Happy Summer!!!! I was awake at 6 but dozed until DS got up at 7:30. Not quite sleeping in but I would have been up at 5:15 if it were a work day.

Two dogs went back to sleep and the other wandered reminding me his toe nails need clipping

So I got up, grabbed a cup of coffee and my netbook and sat on the deck swing in my bathrobe reading emails. It is cool, dry and sunny. I did have that guilty pang that I should be working in the garden or cleaning out the ducks' condo to move them out of the barn to make more room for the pullets and possible ducklings. But I fought it off and enjoyed the fresh air. Not even any mosquitoes!
I'm coughing less but it seems to get worse after I've been moving around a bit. I've been through this before. I get over the whateveritis but then everything in my chest is hyper sensitive and every little particle of dust, pollen, etc. sets off a coughing fit. Could go on for weeks. I've decided I'll give it today and if I have another bad afternoon I will start with the naturopath to see what she suggests. I kind of know the MD will give me an inhaler to calm things down. My energy level seems better already today. That could be a reduction in the stress level?
I had Miss Mary bunny out for a romp around the living room last night. She had a blast checking everything out and didn't nibble on a thing. Not that I'm going to leave her unsupervised. Nemo the cat came to visit and she was curious. She approached him and he ran off! Of course she's bigger than Martha so he didn't quite know what to make of her. He was afraid of our big Californian Ringo too. I can see that Mary's fur is already growing. very cool!
Well, time for a shower, some laundry and maybe making a batch of sorghum waffles for the freezer for DS's breakfast. There's lots of cleaning and organizing and purging to do around here. It's hard not to want it all done NOW so I can enjoy the rest of the summer but I will resist the urge to over do it.....
