We are in the middle of the week and the temperatures are inching their way closer to the 80's.  

Sometimes Wednesday is just a catch up day.  Catch up on sleep as well at laundry and other chores.  

Some weeks are just rough going and you need the seas to calm down.  My week like that was last week.  

I hope I learned a lesson from it and will remain calmer the next time some things don't go exactly like I think they should.  

After all, God is always on my side and working in my best interest as well as teaching me a lesson along the way.  

Tuesday is the day!  What are your plans?  We still have cooler temperatures and so...  

I thought I would drop by for a visit.  Do you have sunshine and beautiful weather?  

Maybe we can take a walk.  We can listen for the chatter of the birds and possibly catch sight of some Cardinals.  

I would love to see some of your beautiful flowers and even pick some to take home with me.  

We could complete the day walking along the beach just before the sun sets.  That would be a perfect ending.  Thanks for letting me drop in!  

I am trying to smile this Monday morning but it is still dark.  Just another reason I like summer... long days of SUNSHINE!

I do not like total darkness.  I have night lights in every room.  However, I know that Heaven's light is shining in my heart and I hope you can see it.  

Even at night when I go out to take pictures, the moon and stars (and my backyard solar lights) light up the area.  

I try to always be a light and I hope you light up when you are around others too.  

This week let us all be a lighthouse for those that are in darkness or in a dark place and need some light.  

Blessings on this Sunday and every day.  Laughter is the best medicine!  On that we can all agree.  

Love is what life is all about and it is healing along with time!  Every day show your love for everyone you meet.  

Some days it takes extra hope & strength with a smile on your face to show the love in your heart.  

Always look for the good with Love, Laughter, Hope, Strength, Smiles and whatever it takes.  Sundays are for starting the week off practicing all of these.  

Just look at that smile on my face.  I may not be moving fast but I am sharing Sunday Blessings with you today and always.  

My gosh!  Where did the week go?  I had to look and see what day it was, FRIDAY?!  Friday the 13th is my lucky day!  

I think I need Chocolate and a lot of it to go with my coffee today!  It has been quite a week!  

Would you get me some ice to go with my scotch?  I only wish, with weeks like this one, that I would still drink!  

So I will just have Faith in the lessons that God has taught me this week and say, Thank You Lord!  Now, let's get ready for the weekend!  

Thursday was supposed to be a warm, near 90°, day for us but because of all the clouds yesterday and today, we will only be about 81°.  However the promises of an even cooler weekend are in sight.  

What is your story?  I hope you are enjoying your story and that you are right where you want to be in it.  

Your happy life should include love and showing lots of love toward lots of different people.  

So for today, let's just sit back and enjoy the view and my favorite colors make this view perfect.  

Smile!  It is hump day, middle of the week, Wednesday!  I changed my router and what fun!  I am back up and running after almost 24 hours.  

Is your battery low and in need of being charged?  Today is the perfect day to smile and make others wonder what you are thinking!  Do you know how many things have to be reset because of no internet and a new router?  

What are you looking at?  Besides, that is a good way to get people to talk to you and share "love" with them!    

We love our pets!  We love the Fall season!  We love each other!  Share your smile and love everyday!  I am still smiling!  

Welcome to Tuesday!  I love flowers!  It is almost time to plant Tulips and other bulbs for them to come up in the Spring.  

We will take a slow drive down the dead-end road to the house and look at all the different colors.  

We can get out and get an up close view of the pretty pink ones.  

When you plant the bulbs you are never sure of what colors will come up.  Wouldn't this be a lovely surprise?  

Of course, this would be my favorite view.  A field of orange, yellow and red with the beautiful orange evening clouds rolling in.  Thanks for coming along with me!  

Monday is always an awesome day.  The beginning of a new week!  

This Monday is two fold.  It is also a Federal holiday which means no mail and yet the stock market is open and trading today.   

Just when you think you have it all figured out, they confuse us with what is open and what is not open.  

They confuse us with AI and what is real and what is not real.  

So let's just go out, take a ride and make this an AWESOME day!  

Caturday is here!  The weekend has begun, well, for those who get up early anyway.  As a baby, my son got his days and nights mixed up and they are still that way!  

I have a special delivery for you from FedEx.  I can tell you are "chancing" one eye to see what it is!  

Do you know how good pumpkins are?  If your dog has an upset stomach give them canned pumpkins.  I always keep a can or two on hand.  

Did you know that cows, deer, chickens, ducks, etc. all love eating pumpkins?  

Good Night!  See you in the morning!  

Jump for Joy!  Friday is finally here again!  Yippee!  

Who all wants to go to the beach this weekend?  What cool weather?  

You want to come visit the farm?  After all, it is a beautiful day!  

Look at the beautiful flowers we picked to celebrate the weekend.  Let's wait for it to begin together.  

As you can tell, I don't wear shoes unless I am getting in the car and going somewhere.  For now, let's chill and see what comes next.  

Oh my list is so long that I don't even know where to start.  Our Medicare Specialist went over the new plans for next year and we are saving $$$.   

It started raining last night about 9:15 pm and rained on and off until after 5 am this morning.  Yes, we are ever so THANKFUL.  The big cracks in the yard are now very small and shallow.  What a Blessing!  

I am always thankful for coffee.  I love the smell of it much more than I do drinking it.  However, I love drinking it too!  

There is nothing like love jumping on you when you walk in the door.  I am not sure we will ever get another pet or dog but at the same time, I can't imagine life without one.  

I am so blessed by all the friends that I have and have had some of them 40-50 years or more.  New and long time friends mean the world to me!  

The journey hasn't always been smooth but I am so grateful for the road we are on now and where He has led us.  Glad you are part of it too!  

Don't I look excited that it is Wednesday?  I am waiting for rain, lots of rain!  

Yesterday was supposed to be our last Hot day and we are supposed to get some rain.  Time to put away the sunglasses for a few days!  

We all know that after the rain, we will need them again, no matter the temperatures.  

My favorite thing about Fall is all the Orange.. pumpkins, leaves and skies included.  

Taco Tuesday is here!  Our neighbors are back home and now we only see Gus when the kids are in school.  

It's OK.  There are lots of other creatures that will grab our attention today.  That is a dragonfly but it looks like a fairy!  

We don't have too many eagles in our trees but it is always an "ah ha" moment when I do see one, especially taking off in flight.  

There are so many things in this world to see and I thank God for all the photographers!  And yes for the different seasons!  

We have the promise of cooler temperatures and rain in our forecast.  I think we are catching up with the rest of you soon.  

Coffee Time!  Monday is already here and October is here!  What will this month bring to us?  

Every day when I go outside, I look up at the sky!  This morning the moon was big, white and round in our blue sky.  

Isn't it amazing how each day is different and very unique.  I never get tired of looking around me.  

The amazing things that happen way up above us.  God's handiwork!  

The creations that change every day, sometimes in an hour.  He is truly amazing.  Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!  

It was another win for the Texas Longhorns even though the first half wasn't pretty.  So I am happy today!  

That's what I look like every day when we feed Gus the cat and give scraps to the chickens.  

They just pull at my "heart strings"!  Our neighbors will be home sometime Monday so today will be our last evening to gather eggs.  

Nothing like being a Mother Hen!  But we love taking care of their animals.  It was so cute when we "call" Gus and he comes running to us.  He knows we love him.  

The most fun thing each day is to share your love with someone else.  Sometimes it is a hug, sometimes a smile, sometimes just a call.  Let's make it a great week and share our love!  

Caturday Greetings!  Would you like a cup of coffee?  Come on over and I'll introduce you to some of my friends.  

Several friends are already here.  Today we are talking about flowers!  We would love for you to join us.  

We already have a spot for you at the table.  Do you know the name of these flowers?  No one that is already here seems to know.  

If it gets too windy or cold or begins to rain, we can always move inside for a while.  

And please, don't worry about being shy or the "odd" one in the group.  We have several like that.  We just like to gather to share things that put a smile on each other's face!  

Meet Gus, the cat next door!
