We finally got rain today - not alot but I didn't need to go out and water the plants. Wendt to the movies by myself to see Top Gun 2 - was really good and glad I got to see it as I missed seeing Jurasic Park - the new one. Rich only likes going to the canteen to drink, by the way he just got home. I ate left over Pizza from the other nite - was so good still. There is still a peice left if he wants it. I think the temps have come down but the humidity is still high. I folded whites that I washed and dried yesterday and put everythign away - all his underwear. Stay cool. Hugs, Wendy
I just started this nice summer bird puzzle today as the rain is coming down off and on this morning. We are at 67 for the temp at the moment. Now where is my coffee cup? Nice to have coffee to sip on as one finds pieces to the puzzle. I do believe this will be a nice lazy day doing this and that. Hope your Tuesday is being nice to you. May you have a glorious week.

It was 95 today - might get some rain after midnite - we'll wait and see. Stay cool and take care.
Music Monday! Do you like music? Do you listen to it? Do you dance?
I love Oldies and older Country music and we listen to SiriusXM quite a bit. My girls both like Choir in school. We used to dance all the time but since Hubby's hip surgeries we do not go dancing anymore.
But music will always be one of the keys to my heart. Even though I can't really sing, remember the words or play an instrument. What do you play?
I have videos from when my granddaughters were very young playing all sorts of instruments, horns, drums, etc. Actually, Michelle is now taking virtual guitar lessons from Mexico every week.
Now, if I can just keep my plants alive, I will be happy. I need to turn on the music outside and water them. Monday Blessings to you!
Such a pretty lily in my flower garden. Puts a smile on my face seeing all the lilies in the flower bed of many colors that was planted last fall. My goodness saying the world fall we will be heading into August soon. Really to tell you the truth I am looking forward the fall days. Hope we are blessed with a long colorful fall season. Ha, Ha, I am even wearing today a brown outfit and have a fall amber orange sweater on for it is 57 for the temp at the moment this morning. Loving these cooler days. In the mean time I'am sipping on a nice cup of coffee. Have a Glorious Life doing this and that and I will do the same. Smiles Gloria
Evening Cheryl - didn't do a whole lot today - just cleaned house and made dinner - sauteed cabbage along with a small canned ham - and tomato salad. Was out till midnite lst nite with friends at the Moose - was a nice time and we even slow danced a little. Playing dominoes tomorrow nite - just the 4 of us - so it'll be quiet but still will have a nice time. I dosn't have to cook this week. Hope you tomatoe plants will make it - they love the sun but maybe not this hot!! Are you getting any little tomatoes? Have a quiet evening and a restful Sunday. Hugs, Wendy
A beautiful day to you. Just had to share this picture of the bachelor button plants. I use to have them many years back in the flower gardens. A dear friend gave me some seeds to plant this summer. Looking forward to seeing them once again in the flower garden. Wonder if there is a poem for the bachelor buttons for they are such a smilie flower . Think I will look into that thought. May you have a relaxing weekend. Smiles Gloria

I am all dressed up for a trip to town on Saturday. Are you going anywhere today? Have any fun plans?
Since we only have 4 dogs, what do you think about getting a new pet? I would like to put netting over the back yard and just let it fly free!
Nothing would be more fun than going dancing this evening. Do you like to dance? We love listening to SiriusXM, 50's Gold, Oldies, and of course lots of Classic old Country Music.
Aren't dreams nice? I guess I will just play in the garden! I sure hope I make you happy as I love being a gardener!
July is way more than half over! July is the month for vacations! July is usually the perfect month for picnics!
If you live in Texas in 2022, July is the best month to leave the state. My DIL and granddaughters have been in Mexico where the days are about 75° and the nights around 55°. Sadly, they have to come back to our HOT weather because school starts soon.
I do hope you are enjoying the month of July with dress up and picnics or that you have been on a lovely vacation. If so. where did you go?
I feel like all I have done is spin my wheels this month... and watered and watered and watered the plants and the grass. If you don't hear from me again, it is because my water bill showed up in the mail and I fainted!
I am sure I will need a day at the beach! Hey, maybe I can bring some water back with me. I wonder how much my car can hold. Any ideas? OK, my plants probably won't like salt water.
Maybe a trip to fresh water like Crater Lake. Can you imagine the cost of gasoline from Oregon to Texas? I guess I'll just have to pay my water bill. However, Multnomah Falls is one of my favorite places.
It's 91 today with a blustry wind. So much fun watching the humming birds trying to land on the swinning feeders. Even though it's windy, it's still hot out there if you stay out too long. I just was outside for a while and came in HOT. Riich went out to give the dog a bath and put womme weed eater down and he felt wet when he finaly finally came in. Going out to dinner with the group tonite - a new place where you can buy wine or craft beers and snack food, or you can bring your own meal. We are getting a large pizza to share with Richie's brother. This certainly will be a different set up. Glad it's a bit cooler where you are Cherly. Have a good rest of yur day - smile and be happy. Hugs, Wendy
Welcome to Texas! I wonder how many people moved here, paid way too much for a house, and have nowhere else to go are loving our 109° temperatures with no rain in the near future. I read stories on NextDoor Neighbor all the time about moving companies holding their belongings for more money$$$.
If you live here, I want to know what is for breakfast and what time it is usually ready. Oh, and let me know the address too.
Maybe later in the day, we could swing out over the waves. Now that looks like a lot of fun. Have you ever been in one of those great big swings?
And when the moon comes up, I would love to take a stroll on the beach. That is, unless the mosquitos are as bad there as they are in Texas.
Or we could just sail around in the warm breeze far away from mosquitos. Doesn't that look like fun? Now, back to reality... we start the day in Texas at 82° and at 5:30 in the afternoon in Texas, it is 107°. My garage started at 90° today and was as high as 103° yesterday. Welcome to Texas! Cheryl, so glad you have cooler temperatures and hope we get a break today.
Hugs
