Sunday morning, slight breeze with clouds around but no rain for us.
I think I lost another rose bush (this is NOT my rose, but I wish it was).
Then the Blessings came down from Heaven. We got 1/2" in this downpour and another 1/10" during the night when our electricity was off for 2 hours.. Thank you all for the prayers that were answered.
Hope you are enjoying today as it's the beginning of the 3 day holiday weekend. I put the flags down the drive and around the house. It looks so nice. Was a beautiful 83 degree sunny no hummidity day - couldn't have been more perfect. Made chicken salad out of the chicken I roasted the other day then started making chicken soup for dinner - it was so good. We have enough for another dinner or lunch for a couple days. Took the frame of the potty chair I got when I was discharged from having my hip replacement, over to my friend who just had her knee replaced. They have a low standard toilet and I'm sure this will help her get on and off as it goes over the toilet. Hope you had a good day and will have a nice two days more. Hugs, Wendy
Evening Cheryl. Didn't do alot today but did go out to dinner with his brother and wife - we ate Italian - i had stuffed shells and Rich ate ravioli. I took one of my two shells home with me. his brother and wife had steak sandwiches. We went tothe Moose last nite for butter beans and cornbread, but they weren't really that good, as they were too soupy and not many beans and ham in them. And several people complained as we did. She had knee replacement today so I doubt she'll be there tomorrow nite and if they can't find anyone to cook tomorrow nite (the regular woman will be off) then no one eats there. We'll go to the VFW and eat - there menu is pretty good. Enjoy the nite and have a good Friday. Hugs, Wendy
Yep, August is gone but not summer - not yet. Your page is pretty Cheryl. We had the remnents of the storm blow thru here last nite but it wasn't as bad as the weather folks predicted - not in our area anyway. But it sure cooled down quite a bit. I wore jeans to go out to eat with Richiie's brother and his wife and I'm glad I did. We stoped at the CPOA club and it was a bit chilly in there. Have a peaceful nite. Hugs, Wendy
Thursday always produces a smile because the weekend is in sight. This is the last day of August. Are you ready for a new month? I will be working tomorrow to start September off right.
We have survived the last six weeks of heat and we hope to say goodbye to it along with the month of August.
We are ready to welcome a new month, a new season and new colors into our lives.
I am ready for flowers to be blooming again but first we need rain and lots of it.
The Blue Super Moon has been beautiful the last 3 nights and I do love taking pictures of it.
I am ready and waiting with my camera phone charged. Miracles happen after a good thunder and lightning show with lots of rain.
Wednesday is the new Friday; oh wait, that is supposed to be Thursday is the new Friday. I am grateful for each day that comes our way.
I have had such fun with the hummingbirds lately. Because of the heat, the lack of rain and flowers not blooming a lot, they are protecting the feeders.
They have really been showing off a lot and their colors are bright in the sunshine. Have you ever touched a hummingbird?
I have a tall plant on the patio about 3' from the feeders and they have begun to sit there to protect the feeder from other hummingbirds.
One afternoon when I went out to check to see how much food was in the feeder, a hummingbird zoomed in to sit on the plant and was about 15" from me. In the sunshine his throat was a bright yellow!
He looked at me eye to eye and when he realized I was standing there, you should have seen how fast he flew away. But looking at him so close, his throat was the most beautiful red. It is amazing all the colors that their throat will turn in different light. What a blessing to be so close even without a phone camera.
Wanted to get some comments out before this but I didn't seem to find time I ran the vacuum and cleaned out a roaster chicken - that's the worst and longest part We ate a little before 7 which isn't too bad. We like to eat later in the summer cause it stays lighter later. It's dark now by 8:30 - what ever happened? It used to stay light till 9ish when I was young and n0 it wasn't in the diasour times! Have a good nite Cheryl. Hugs, Wendy
We have a bit cooler temperatures this beautiful Tuesday. But we are still waiting for the rain. I have already showered and watched hummingbirds this morning,
Today we are doing a little rain dance with our morning coffee.
It is a beautiful day on the horizon and for a few days to come then we will be back to very hot!
I am sharing thank you kisses with those that were praying for Texas for cooler weather.
Now sharing our Blessings with you as the month of August is coming to an end for this year.
