Do you remember the before gate project? The boards were rotting and splitting and so Hubby put on new boards bolted to the metal frame and all new pickets.
Didn't he do a beautiful job!?! The dogs can't get under but they can see us when we are working on the other side. AND I got one of my projects done! The bathing area for birds and hummingbirds. Now all I have to do is wait for them to find it.
So it has been a really good week. And here comes Sunday Blessings & Hugs to you!
We made it to Friday! The first week of August is already gone. And we were at 68 this morning where we are usually at 83 to start mornings in August.
Now I know that we are headed for warmer starting temperatures and highs near 100, but Thank You Lord for today! The question is why am I in here instead of outside?
So did you laugh? Or did you at least smile? OK! My job is done and I am onto the next project for today.
I've already been in the computer room for over 2 hours. Where does time go? What have I gotten done? OK, three of the four dogs did sneak out of the yard as Hubby is working on rebuilding a gate with new fence pickets. Dogs are all back in and hole is secured for now we hope!
Here is the before picture. Now it may be a day or two before the project is complete and I can get an after picture. At least I have been seeing my hummingbirds lately. Yesterday evening I got a video of one around the Turk's Cap red flowers. Late evening I saw them at two of the feeders from inside the house. And earlier this morning I saw two of them challenging each other.
Enjoy today hopefully with nicer temperatures. I know our heat is coming back for the weekend and next week. But think, just another 3 months and fall will be upon us. Enjoy the summer season because winter isn't a favorite of many either.
I am really starting to think about fall. This morning I just had to have some caramel pumpkin flavored coffee from the New England coffee blends. Ever so smooth and tasty. Now where is my pumpkin muffin? Opps forgot to make some. I will need to do that one of these days and or pumpkin scones. In the mean time I am having some lemon scones with my coffee on this summer day.
Inbetween the household duties I am having fun putting a puzzle together just for the fun of it to make my day more pleasant. May you find happiness with your moments today. Smiles Gloria

HI NANCY, I DO LOVE THE AUGUST WEATHER MOST OF THE TIME BUT DON'T LIKE HOT TEMPERATURES. WE MAY GET SOME RAIN ON THURSDAY OR FRIDAY AND IF LUCKY ON BOTH DAYS. HOW GREAT THAT WOULD BE . LIVE IN RAIN FOREST HERE BUT NO RAIN FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS NOW.. TAKE CARE NANCY. HUGS, MOE
We had to run to town today to Ace Hardware for some bolts. Hubby is replacing fence pickets on a gate he built 15 or more years ago. So naturally we stopped on the way home for TACOS. Now that our grazing is over, it is on to other things.
Did you say it was August? We started at 69 this morning and are only at 84 now. Yes, we will be near 100 this Saturday and Sunday but for August today is unthinkable weather as you can tell by my expression!
Tomorrow I get to drive in traffic to take Hubby to get Laser surgery on his left eye. We are hoping it will clear up some of his blurry vision. Dallas traffic is always a flip of the coin as to how long it takes to get there.
So I will send you Blessings and Hugs for now and be back soon. Share that smile and I will share mine.
May your day bring calmmess to you and give you such joy within your heart as you do your daily duties. For me at the moment I am having a spot of flavored neapolitan from Good&Gather. It has a chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavor.
May you enjoy your Aug summer day. My thoughts are thinking of the fall season as one sees corn on the cob for sale. Do have a glorious day! Smiles Gloria
Here we are in August already and I don't even know where the last few days have gone. I got the yard mowed Sunday afternoon. We got 8/10" rain Sunday during the night. I also got fresh Hummingbird food put out in all 3 feeders.
The flowers, bugs, birds, grass, everything is so happy today. This weekend we will be back to near 100 but we are grateful to God for all his blessings.
Don't forget to share your smile today. Now off to vacuum and mop this dirty house. Feel free to come over and help as you are always welcome here.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE CATFISH LUNCH AND NOW RELAING FOR THE EVENING NANCY. HUGS, MOE
