I hope all of my US friends had a lovely 4th of July holiday yesterday, and those of you outside the US had a lovely day all around. We started the day out in the garden, loving the lilies which are in full bloom right now, and talking about this and that. Then the rain came and chased us indoors. It came down swiftly and heavily, reminding DH that he hadn't cleaned the rain gutters yet this year. I think that's on his agenda for tomorrow now - LOL.

Not my gutters, but very much like what we were seeing yesterday afternoon. Eventually the rain went away, the mosquitoes came out, and we settled down to an afternoon watching movies on TV. |
Although we attempted to return to the outdoors when the rain had stopped, the mosquitoes were on a hunt for 4th of July food, and we were apparently on the menu. Our time outside came to a rather rapid stop and we returned indoors.

Once again, the new crockpot was called into use. It performed beautifully, and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. I'm liking my new piece of equipment. |
The dinner agenda was ribs, so once again I pulled out the new crockpot and had two different wells - one for his ribs with his BBQ sauce, and one for my ribs with my homemade BBQ sauce. They turned out wonderfully. I think I'm keeping this new crockpot - it's a winner.

We have a little bit of up and down in today's stage, it's not a pure sprinters stage as yesterday was. Today should be interesting, though. Lots of psychological back and forth with a profile like today's. |
I did watch Le Tour yesterday, of course. I was hoping Mark Cavendish could achieve the win, since it was a sprint stage, but he didn't have a good lead-in, and only came in 6th. Not too shabby at all, but I'm also sure it's not what he wanted. Still, there's a lot of racing still to do. Today is Day 6 of Le Tour, and it's again a rather flat stage, then we'll be in mountains for the weekend before everyone collapses for the first Rest Day of this year's Tour. It's been an excellent race thus far, and I hope, if you're a fan of bicycle racing, that you've had a chance to catch a day or two.

I start the day out with a 7:15 am eye doctor appointment. I'm hopeful that my eyes will cooperate enough to get a prescription this time. I'd love to get a couple of sets of my favorite eyeglass frames re-lensed. |
I'm starting my day with a 7:30 am appointment at my eye doctor's clinic. I have hopes that my eyes will have stabilized enough to get an actual prescription prescribed. I'd really like to be wearing eyeglasses that help my eyes, rather than ones that are only helping with certain aspects of my vision. I'm quite happy with my distance vision, but my close-up vision sucks, so it's making my beading project a bit challenging. However, everything good is worth the struggle, and this is no exception. It's going to be glorious. I hope to get some more beadwork done this afternoon.
On that note, I'm out of here. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow - a swimming day. Huzzah! LOL Slava Ukraini.
