONS of smooth ones, too! Come on over and take some!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever had Tamari Almonds? I get them at the natural food store here and my husband LOVES them. They have a nice little 'kick' to them and aren't as hard as regular ones.
I just came in from watering....another hot one here (for us) today. Now all the plants are smiling because they got a nice bath!
You go girl.....walking in that heat! I'd be a puddle!

Happy First Day of Summer! Hooray. You are such a good girl for taking your walks and eating healthy. You inspire me and I am grateful. Happy crocheting over the non-smooth rocks.
ReplyDeleteEven the photo's look hot. Nice rocks you found.

You're such a healthy eater! :) We're not quite like that an no one eats breakfast here at our house except on rare occasion.
ReplyDeleteGood for you on going walking! I'm hoping to hit our bikes tonight but only after an afternoon floating in our pool. Perfect day for it.
Have a nice evening,
Linda :)
Good for you, Tammy. Your walking is admirable. It's in the 90s here and hotter than a wet oven. So am I walking? Nooooo. I'm typing into my computer with the fan aimed directly at me. Hope you have a wonderful day. Susan
ReplyDeletealmonds are soooo yummy! I wish I could send you a box'o'rocks....but could you imagine the cost? And at inspection they'd be like..."what?"
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy! I want to ask you, you can actually walk with 106F??? Cause if you can you're a hero!
ReplyDeleteYour snack looks yammy! I prefer flakes for breakfast,
Have a nice day,
Angeliki
Tammy
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see you enjoying life in any weather. Have a wonderful week my friend
xoxo

You are wise to get outside and take an early morning walk as exercise. When I lived in a hot area my hubby and I would walk late in the evening, at 9 or 10 o'clock. Stay cool.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you are not out here, in my garden, in Texas? LOL The same heat and conditions are here! Stay cool and realax!
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite things to do is go hunting for rocks .... the yellowish one looks just like a dinner roll :)
ReplyDeleteyou have a very healthy breakfast - mine was cornflakes with a banana - not that bad I guess :)
Oh you brave girl, I'm complaining about 98 degrees and you've got 113 and walking in 106! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think your a little crazy (in the nicest way of course) walking around in that heat.
ReplyDeletelovely healthy snacks to come home to tho :)
Mmmmm...what is that yummy looking yogurt or porridge with the nuts? Whatever it is I want some!
ReplyDeleteGood heavens, you must be made of strong stuff. Walking in 106 degrees and voluntarily at that! It's just 64 degrees here at the minute. I think somewhere in between my temperature and yours would be a nice happy medium, don't you?
ReplyDeleteYou must be drinking gallons of water walking in 106 temps.....so hot
ReplyDeletetoday it is in the 90's and sooooo humid.......I like looking for rocks too.....I kids used to paint them and make animals and a village of little houses....have a cool day....rizzi
Wow, that is hot. I mean, really hot. Please take care out there and drinks lots of water.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! :)
Blessings always
great breakfast!so nice to hear that you stick to your daily walk programm no matter what!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteA lovely start to your day - always the best time to go out walking before the sun gets too hot.
Hope you manage to stay cool and enjoy the rest of the week
Hugs

Thank you so much for visiting my blog from your desert country far, far away. I live in the desert mountains of California, at around 4,100 feet, so it gets cool at night in the summer and snows in the winter. Summer days are around 90-100, but nearly always windy, which helps. It's been 110 here, but not often. I don't see how you can walk in that heat and hope you drink plenty of water. I think your blog is very interesting, it looks like you've been just about everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOh, my that is so hot! You snack look so good! Wishing you a great, and hopefully cooler week! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteYou seem so disciplined about your food - good for you! (I am a real slacker when it comes to healthy snacks.)
ReplyDeleteThat yoghurt-y honey photo at the top does look interesting.
The cherries and almonds look so delicious to me! I purchased cherries at the market earlier this week. Hope you have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!! Keep on keeping on! Cherries and almonds are two of my favorite snacks, too. ;) The white rock reminds me of a yeast roll!! Can't wait to see him dressed up with crochet. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteOh my it is the other extreme here in single digits C most morning and today rain, rain and very dull all day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the walking and the fossicking.
Oh Tammy, you are a hardworking walker! And what do you wear while walking through the street-sauna? Yesterday I thought, it's like a Sauna in Vienna, too - but may be you laugh at me: Indoors (in the office where I work) we had 30,7 degrees Celsius, and my colleagues and I felt like half-dead meat-flies ;o) I was so happy when the thunderstorm came in the evening!!! Your idea to collect stones and to crochet a "dress" for them is so lovely!

How did I get so far behind on reading blogs? You are amazing...walking in that heat! How far do you walk? That snack/breakfast looks good. I'm always looking for healthy snacks to eat and that looks like a great combo! Stay cool!
