i am, indeed, alive...

i haven't posted much lately because, well, i haven't had anything to say! today i'm moody. moody because my best friend goes back to school for another 6 months. moody because my mom (my other best friend) won't be back in town for another 13 days. moody because it's hot and uncomfortable all the time.

the weather has been unbelievable here. sunday morning, it was 70 degrees by 9am, and by 5pm, it was over 90. yesterday was worse. the house is toasty. the cats are roasty. and i'm just miserable. i don't do heat well. (especially when i'm moody!)

but my cherry tree is loaded with gorgeously ripe fruit - or should i say *was* loaded - last night, matt picked everything his 6'4" self could reach on a 6' ladder with a 3'+ extension in the form of a car-jack lever. one giant mixing-bowl full of cherries, and more left on the tree that should ripen up in a couple of days. i love that.

we've been escaping the heat with evening jaunts to a little local lake with a single small public-access entrance. rather crowded, given it's size, but we don't spend much time on the shore. wish i had the guts to take my camera - but even if i did, i don't know what i'd take pictures of anyway! guess i'll have to find another way to photograph this choice pastime.

on the scrapbooking front, i'm working my tail off on some stuff that i hope will be a part of my MMM entry, but i'm still facing the assignment layout - and that one is kinda intimidating me. :)

toodles!
