This has become my absolute favorite view in the past few weeks.
Have become addicted to the contrast of icy water and hot summer sun.
After enduring being shut in a conference room for a tedious all-day orientation, I rewarded myself by a visit to the Blanton Art Gallery. It was everything I had hoped the AMoMA would be. While wandering around the modern art gallery, I could hear the distinct sound of coinage....and to my delight, I found a ROOM full of pennies. (No. I did not take any.)
Mainly because I had already found riches on the sidewalk earlier in the week. Helpful note in Texas? Do not pick up mental on the sidewalk during the summer! I could have scooped up more, but my finger's were burned.
The seed pods I stored on my deck burst open in the heat. Also bursting open were the Advil tablets I had in my car. Free life lesson: it is NOT a brilliant idea to pour a bit of water in the bottle and swish it around to do an aspirin shot. Think I can still taste the acidic brew.
The Springs seem fab because you can actually swim the length of them. We're looking for lap-sized pools in our house search, and people really like puddles with waterfalls. FAIL!
ReplyDeleteI dunno - I might have packed some tweezers and cashed in on all of that change. But, that's just me - a little money-grubbing. Meanwhile, I know you were tempted by the penny room!!
Your Advil cocktail sounds like it just needed lemon juice and sugar - a bit of bitters, and voila!
