Another day with chances of rain.  

This was my view a few days ago.  

Fall is the time for Chrysanthemums to bloom.  Isn't it amazing how different times of the year different plants show their colors.  

This Tuesday morning we are still waiting for rain.  It is west of us!  Fort Worth got a nice rain yesterday evening!  

Me, waiting for rain to get here.  Cooler temperatures coming... a high of 55 for Halloween is cold!  Not waiting for that!  Just trying to be thankful for every minute of every day.

Monday is here and our weather is changing.  I am enjoying the change but...  

I miss my hummingbirds so very much.  I love spending hours on tha patio watching them.  

I am thankful for all the many days they are at my feeders.  I know they went somewhere warm and they will be back.  

Is it time for them to come back yet?  I will just wait for them right here.  

Is there anything you are waiting for as this new week begins?  

Grace!  The favor of God!!  What a beautiful Sunday!  May you enjoy this day with family and friends.  

We are all here to celebrate this day with you.  Be all you can be and do all you can do.  

Share your smile and show your love every day.  That is what this life is all about.  

Let your Light shine wherever you go.  It makes people wonder about you and what in the world makes you so happy!  

Dare to be different!  Okapi is in the giraffe family!  I am part of God's family!  

The weekend is here and I want to wish you a very Blessed Caturday!  

Everybody has their own view!  However, this is NOT one of my favorites.  If you have never had this view or fallen, count your blessings twice!  

What are you looking at?  Some of us always land on our feet.  

It is the weekend after all so let us all go to the beach and just CHILL.  Because we are in the 90's in Texas.  

Time to celebrate and be thankful for all of our Blessings!  I am still in t-shirt & shorts, just the way I like it.  

Little things make Fridays such a favorite day of the week.  

Our attitude is a BIG part of that Friday feeling!  Today we just have to be Happy and FLY like the Fall Leaves!  

Put on your best red dress and go out dancing tonight!  Just twirl around, feel good and share your love with a smile.  

We made it through another week and Fall is here.  There is so much to be Thankful for and let the weekend begin.  

Blessings this Sunday morning!  Are you singing loud enough for the Lord and for others to hear the joy in your heart?  

Today refreshes your soul.  Let go and just listen.  That can be hard.  Sometimes we wonder just what to do and how did I get here.  

Challenges make us stronger and can lead us in the right direction if we take time to look at all the angles.  

Too many people want to have total control, especially in our world today!  

My wishes are that you will go out into this world and share your bright light with everyone you encounter.  Share your blessings with others!  

Don't miss out on anything!  Friday is here and there are hopes and dreams of rain and cooler weather.  

Sunflowers are amazing.  They are found everywhere.  Lots just grow wild.  They are found on many of your pages.  

Summer is almost over but look, I found a sunflower on a picnic table!  Isn't it beautiful?  

I think these sunflowers are gorgeous!  The light from the window makes the colors really stand out.  

So as we start this weekend, be on the lookout for sunflowers.  You might even find them at night as you look up at the moon.  

Whoa!  What a way to start a Wednesday!  Is there anything more beautiful than the beach?  Where else would you choose to go today?

Even though I am not much of a water person, a trip to the lake is always beautiful too.  Which do you prefer?  They are both so beautiful, each in their own way.  

How about a trip to the mountains where we can find a cler, cool stream and watch the colors of fall as they start to change?  Are you up for that?  

There is nothing like a waterfall even if there are no other colors but the rock that surrounds it.  Oh!  and the sounds it makes cascading down!  

We might be lucky enough to see a couple of moose wandering down the stream with the mountains in the background surrounded by the colors of Fall as the evening shadows start to appear.  

Let's end the day with a full moon as it reflects on a stream that is slowly rippling as it makes its way downstream.  It has been a perfect day!  Thanks for coming along with me, my friend.  

I kept trying to find a graphic for Monday... and then I'm like wait, yesterday was Monday and today is already Tuesday; tomorrow is hump day.  

No wonder time flies by so fast.  The days, weeks, months and years just keep getting faster and faster.  Sit back and enjoy the view.  

If you do get out and about, be sure to share the love, just sprinkle it wherever you go every day.  Then it will come back to you tenfold.  

We also win when showing love to others.  If you see someone who needs help, stop what you are doing and help them.  It may take some effort on your part or take away from your day, but it will be a big win for you both.  

Grab hold and ride the winds on a cloud and see where the Holy Spirit leads you and what Blessings you will encounter.  It may be obvious right away or later on down the road but the trip will be worth it.  

Blessings upon blessings forever and a day from my heart to yours!  

Hope you enjoy my pictures!  

Moon and no wind on Saturday morning!  

Saturday evening, no wind and fire in the sky!  

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.  

Don't work too hard today or this week.

Are you resting this Sunday to get ready for lots of good food and fun for Labor Day tomorrow?  

We always rest and relax on Sunday and count our Blessings from the past week and look forward to the new Blessings that will come our way.  

It is usually a quiet day for us to listen to our heart and the Holy Spirit to lead the direction of our path for this new week.  

We do just love being together laughing and remembering the past years gone by and troubles we used to get into.  

Of course during our discussions, I do catch Rbt giving me that "LOOK" but then the laughing continues!  

The weekend has arrived and now we await cooler temperatures and rain but it won't be here for our Labor Day weekend.  

I love when the flags are out everywhere in the neighborhood.  Flags fly Free!  

I hope you have fun with friends and family this long weekend and make wonderful memories.  

I hope you have beautiful weather with blue skies and take lots of pictures to share with friends and to go back to often.  

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.  

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.  

Here we are again, Monday.  What shall we do this week?  Water the yard and the plants again every day in front one day and in back the next day.

I can see out the window two of the hummingbird feeders.  I see hummingbirds drinking and chasing each other around.  Oh maybe I will go sit and watch them this morning.  

But the sun is already shining too bright and the heat is already too hot to sit for very long even on the patio.  Where is that North wind to cool us off?  

So the next best thing is to find a dark and quiet spot to read a good book.  

I think a steaming cup of coffee would be the best way to start this Monday off right.  

Then find a steamy good book to read and the week is off on the right foot.  

And hope the yard can make it one more day.  I'll just give thanks for the beautiful sky above it.  

A new week is beginning.  I wonder where this last week of August will take us.  

Let's start this day with coffee and breakfast.  Why does everything taste better on a Sunday?  

Doesn't that make your mouth water?  I love peanut butter and jelly on toast.  

I had such delicious strawberries this past spring.  My plants look like they won't ever come back after this summer's high temperatures.  

I just got this in an email, can you believe that we used more AC last year?  Well, we did turn the thermostat warmer a couple of degrees.  However, my water bill that just came was triple or more this year than last year.  

However, after the summer we have had, we will be grateful for the lower temperatures and rain when it comes.  

Why do Fridays feel so different?  Just knowing that the weekend is upon us makes us go crazy.  

You might be surprised to know how close that is to the truth.  Or you might not be surprised.  

So what are you doing today or this weekend that makes you Happy???  We have been watching Pre-Season Football and are anxiously awaiting College Football.  

I hope you will be silly & happy and have some fun.  Maybe you could call a friend and check on them.  Tell them a story from the past and laugh out loud together.  After all...
