My goodness the morning is now in the past and the afternoon is now here for me to enjoy as I wish. For some reason I am in a fall mood so I put some pumpkin spice creamer in my coffee for the fun of f it. Ever so smooth and tasty. Looking forward to cooler temps. May you have a pleasant week counting all ones blessings from above. Smiles Gloria

Most of our county has power again after Thursday's 80mph winds. We are fortunate to have kept our power, and no trees down in our area. More storms this afternoon. Hope your day is less "weather" and always safe and comfy. *hugs* -di
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.
The beautiful month of August is now here with all of its surprises and wonders that this month will bring us.
We are receiving some wanted rain showers today and tomorrow. Maybe I will go out and splash in afew puddles for the fun of it. May you have a glorious day what ever you will be doing and will do the same here in my neck of the woods. Smiles Gloria
When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles! ~Author unknown
My goodness this day just started and it is now going into the afternoon. The Laundry is done and went to the store for groceries. Now it is time to have a nice cup of coffee as I sit back and find that book that I am reading. May you have a peaceful week enjoying your moments . Smiles Gloria
I love old poems, ladies who lived in past times. Life was maybe not easier, but people took time to idle sometime, and mostly they took time admiring a sunrise, the flowers opening their hearts, etc. ~Marie-Ancolie Romanet #oldsoul
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.
