Hello Pal, what have you been up to? We've had rain off and on all week but cooler temps. My yard is starting to look Rain-foresty again. My fig tree is loaded with figs but its so tall I can't reach most of the figs. The squirrels and birds have been working it over though. Yesterday was busy with the girls. I kept them and we visited my friend who lives nearby. We made her some fridge magnets and a beaded bracelet with her name on it. She makes crafts too and had made me a beachy looking gift that can be a pencil holder or tooth brush holder I guess. The girls helped me bathe and groom the dogs and was glad to get that done for another week. I would not bathe them so often probably but they sleep with me! lol. Did you do any shopping on Prime Days? I ordered an Echo Show, an Alexa device that was on sale. We'll see how I like it. If not I will gift it to one of the girls for birthday or Christmas. Hope to hear from you soon. Happy Thursday and lotsa hugs from steamy FL, Beth
After 2 cups of coffee and pumpkin bread, I have read comments and emails. We are 92° at 10:15 am. I have used nose spray and essential oils because I can't breathe. I have used creams, gels, and sprays on my 6 itching mosquito bites. I am trying to get energized for the day.
That is when I realize that it is Wednesday. What? The plants in the front yard have been watered by Hubby and the chickens have been checked on already. We get 5 eggs a day; have 10 and should have 5 more later today. There is NOTHING as good as fresh eggs.
As I look at your name, I pray that you will have a blessed day full of beautiful colors! Please share your smile with others as you never know who needs it the most! You might just add some sparkle to their day.
We got some much needed rain early this morning. It wasn't alot but it was rain. Its just in the 80s here now but kind of stuffy. I hope you are enjoying your afternoon my friend. Take care, Hugs, Cheryl
Good Afternoon! We are going to start with beautiful colors and a beautiful scene. Our day started just after 3am with dogs shrill barking. So I get up to see what they are after and immediately come back in to get Rbt up. They had a large possum about the size of Reba. Back to sleep after that was taken care of by Hubby. Then about 8am he goes next door to repair the hose with a splicer so we can still give the chickens water.Around 10am it was time for him to brush the dogs when he discovered Carly had a BIG rat. He gets that away from her and the dogs are still after something... 5 or 6 baby rats. Carly and Reba are a deadly team. J Lo is the cheerleader and Kitty can't hear anymore but she can sure smell danger.
J Lo, Carly Simon, Miss Kitty Wells, & Reba McEntire. The reason we are babysitting the chickens is because our neighbors are in East Texas at Jellystone Park on vacation. Today Olivia Jade is one year old. Isn't she adorable! So they are all on vacation for a few days enjoying the summer time fishing, especially big brother Bennett.
I hope you are enjoying your summer and find time for a vacation with family and friends.
It's a nice day here with the temps slowy going up with rain this afternoon/evening. We've been so dry so it will be nice to get the rain. I hope your day is going well so far and you have a good rest of the day!
Good afternoon my friend. How is your day going? Mine is going good other than the heat. Just going to stay inside where its nice and cool.Its going to be a hot week here with no rain in site. My tomato and cucmber plants are doing good. They have lots of blooms on them. Hopefully soon we will have some tomatoes and cucmbers. Well take care my friend and stay cool.Hugs,Cheryl
Hello Wendy, sounds like you had a busy weekend and fun with your friends. On Friday I went shopping with the girls and we had a lunch at a new place. Sat. we got a little rain but most of it came yesterday, right after hubby finished the lawn. I cut up and fried some of the eggplant a friend had given me yesterday. I used the Air fryer. Meh, it was okay but nothing special. It just doesn't have much taste to me and hubby doesn't want me to season anything beyond salting it because of it causing him heartburn. Trying to plan a day trip to the Beach soon but right now there's a big gob of moisture out there in the Gulf just kinda sitting there. Hopng it doesn't develop into a storm that will head this way. All the cloud cover has our temps much more tolerable but the icky stickies are back...awful humidity. have a good new week! huggies, Beth
Hope you had a wonderful weekend as it is the start of another new week. Do you have any plans?
If you started with a great breakfast you are on the right track. I am still drinking coffee. Hubby is watering plants and crispy grass in the front.
My girls are in the Mexico City area for a couple of weeks visiting their other Grandma. Yesterday they went to a bookstore and bought some books.
Have you seen a bookstore like this? It has an upstairs too. What a big, beautiful place with tons of books! I guess I just don't get out to shop enough anymore.
And they have already been to Six Flags Mexico with their friends. So glad they are having a wonderful summer vacation. I hope you are enjoying your summer too.
Sounds like you are having a fun time, Wendy. So nice for you. Been a quiet w/e for us. Did pop out yesterday for a short while to run some errands. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
The rain has helped so much lowering the humidity and it actually feels like a normal summer now. I hope you've had a good weekend so far and have a great week ahead!
We had a good rain over night and this morning, what a difference it made with the temps. Now we're in the low 90's with less humidity. I hope you have a good day and a great weekend!
Hugs
