Caturday is here! The weekend has begun, well, for those who get up early anyway. As a baby, my son got his days and nights mixed up and they are still that way!
I have a special delivery for you from FedEx. I can tell you are "chancing" one eye to see what it is!
Do you know how good pumpkins are? If your dog has an upset stomach give them canned pumpkins. I always keep a can or two on hand.
Did you know that cows, deer, chickens, ducks, etc. all love eating pumpkins?
Today is takey-outey day for our main meal... BBQ sammies. Made vinegar slaw this morning to top it off. I love days I don't see much of the kitchen:) Have a great Thursday, dear Gayle!
Oh my list is so long that I don't even know where to start. Our Medicare Specialist went over the new plans for next year and we are saving $$$.
It started raining last night about 9:15 pm and rained on and off until after 5 am this morning. Yes, we are ever so THANKFUL. The big cracks in the yard are now very small and shallow. What a Blessing!
I am always thankful for coffee. I love the smell of it much more than I do drinking it. However, I love drinking it too!
There is nothing like love jumping on you when you walk in the door. I am not sure we will ever get another pet or dog but at the same time, I can't imagine life without one.
I am so blessed by all the friends that I have and have had some of them 40-50 years or more. New and long time friends mean the world to me!
The journey hasn't always been smooth but I am so grateful for the road we are on now and where He has led us. Glad you are part of it too!
Glad Judy came by. I agree with you, we need a clean sweep in congress. The names being thrown out there for a new speaker do nothing for me at all. Ugh! Hit 82 and may get close to 80 today then it's chilly willy for the weekend and beyond.
Enjoy the gifts of this new month... pumpkin patches, hayrides, festivals, apple cider, scarecrows, roasted marshmallows, jack-o-lanterns, colorful dresses on trees, country drives, trick-or-treaters, sweaters, plaid blankets, ... on and on. Enjoy your October dear Gayle! *hugs* -di
Caturday Greetings! Would you like a cup of coffee? Come on over and I'll introduce you to some of my friends.
Several friends are already here. Today we are talking about flowers! We would love for you to join us.
We already have a spot for you at the table. Do you know the name of these flowers? No one that is already here seems to know.
If it gets too windy or cold or begins to rain, we can always move inside for a while.
And please, don't worry about being shy or the "odd" one in the group. We have several like that. We just like to gather to share things that put a smile on each other's face!
Thursday is a day for Butterflies! The other day, I had so many different butterflies in the yard. I think they were looking for water as well as nectar.
Some butterflies seem to add color wherever they go and some are the color!
Have you seen butterflies that are a pale color? I have some that are yellow but you can almost see through them. They are so pale.
I think that this butterfly would just disappear if it landed on a green plant, don't you?!
I love watching the butterflies, but I have very few videos of them. Have you ever tried to video a butterfly up close? Mine are so quick and cover the whole back yard in a matter of seconds. To keep them in view, I have to zoom out to most of the yard and then you can't even tell what color they are!
Will tend to some chores today, but not too many... must always have something waiting 'til tomorrow:) Have a day of smiles while doing 'whatever'. *hugs*
Do you play a musical instrument? I don't and I can't carry a tune either. I sure do enjoy listening to music though.
Some people are so creative! This would be a cute game table to play cards on, to me!
I do love to read with soft soothing music in the background. Lately, every time I think about reading, I start yawning. Maybe because I have been staying up too late at night.
The later it gets and the closer my supposedly bedtime approaches, it always seems that I get a second wind. Or someone will call and I am wide awake. Tonight will be my "catch up" on sleep night, unless I can find a good movie.
How about we sit on this bench and dream Tuesday away? No need to do chores today. Just visit and enjoy the view!
Of course we can make the best of this day and choose to do that every day. Do I get frustrated? Sure! Do I have a bad day? Sure! But not for very long.
And I have lots of "bad hair" days! But on those days, I just don't look in the mirror.
So if you have a bad day, find something or someone who will put a smile on your face. Or go out and do something you really like to do that is fun.
After all, a dog, a cat, an animal, a friend, etc. can all turn your day around and make you smile. Then go share that smile with others and make their day bright too.
Here we go again! Another week but the last one in September! Where did this month go? Zip! Poof! Gone!
I really love my page. I guess you know I love giraffes. Well there is something else I like a lot too.
The Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival was this weekend. Look at that beautiful Texas Balloon!
And did you know that HEB is going to build a grocery store about 4 miles from our house? It will open in Spring of 2025.
Have you ever been to a Hot Air Balloon launch? We used to go when we first moved here. It is always an on and off launch because we usually have too much wind for them to launch. I love the nighttime when the Balloon "glow"!
