Is there any possibility that August will be cooler? We watered plants and then went to Costco, had lunch, and bought groceries. It is just stupid hot!
However, please let me explain. I am NOT in any way wishing for winter. But those of you that like it... enjoy the picture above.
Now if anybody, anywhere has seen the rain, PLEASE send it my way. We are already over 12" below normal and with these hot temperatures our grass is dying and large cracks are appearing in the yard and around the foundations. Jocobo, another nice page!
Open your heart as you step out today because there are always some precious and meaningful opportunities lurking around. Be prepared to catch and bag those opportunities.
Yes, it is July and summertime in the ole town the next 10 days in a row and that is NOT the feel like temperatures. I am having a hard time keeping my plants from wilting. Can you say, "HOT"???
We have had fireworks over our house for 3 nights in a row now. The first two nights were short lived, but last night started at 8 pm as I was watering plants in the back at 95°. At 10 pm we were still 90° and the mosquitos were terrible. Neighbors on both sides of us were shooting off fireworks over our house. Yes, I have videos!
I hope you are celebrating and having a fun day with family and eating delicious food. I will be celebrating on Tuesday and Wednesday by working so I will check in when I have a minute or two.
I will also be wearing my new Red, White, and Blue scarfs that a sweet friend sent to me to work to celebrate with my new nails. I will be sharing lots of smiles too!
Is it fall yet? I feel like I have a sweater on because I just finished mowing the yard. I am dripping wet. At 11 am we feel like 95°! Now to tell the truth, I love summer but that will be the last time I mow for a long time if we don't get rain, and I mean lots of rain.
Yesterday I got videos of several birds including the hummingbird above. The blue jay, mockingbird and dove were all taking baths in 3 of the birdbaths. The dove was on the ground birdbath and the blue jay and mockingbird were about 6' apart.
I hope you enjoy my pictures as I love taking and sharing them even if I call a praying mantis a walking stick by mistake. Thanks for noticing and making me look up both to compare.
