Another Saturday in August

More flowers were picked.

That's Charlie the Borrowed Cat's dish for when he comes to visit, but with his fur coat, it is apparently too hot for much visiting. 

I just spent about 45 minutes on the patio, under the shade umbrella, but then by 3:00 it was getting too hot for me, 89 degrees.

This morning we went to our friend Jan's Yard Sale, and relieved her of a couple of things she's trying to unload. Then we went again to the Farmer's Market at the Des Moines (Washington) Marina. 

The sky was blue, the breeze off the Sound was keeping it cool, and we bought a couple of ears of corn, some small cucumbers, and more baked goods.

Then we settled in at the Quarterdack for coffee and one of our baked goods treats. 

Parking was full, which caused us to park farther down the marina. That gave us reason to stroll along the dock and enjoy the sun and the sea and the scene. 

Since getting home we have done a few little chores, Tom checked pots for water, and I checked in on the Seahawks preseason game while having lunch. With no starting team players playing, it was dull and I turned it off. I'll try some baseball this evening.

Now I'm going to settle into my chair and get back to my book. 

As someone commented on a recent post, taking it easy is what August days are for.
