As I am enjoying my morning cup of coffee I thought I would chit chat abit with you. May you have a glorious weekend. We received more rain over night so the grass and the flower beds are happy. My goodness this month is flying by ever so quickly enjoying ones moments of life. Hope life is treating you nicely while your sharing your pretty smile with all. Smiles Gloria
I have already watered all plants in the back as they were completely wilted. I was almost wilted by the time I finished. At 8:30, we are 84° feels like 88° and Hubby is weedeating.
As I walked outside at 6:30 am, I saw a hummingbird. It has been too hot to sit on the patio to watch for them but their feeders are fresh and full. The Turks Cap, dark purple Salvia and other plants are blooming and just waiting for them too.
We are praying for rain Sunday night and Monday along with some cooler temperatures. The area is already 7" below "normal" (do we know normal anymore) for this year and adding an additional 3" below from last year. Fires have just started breaking out again.
But for now the birdbaths are all full of water for the butterflies, birds, and bugs. And the plants, like the milkweed above, are all watered. Wendy, I hope you and Rich have a beautiful day and weekend.
I know I can't top my story from yesterday, so I will just ask if you have something wonderful to share. My blessing today is my Hubby. He dusted and vacuumed... while
I ran a few errands this morning. I am trying to get caught up since I will be working on Friday and Monday. And Hubby will pick up something for lunch tomorrow and eat at the office with me. So it will probably be over the weekend when I will catch up with you.
Hello there my friend. How are you doing? I've gotten all my housework done except for vacumming which I will get done soon. Its a cloudy day here with a chance of rain later. I sure hope we get some as its been hot and dry here. Just wanting to let you know that I won't be on here tomorrow thru the weekend as we will be out of town. I have a doctors appointment out of town. So I will be back on here on Monday. Have a nice rest of your week and take care. Hugs, Cheryl
By now, most of you really know me. I am so very BLESSED and I love sharing SMILES. So I have a story for you. Yesterday, we went to Valvoline to get the car inspected because we enjoy being able to stay in the car while they do it and /or while they change the oil. Well, after 40 minutes of waiting, we pulled in and they said their computer or machine for inspections was down.
We didn't get flustered as we really have more time than we do money! We just smiled and told them not to worry, we have until the end of the month. So we called a local, very trustworthy place we used to use a lot and they could do the inspection in about 20 minutes. It takes almost that long to get halfway through Rockwall especially with the traffic. We went inside to sit when they took our car. We began talking to a young man who came in behind us about his Dodge SRT. We love fast cars!!! Hubby asked if it was around 800 horsepower (most cars are 200-250, Kelly's vet is around 600) and he said no... it is 1000 horsepower !!! So we teased him about the cost of gas to drive it now. He told us that the best thing he ever did was to buy his mom a house in Fate. Then he looked at me and told us that he had recently given his life to Christ. What a blessed conversation we had with him. His name is Rashard Higgins and he was a Wide Receiver for the Cleveland Browns for about 5 years and now he is with the Carolina Panthers. As I was writing a "Be Uniquely You" note card to mail to him, I looked down at my Christian T-Shirt (I have about 30 to choose from that I wear daily), I realized why he shared his love for God. What a blessing it is to share a smile, start up a conversation, and send a card to others and also of the blessing I received in return. Now I know why God delayed our inspection 40 minutes and had us go to a different location!
Another miserable hot day here with 100* feeling like 108*, I said when winter was here I wan't going to gripe about the summer heat. I can deal with the heat better than the cold, but this is worse than usual for us. So I'll be in the house under the AC and my iced tea.
I hope you've had a good day and have a good night. Sorry for the late comment, it's been a busy and HOT day here! I've sent this picture out before, it's a picture of my garden tub in my bathroom. I love to light the candles, add the calgon and just soak. That's where I was earlier and now I feel a lot better! lol
Good afternoon my friend. Its been a busy day here. Just now getting my laundry done. I got home just a little bit ago from going to see my son and his girlfriend, went out to eat with them and then went to Walmart. I need a nap but I don't think I'm going to have time for one. I hope you are having a good day and it isn't to hot for you. Take care my friend, hugs, Cheryl
It feels like summer has been here since late May and here it is the first day! A few years ago in 2011 we had 71 days of 100° weather in the DFW area. But in 1980 they had 42 consecutive 100° days. I hope we don't break either of those records. I am getting too old for this stuff.
I am thinking about, and trying to motivate myself to run errands. I need my car inspected and registration sticker before the month is done. And of course, it is Taco Salad Tuesday for us at Rosa's. Besides, I really need to get out and share a smile with others. Hope you will do the same.
Even though it is a Federal Holiday, it is the start of another week and for us ten days of over 100° with as high as 105°coming our way.
I finally got nails put on as I guess I was letting them rest! I decided on my favorite color as I will change them again before the 4th of July.
We ate BBQ with the kids and lots of wonderful cold salads, (pea salad, spiral pasta salad, potato salad) and spent time with the girls. Michelle showed me her garden, SunFlower, cucumber, watermelon, lettuce, and spinach... and her growing chickens too.
Then last night, when I went out to check out the sunset to take a picture, I spotted our Jack Rabbit. I got four videos over 30 seconds of each of him in our carport area. I hope your Father's Day Sunday was a blessed one too! Enjoy this last day of Spring.
So proud of the Father my son is to his girls and of my DIL for being an awesome Mom to them too. Hope each of you will have a Blessed day today and Sunday.
Have fun because you never know what tomorrow will bring. George, Kyle Kid, has 5-6 months. He has an awesome outlook and takes each day as it comes. He loves Jesus and is looking forward to seeing Judy, his wife for over 60 years, who passed away last September again soon.
