Sunday morning blessings to you! A new week is starting for us and I only work 2 days then Jody will be Kelly's full time Business Office Assistant.
Gosh how I will miss talking to our clients each day and I'll miss Kelly a lot too. But I will let it all go until they call me to come in when Jody needs a vacation day to visit her family.
I will still be singing out loud the happiest tune I can find each and every day.
I will have a new voice and a new song to be sung. Oh my, why are people around me covering their ears?
Just because I am singing my heart out and sharing it with the world around me. A new chapter is starting again.
Good Caturday Morning to you! I am peeking in to see what you are doing today! I am watering, imagine that!
The plants are so wilted that there are very few blooms to even smell. We have been 104°-107° with heat indexes above 115°. We no longer have a green yard; it is yellow and the grass is almost dead.
It is best just to stay inside with the air conditioner and just glance outside through the window. Then pull the shades down again.
Don't open the window! The heat will come in and no telling who else! Maybe some nosey neighbor.
Have you seen that new guy with the blue eyes that moved into our neighborhood last week? I think his name is Gus!
I heard him call me a peeping tom just yesterday! Can you imagine? Doesn't he know who he is talking to?
Here we go, ready or not, Thursday is here. I work Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I will then be home full time starting Wednesday. Do you have plans to go anywhere or do anything fun?
I think I would enjoy a train ride through the rocky mountains but not sure I would trust most of the train tracks of today.
Now a nice quiet boat ride would be fun but I am not interested in running the rapids any time soon.
I do like water, but I am not a swimmer per say. I like fishing from the bank better than from a boat. I love sitting on a bank and listening to the sounds.
And few people love a good rain with thunder and lightning more than I do. Please Lord, let it rain soon all over the state of Texas. We need blessings!
Sunday sure came fast. After I watered the plants yesterday morning, we sat on the patio for a while. I got videos of a male hummingbird, a female hummingbird, monarch butterflies, a female cardinal drinking out of a bird bath, a male cardinal drinking out of the saucer under one of the plants and saw several other hummingbirds that were in the tree waiting for us to leave so they could come drink.
Now it is time to get ready for my last long week. I might be off on Thursday but it will be a busy week. I am getting excited but I know how much I will miss Kelly and all her wonderful clients.
So we will be sailing off into the sunset to a new adventure. On Wednesday, the 16th, I will not HAVE to wake up around 5 am. I don't ever set an alarm but I am always up early enough to get done what I need to do that morning before work.
Even though I have finished a couple of WONDERFUL Christian books lately, I have added many more books to my Kindle app on my iphone. I love getting free books every day and just can't not download them.
Thanks for hangin' in there with me and being such a treasured friend. My posts will be in the bulletins for a bit longer. But I always look forward to hearing from you and the pictures you share.
I hope your Sunday is a blessing and not scorching hot. Sprinklers are going non stop here.
Wendy shared a picture with us and I told her that it is more peaceful at her place than it is in our backyard. It is wonderful to see the new babies.
Another friend shared a picture of her son swimming with a dolphin in Cabo. He has lots of swimming medals from earlier in school but what a blessing this must be for him and his girlfriend as she swam with a dolphin too.
My friend in Lubbock is getting a new Standard Poodle puppy soon. She wants her dog to teach her niece how to be a Perfect lady. What a blessing!
Of course, I couldn't leave without sharing our blessings to have wonderful neighbors. We have watched Bennett grow up and now Livvy is 2. They both loved the Ice Cream Cart we gave her. She couldn't wait to lick the Ice Cream. Be sure to count your blessings every day!
Oh my, do the flowers dry out fast with day after day of over 100° weather. I hope the flowers have some scent left on this hot, dry Saturday.
This is the view each night in our backyard from 9 pm to 11 pm. The laser lights are set on an app timer to turn on and off each night. A couple of days after I first set it up, our neighbor sent Rbt a picture/video and asked him if he knew strange things were going on in our yard.
When you look off to the side of the tree, it looks like fireflies in the dark sky. It is very peaceful sitting on the patio and I can't wait for it to get cooler so I can sit out there longer.
You know you are invited to come on over and sit with us anytime day or night. After all, time is flying by so fast. Say goodbye to July and to our younger days!
Thursday is a Blessed day. Amazing things are going on all around us every minute of every day.
Have you been to the beach this summer? Just watching the waves go in and out and the clouds go by is so much fun.
What would you do if you saw this happening right in front of you? Ok, I wouldn't be out there like that, but it would be a site to see.
When you go to the beach, do you ever wonder what is really down there? Or are you a scuba diver?
There is nothing like a Mother's love. Have you seen Koalas in real life, like in the zoo? Or have you been to Australia? This is so Sweet! Share the amazing things all around you that put a smile on your face.
Sunday is not always a day of rest. But it is always a day for coffee and Blessings from God.
So today the fence should be sprayed with Wood Defender Cedar Color Stain. It is not cheap but I will be at work tomorrow to help pay for this so check the bulletins for my daily updates.
However, there are days that I am not sure I know anything at all. Do you have days like that?
Well, if you do, come on over. I will pour you a cup of coffee and we will sit on the porch and talk about solving all the problems of the world.
After all that is what friends are for each and every day, rain or shine or blistering hot Texas weather.
It is already Sunday! Oh my! Well, time for me to start getting ready for my last 4 weeks.
Yesterday morning I was outside watering shortly after 7 am. By 9 am I was dripping wet and as I was finishing up, I saw a couple of beautiful butterflies. Yes, they were ORANGE and I got a good video too.
Have you looked around today to see the beauty right near you today? A picture is worth a thousand words.
Anytime of the day and any season of weather or season of life, there is always something beautiful to behold.
So I hope before this Sunday is over, you have looked around to find all things beautiful and smiled!!!
Oh my goodness! Sunday is here! I will probably be working Mon. thru Fri. the next two weeks. Please check the bulletins daily.
Yes, my burden is light even at work. I love our clients. Friday as I was ready to turn off my computer, the phone rang. What joy I left the office with after visiting with this long time client.
Yes, every day there are many blessings. To be able to work and help Kelly and our clients always puts a smile on my face.
You never know what someone else is going through. So I always try to find something positive and uplifting to say to them.
Sunday is for refueling because you never know what the week will bring you or what you might be going through either. So rest up and be ready for anything!
Yes, this is late today... because we got RAIN!!! Blessings from Heaven!!! We got almost 7/10" in just over 30 minutes. Oh my, did we ever need it. We still have very large cracks in the yard, but all the plants got a drink and my buckets were replenished.
