Tuesday is a good morning to watch for hummingbirds as the sun comes up with a cup of coffee.
Oh look, here comes one now. I am glad he found a flower and not my coffee.
Monday evening around 6 pm we got 1.4" of rain in 40 minutes; Sunday evening we got 1.8" in just over an hour; and Saturday we had two showers for a total of 1.9".
Yes, our yard is squishy! I think we are nearing 30" of rain for the year already.
Time to put a smile on my face and if it rains again I will run outside and splash in the puddles as long as they aren't tooooo deep or muddy.
Saturday we got just under 2" and this evening we got just under 2" in about an hour. I love going out the garage and splashing in the water that stands in the driveway. So today I took this beautiful reflection as the sun was setting.
Wake up and let's get this Friday started. It is almost the weekend. And the weekend is for resting and doing little to nothing! It is the last day of May and June is about to start.
After all that we have done this past week, I do think the warranty is just about to expire on yard work and housework and picking up limbs from trimmed trees.
Rbt and I joined a new group. Have you heard of it? It might include napping daily. We have come to the realization that we can't keep up with our kids and grandchildren.
We are even having trouble keeping up with technology and all the new updates. Do you remember the way the phone used to work when you just flipped it open or just picked up the receiver and dialed the number?
There are so many distractions. We just need to stay on course and not get off track. Getting old is NOT for sissies and I just want to accomplish Jesus' "to do" list for me.
Let your light shine this Wednesday. Yesterday afternoon was one of the most beautiful days in May. After the storms, the sun came out but the temperatures were much cooler.
How awesome to enjoy a Spring day before Summer gets a hole and takes over.
As beautiful as the day was, it was NOT a good day to go for a drive. Signal lights were still out and even some restaurants were not open because of no electricity.
However, it was a perfect day to sit on the patio and enjoy the rocking chair, especially when someone else is rocking you!
Every day do whatever it takes to find a way to let your light shine and to be happy and to share your smile with others.
Tuesday is here and it is the last one for the month of May.
Spring will soon be gone officially for this year. So let's enjoy the beauty of spring in the mountains of Montana.
At noon yesterday it was 94° and felt like 100°. I think spring has come and gone. I was dripping wet by the time I got plants in the backyard water, some were very wilted.
Since school is out, it is time to head for the Beach. This looks cooler than it feels at our house.
Spring or Summer. Mountains or Beach. Sometimes you have a choice and sometimes you don't. But when you do, choose wisely!
Saturday weekend is here and we need it to recover! It was a very busy week.
Memorial Day Weekend has a lot going on too. Is it a tax free weekend? Are you traveling? Or are you having a family & friends gathering? Our flag is proudly waving in the wind!
Once again, we celebrated early. Wendy & I shopped at Costco up and down each isle for over 2 hours while the guys ran an errand.
Wendy & I even spent a little time on the patio. As you can tell, it was a beautiful evening as they were loading up to leave.
There were so many Blessings flowing all around and now I'm sharing them with you! Have a fabulous, fun Caturday and long weekend.
Wacky Wednesday is here again. Monday evening we had 2 new toilets installed. They came at 6:20 pm, they left at 8:20 pm and they cleaned up everything.
What is for breakfast? Yesterday I vacuumed the house, Rbt steam cleaned the bathrooms, and I mowed the yard. We got a 3 minute shower but the ground was so warm after 5 minutes the ground was dry again.
So today we are going to run a few errands. First we are going to vote early and see if the Food Trucks are still in downtown Fate.
Some of you already knew about our new toilets and some of you have already seen a BUNCH of my solar lights in the yard from my email but I thought I would show you how peaceful it is at night on the patio.
This is how I feel after all the cleaning, moving stuff, mowing and running errands. Housework is NOT my bag. Do you think I can go another 20 years before I start on another room to clean?
Oh what a beautiful Tuesday it is today. What shall we discover today?
Spring is fading and the dandelions are too. Get ready for the hot temperatures of summer.
I have hummingbirds, butterflies and dragonflies now. Have you seen any dragonflies yet this season?
Each and every dragonfly is a blessing and I have seen quite a few lately as the seasons are changing.
I wonder what will show up next. I am always on the lookout for each of God's creatures. Now where is that Giraffe? Oh, I know what else... I have seen lots of ladybugs too on the Mint plants and even in the grass.
Where is everyone on this beautiful Caturday? Yesterday we were partly cloudy with big white puffy clouds. Today the forecast is for Sunshine and near 90°.
Put away the jackets and the dandelions are just about gone. Time for shorts and t-shirts and bare feet. I go barefoot just about all year long.
How can you nap when it is the end of college baseball's regular season? Almost time for the playoffs. College girls are already trying to make it to the playoffs.
However, if you weather is as purrrfect as ours should be today, we might both find time for daydreaming and a nap.
The dog at the top might disagree with this statement, but with a dog or a cat, either one is a wonderful napping partner in rain or sunshine.
Thursday's forecast is for more rain! We are already double what we usually have for this time of year.
What? More rain? We never turn down rain.
Just look how beautiful the flowers are and how green the grass is now!
Speak for yourself! We are just looking for a dry place to eat our breakfast!
It is sometimes hard to see the Stars if it is raining. But this too shall pass and the sun will soon be scorching, I mean shining! Blessings & Hugs! Pam
How did we get to Wednesday, middle of May? Where did the month go?
We still have 5 weeks of Spring left and we are in the 90's already!
Find somewhere to take a dip and cool off if your temperatures are too hot.
You are always welcome on our patio. Yesterday a hummingbird flew up to this feeder, saw me, flew toward me, scared me, and then I scared him.
Even with temperatures climbing, there is nothing like getting some natural Vitamin D. So come on over any time. You know where I will be, watching the birds.
