August Dog Days of Summer Open Thread

Ah, after the festivities with summer we continue our summer!

Olaf doesn't realize he's being separated, not impaled

this time!

So hot even a bear will go to every length to stay cool

and refreshed. He can have the horse trough or any pool.

As summer is in full swing, something in the back of our minds

knows the days grow shorter after Midsummer's Day.

One more road trip coming up, see the sights and places on your list.

Grab a coffee or more on the way. A caffienated driver is better

than a sleepy one.

If you have no place to go, have unlimited cheer and coffee or tea with

us! This is the place, the same site always open 24/7. What happens here

stays here!

As a creative person would say,

Bring your journal or sketchpad. Draw that first flower,

or write about it. Is it lonely, or with many other flowers?

Is it in the forest or in a meadow?

My story is nearing the finish. Finally at the Epilogue, or the final thought, speech of my main character. His task was complete, but there is another to move on to the next trilogy. I have the 4th book outlined so far.

Research is essential, or readers will pick up on that.

Wizard of Oz...nostalgic and takes us away

No matter where you go....

Keep on with your projects, stay busy and focused

no matter what. Be calm in the storm, be focused

and live, live well in health and wellness and spirit!

Makes 6-8 servings.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. kosher salt

Pinch of salt

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook for 8 minutes until the pasta is al dente (i.e., not too soft). Drain.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the tofu (if you’re adding it to the dish) and the soy sauce and cook for another minute.
