My Mind Turns Toward. . .

. . .1) staying cool.  It's only June;  I realize it's going to get worse.  Still, it's uncomfortable for me, bad for my heat headaches, and unhappy-making for Tap, as our walks are infrequent and abbreviated.

On one of our walk routes is this mimosa tree:

There was a mimosa at the foot of our driveway when I was growing up --- it was my friends' and my favorite and best climbing tree.  Seeing one always makes me happy.

. . .2) KH and KC prizes.  I keep a box in the dining room, and as I find things that will make a good prize, I toss them in.  The box is filling up.  

. . .3) revisiting the possible renaming of KH ("Knitters' Hunk," for those of you who might not know) and KC ("Knitters' Chick.")  "Knitting Companion" keeps coming to mind but makes me think of "Motorman's Helper,"  therefore becoming an instant non-starter.

. . .4) the fact that this is as close as I'm ever going to come to having a garden (and a green thumb): flower seeds in porch planters.
