Menu Plan: August 2 - 8
It is now August, and we are still stuck mostly at home. There is no fair for the kids, which is a huge disappointment. Ballet is supposed to begin this week, but we just don't know how the girls are supposed to dance and sweat and work out with masks on their faces. It is not reasonable, but we don't want the studio to go out of business and we don't want our girls to miss out. We're feeling a little discouraged.
However, Rich's brutal schedule has ended, so at least we get to sleep more at night, and we are coming out of the over 100˚ temperatures. Fall will arrive in about three weeks. We are hoping our garden will produce more in that time. We were a bit late, and the weather was a bit late, and we had late freezes and strong winds working against us, but the garden still looks really good. It's just a matter of whether or not the produce will ripen before it starts to freeze at night.
Jerome's birthday is on the day the fair normally would have opened, so we are still planning our fair food night, and we will add a chocolate cloud cake for him. This week, we are planning a little celebration for the Transfiguration, mostly by eating cake. I have some coloring pages of icons for the little kids and we will do the readings and prayers that day. That mosaic above is one of my favorite icons of the Transfiguration. It is from the Monastery of Saint Catherine of Alexandria on Mount Sinai, which is the longest continuously operating monastery there is.

FWIW, my daughter's martial arts school is open, and we've been sending her. She's not happy with the mask, but the class is still a workout even with the masks.
They are also keep the classes small so they can spread out.
