Spent about 3 hours outside this morning, taking pictures, reading my kindle, talking to God, facetime with friends, and of course...
hummingbirds! That is one of my males. I also have several females. While sitting on the patio I heard lots of airplanes. I have an app called Flightradar24. I had more than 15 airplanes around our area at one time.
Nice weather and very little wind must have everyone out today. One that I clicked on said Dallas to Teterboro. So I followed the flight path and Teterboro is in New York. We have a helicopter repair business less than 2 miles from our house and so we always hear them coming and going. This app is lots of fun. Guess I had better go get our meal of the day cooking.
Sure wish you were here to relax and have a sip of lemonade. Blessings & Hugs! Thanks for your friendship!
We got another 6/10" rain today so that puts us over 3.5" for this week. What a way to start May! You can see the water standing in our creek that runs through our yard when we get lots of rain.
The worst part of a rainy day is doing inside chores instead of being outside with my hands in the dirt. At least I can take a break and visit with you; however, I hear that whip cracking. And I want to be able to finish before Friday gets here.
May the fourth be with you! I hope you had just a wonderful day. I bought a few groceries this morning and Hubby cut up some tree limbs to put in our trash can. Then we went to Elmo, Texas for lunch.
And we wanted to see the Transformer. So Elmo is just a spot in the road on an older highway (Hwy 80) that was replaced years ago with I-20. But we went for the cheeseburgers too!
Now we are waiting for more storms to move in between 10 pm and 4 am with rain possible through 3 pm tomorrow. Blessings & Hugs for you and your family as I am swimming off to find something else to do today. OK, as I go looking for Trouble, my middle name.
Most of the DFW area got rain last night and early this morning. We had 2" between 4:30 and 6 am. There was no sleeping through it as the thunder was loud and the dogs were NOT happy.
Now we have blue skies and it is a beautiful morning. We will have more rain over the next four days and by the weekend we will be in the mid 90's. WHAT? The wind is 20mph right now and the forecast says it will be windy tonight.
Let's just make this a great month no matter what the weather is and have some fun. School will be out soon and vacations will be happening.
Let the dancing and the blessings continue! So glad we are friends Nancy! Hugs!
May flowers! I have so many more than this group and love sharing them with you. Do you remember picking flowers for your Mom? I love the variety of flowering plants in my yard.
These are called Teal We Meet Again. Boy, look at those dry and old hands! You can surely tell they love working outside and need more hand cream. The mower was running again yesterday but Hubby is so sore all over his body.
Last night after 11 I was outside again taking pictures of some of my solar lights. Then I got up before 6 am to enjoy the cool front that got rid of our humidity (which was already back before noon). This reminds me, it is almost time for Texas Longhorn baseball.
May Day and Sunday blessings and hugs coming your way as I dance outside and back inside today. Hope you will join me!
Saturday is here and our rain chances seem to have gone away until Sunday night. Today Hubby is taking another shot at getting the new drive belt on the riding lawn mower.
The belt replacement on the mower deck was completed yesterday, but the drive belt has been a challenge even after many youtube videos. Please say a prayer!
I thought I would share a picture of the front of our home. I replaced some of the solar lights that were old. The cross and the light on it makes this one of my favorite pictures.
This is one of my newest additions to put up in the backyard. A solar hot air balloon wind spinner. Yes I have many different balloon wind spinners. Anyway, I guess I had better go check on Hubby and get a few things done today.
The Lord has blessed us again. Our septic alarm went off at 4 pm yesterday and we called for them to come out this morning to check it. It only cost us a service call to repair a wire (not a new pump $$$).
Now we are getting on with our projects... which may include music and reading! So here is wishing a beautiful weekend for you and your family!
Good morning to you on this glorious day! I went to lunch yesterday with Kelly and Angela. What a blessing! Then we voted on the 2 amendments in Texas as early voting started this week. After that we walked Costco, got Hubby's prescription and a few items on our list.
I do love her expressive eyes! Yes we are working outside today, pulling weeds, getting brush cut up to put in trash cans for pick up tomorrow, and checking to see if any new seeds have burst out above the soil yet.
Hubby is already in for a water break and to let his screaming legs have a rest. Yes, I have dirt under my fingernails already (didn't take time to put gloves on) and now I am sending you "Blessings & Hugs" as I head back outside. Come on over! You are always invited. We can play in the dirt or just sit on the patio and watch the hummingbirds!
I planted 8 pots of flower seeds and mowed with bagging it all front and back. We had about 10 large bags of grass and weeds. Then I went to Brahms for milk and Rosa’s for taco salad. Perfect weather from 46 to 73 today!
Tomorrow I am having lunch with a couple of the girls. Then I have to go to Costco to pick up Hubby's prescription and pick up a couple of things. Can't wait to share my smile with others.
About 3:30 am I woke to a vibrating dog who does NOT like thunder and lightning! It is one of my favorite things! The Rain Angel left us with 1-1/2" of blessed rain. Oh how my plants are singing praises today!
So as we say goodbye to April showers, we say hello to May flowers! (Thanks Anne for the graphic) Blessings from above! And an added bonus of a cool front. We are in the 60's today and should start Taco Tuesday in the upper 40's.
For this last week of April whether it is filled with cold or hot or dry or wet just add smiles and enjoy it.
