How are you today? I am dreaming of being on a beach, under a big umbrella with a good book, icy drink, and a York peppermint patty so I may feel a "cool breeze blowing through my hair" as the ad says. LOL. Stay cool and hydrated in this heatwave!
I have errands to run today. The College World Series starts Friday. So I will catch up on movies on UPtv or Hallmark or read Christian books on Kindle. But for now, I am off and running.
Don't forget to share your smile with everyone you encounter. We have a reprieve from 100's until next Monday, unless they change the forecast, but that is something to smile about. Your page and your picture always make me smile.
Short night, 4 hours sleep. The Longhorns baseball game was supposed to start at 3 pm but with rain delay in NC, it didn't start until 9:15 pm. However, we are heading on to Omaha so it was worth the very late night. Then dogs were barking at a snake way before daylight and later two of them each caught a mouse, one of which brought the still barely alive one in the house. It is nap time in our house! SO, HOW IS YOUR MONDAY GOING?
Does anyone have a telephone number for Sparks505, or know if Lee is OK? She hasn't answered my email and I am still worried about her. Thanks!
Next question, do you ever see Monarch Butterflies? Do you have any Milkweed plants? They look like this...
When Monarchs feed on milkweed, the caterpillars ingest toxins in the plant that make them poisonous to predators until they become adult butterflies. The plant will have pods on it that contain seeds.
This is what the pod looks like when it opens and the seeds fly away, all over the place. I have at least three envelopes full of seeds and many more pods to open soon. Let me know if you would like seeds. My neighbor, a teacher, always captures the caterpillars and watches them turn into a butterfly. This year we were both out of Milkweed because of the bad freeze a year ago in February. We both bought plants. I also bought 4 colors of seeds which I shared with others already not knowing how many seeds my plant would produce. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this lesson as I did not realize Monarchs covered such a large area.
Too hot for me - it might get to 90 but too early for it to be 100 Cheryl. Hope you stay indoors and keep cool. Had lunch at the center then went for a mamo - always fun! Rich went to the post, I sstayed home - everyone is at the conference so i didn't want to go. Ate some leftovers and now watching tv. Earlier I caught up on the last two episodes of This Is Us - cried like a bably - hate sad endings. Have a cool day tomorrow and take care. Hugs, Wendy
Have you ever seen a two headed giraffe? Ok, maybe it is the angle but it is really neat looking! I have one more for you... Have you ever seen a giraffe umbrella?
Well, now you have seen both! I am so blessed! My friend since 3rd grade, of about 65 years, sent that to me in the mail. Isn't it cute!!! And I love the feet on it too. Earlier in the week, a friend of about 45 years sent us 3 different flavors of Pretzels. Then yesterday I got two beautiful but different Patriotic scarves I can wear to work from a Hillian friend of about 10 years. I am truly BLESSED!
This morning was cloudy, cool, and spitting rain for just over an hour. So we got the yard mowed. Of course, it is 96° with a "feel like" of 106° or 1006° right now as we still have several hours to reach our high for the day. We even got our errands run, bought dog food, got Hubby's passport picture, and got his glasses ordered from Costco as well as bought everything and then some at Costco that was on our list. We are ready for the weekend! How about you?
Is your Friday as fabulous as mine, I hope? We have a beautiful reprieve from high dew points and humidity today and it is amazing. Been outside doing some watering and enjoying the gentle breeze. Tomorrow the stickiness begins its return and a really intense heat wave will hit us next week. So I am enjoying this day and not worrying about the next few.
Can you feel it? That's Friday creeping closer by the minute. Hope your day is going great and you have a peaceful evening of rest. Today, our youngest grandson turns 4 years old. He will begin preschool when school starts in August. Time is flying by so we had better not blink or we'll miss something.
