My world of Wonders aka The Wednesday Ws Last of June 2025

Where have I been this week? Out to lunch at Founding Farmers new Arlington, Virginia location,  the Springfield Mall for a long walk inside, the gym, the pools - indoor and outdoor, the farmers market, a long walk in north old town, Trader Joe's, the pharmacy, the Library, Potomac Yard for a shopping walk, into The City for lunch and a walk. 

How is the Weather? HOT, HOT, HOT, highs in the 90's hovering around 100 (f).  That has influenced walks being indoors to avoid the heat. 

Who have I seen this week? Larry, Jim, Ruth, Warren, Renee, a bunch of neighbors, Erica - my replacement.

What have I been up to in the kitchen? I poached a whole chicken, made stock, chicken pies, chicken salad, gazpacho, hard boiled quails eggs, meatloaf, veggies, white turnips and tiny carrots.  

What have I enjoyed reading? "Building" written by Mark Ellison, a master carpenter who has spent 40 years doing high end remodeling in New York. It is brilliantly written, by a craftsman who would protest that he is not a scholar. 

When is my next adventure? Toronto in early August for just a couple of nights. 




Wondering? Are these colorful enough for a show with a theme of splash of color? 

What has me dismayed? Bombing Iran. 

What was heard at the pool? Two late middle aged women discussing men and marriage, "I don't need a man, I need more batteries!"

    Toronto is nice enough. Lol at the woman mentioning batteries.

      We were flying to Darwin and two old women were sitting in front of us. They were talking loudly and one said something like, "Have you got the condoms, Mabel?". There was much hilarity, though suppressed to quiet sniggering.

    That final statement: I’m laughing my ass off. The spools of thread images are stunning. So many are talking about the heat. Glad you have access to great indoor spaces.

      I will keep floating around the pool and observing the aging wildlife.

    We are set to hit a "Feels Like" Temperature of 110 today. Ugh.
    You know, I once had a bad birthday and my first thought was to bomb Iran .... but I didn't .

    There's certainly a splash of colour in each of those three photos, yes.

    I like those photos of the spools of thread. I always wonder who decides the names of each color for those spools...
    Stay cool!

    LOVE the piano pic! The composition is astounding. Yes, certainly colorful enough. How did you get that last photo without falling into the ocean? (PS: I'm very glad you didn't.)
