Weekend isn't over for everyone yet. Some people have Monday off for Columbus Day and in Canada Thanksgiving Day. So I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday and Monday. We are expecting storms to move into Texas late Sunday evening.
Now look closely. Can you spot J Lo blending in? She is laying on the dog mat, sneaking up on the dog food. What joy all of our dogs bring us!
So are you getting ready for Halloween? Do you have a costume or one for your kids or pet? Do you really think our pets hate us when we dress them up?
I do know when they love us... when it is snack time. Do your dogs get table scraps or just dog treats and dental chews? Our dogs get a lot of treats and chews and every now and then they might get something that I am eating.
I know when we are gone they eat very little. But when we get home the bowl seems to empty right away. Lots of times they go to the bowl (it is always down) when we are eating at the table.
Guess I had better go find something for us to eat and make sure they have food too. Blessings & Hugs are coming your way.
Oh my, is there a more true statement? Well, not that I know of anyway. OH! OH! Wait... I might have found one...
It is already 2:30 and I have been trying to get here since I finished watering the backyard early this morning. Hubby got the front watered.
I get in the computer room and just get lost in, well, I'm not sure what. OK! I might have taken 50 pictures this morning of plants in our yard. Then uploaded them to the computer and into an album. I will post in Bulletins for those who didn't get the email from me. And I might have also airdropped 70 more from a friend and put them on my iPad and loaded them into a Google album. So where does your day go?
And I haven't even had breakfast or lunch yet! What are you fixing today? Hubby gave up and had a sandwich. If I wait long enough he might end up with cereal for dinner.
Good day my friend. Well we made the week and want to wish you a fabulously great weekend. Terrific weather here. Sure enjoyed my trip to Indiana to see family, the house I grew up in and the old neighborhood although a lot of the area has been torn down and new homes built. Forgot how many thousands of acres of corn and soybeans are planted. Saw lots of old covered bridges. Enjoy your weekend and take care........George
Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh what a beautiful day! I got a beautiful feelin' Everything'g going our way! Now that you have a song in your head all day, I am positive that everything is going our way.
Especially since I've had two cups of coffee earlier and just now two Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Taquitos from WhatABurger! So bring on the day. I can handle it.
Even upside down! How about you? Is everything going your way? I hope it smooth sailing for you as this week flies by!
Just have fun, go with the flow, share your smile with everyone you encounter. I love all the Halloween and Fall pages.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. TouchedPainter, I pray YOU have a TREMENDOUSLY TASTY TUESDAY, and are having a TRANSFORMATIONAL WEEK, my friend...
We got one nice downpour shower on Saturday that gave up 1/2" of rain and filled my 4 buckets that were empty. So now I have water to pour on the plants under eaves that don't get a drink when it rains.
We had a great weekend but don't know what we actually did other than watch college football all day Saturday and NFL all day Sunday after our three Church sermons online. As you can see I have already been outside and my strawberries are still producing. I already potted 5 new plants that someone shared with me.
HELP ME!
You can tell what Hubby is doing. He is on the last of four dogs now. For the most part, they are not excited about bath time but do tolerate it.
So I guess I will pay a few bills and see what the rest of the day holds for us. It is national Taco day, but we will probably wait until tomorrow.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. TouchedPainter, I pray YOU have a SUPERBLY SENSATIONAL SATURDAY, and are having a STUPENDOUS WEEKEND, my friend...
Happy weekend and new month to you. Going back home today after spending a week in Indiana visiting family ,seeing the old neighborhood and house I grew up in, and making a tour of the old covered bridges. Had forgotten how many thousands of acres of corn and soy beans were grown.here. Saw and did lots of things that brought back many memories. Have a terrific week....George
What difference does the change of a month make? Sometimes none at all; then we have from September 30 to October 1. Oh my, the leaves start falling!
But why can't they all fall in a nice neat pile instead of all over the yard. And about the time you get them raked up, the wind comes along and you get to start all over. Or after you get them bagged, the tree decides to drop another bunch of leaves.
Doesn't Snoopy make it look easy! Well, life may not be that easy but it sure can be fun. I am praying today, this 1st day of the wonderful month of October, that your Friday, your weekend, and your month of October will be fun and exciting!
We just finished the last of the Chicken and Dumplings. And yes, it was delicious. So now it is time for a Peppermint Pattie!
We have been to the Glaucoma doctor and to the Optical store to pay for Hubby's glasses. We did stop and buy a lottery ticket. Hubby always buys one for him and one for me. If there is a winning ticket, it is his ticket not mine.
We still haven't had a drop of rain but they keep promising us it is coming tomorrow. This is the third day in a row they have said tomorrow.
It is almost time to go check on the chickens, give them fresh water, throw them some mealworms and collect eggs.
Have you ever had fresh "from the hen" eggs? Oh my gosh! They just have such a wonderful flavor. So now I'm off to water the plants and watch for hummingbirds.
Just collected eggs after our Rosa's Tacos meal. Earlier this morning the orchids got their cube of ice for the week. Hummingbirds got fresh food in the feeder.
Halloween nails got put on. Showered & washed hair (should have colored it). Filled up car with gas. Lottery tickets bought. A load of clothes got washed.
So now it is time to chill and read my Kindle app because it is very near 100° and too hot to sit even on the covered patio today. Wednesday Hubby has an appointment with a vision eye doctor and Thursday he has an appointment with a glaucoma eye doctor (hence car filled with gas). Now, orange you glad I'm done.
Guess what we are doing this week... collecting eggs! We are getting 6 fresh eggs a day. Our friends came over yesterday for a visit and I gave them all the eggs we had, which was between 2 and 3 dozen (all fresh).
So today, we are patiently waiting for the six hens to take turns on the nest. There are several nests in the coop but they all lay their eggs in one nest. So when you open the top, all six, 3 white (Leghorns) and 3 brown (Rhode Island Reds) are all right there together.
Isn't that strange? Soon they will be able to hatch chickens because they have one rooster added to the mix now. They lost two young chickens (out of three) they had in a different pen. So they traded the last young one for a rooster because the older hens would pick and peck on the younger one.
Guess I had better go figure out what to do for our meal of the day. Bills are already paid, grass has been mowed, and I am getting hungry. So share your smile and know that I am sending Blessings and Hugs your way everyday.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. TouchedPainter, I pray YOU have a STUNNINGLY SPLENDID SUNDAY, and have had a SENSATIONAL WEEKEND, my friend...
Kisses are the best way to wake up. Woo Hoo! We made it to the weekend. College Football day is my favorite day.
I sure hope you are getting out and having fun this weekend. Our temperatures may reach 90° again today, but it is so wonderful early in the mornings to be in the upper 50's.
Hubby is outside washing the Orange Tahoe. I think I will take the dogs for a walk. Now, if you believe that about me, I do have some Ocean Front property in Arizona for you.
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me today. Don't forget to share that beautiful smile of yours with everyone you see.
A happy weekend to you to enjoy. Flying to Indiana this morning to spend a week with family . My son got the tickets for him and me so really looking forward to seeing everyone again. Got the wife's remains back yesterday so she's back home with me.
I thought I would start today with words of wisdom or a wisecrack, however you look at it. Now that we are off to a great start for Thursday, where did the week go?
Yesterday, we made it to Costco, Wednesday enchiladas lunch, post office, and Walmart for over $200 of WHAT? I don't know. Got a load of laundry done, dishwasher run, and Chicken & Biscuit Dumplings made (and some eaten).
Take a deep breath because that is a FULL day for me. Hubby has already watered the front again today. Today is probably the last day for these beautiful cool temperatures for us for a while, but it has been two wonderful days.
Now I am off to finish reading comments and replies. Then if I don't get a shower, that giraffe might just fall over in a dead faint. Glad smell-a-vision isn't real or you might just pass out too! Thanks just for being my friend and telling me all about your day too.
GOOD MORNING, LOVE, HUGS & BLESSINGS, Ms. TouchedPainter, I pray YOU have a TRANSFORMINGLY THIRSTY THURSDAY, and have had a TREMENDOUS WEEK, my friend...
Sending my best wishes on First Day of Autumn, as we all get ready for this amazing season when leaves turn in their most beautiful colours in their last days...mk
A happy Wednesday to you and have a great day. Nice to have cooler temps to start the day and see the full moon. Got my flu shot Saturday and Covid booster shot yesterday. Enjoy the day....George
Amazing how Monday just shows up on a regular basis. I have successfully ignored the morning. Well, I have made some calls and paid some bills and looked at several websites (shopping, Not shopping) and now it is afternoon.
Hubby got the front watered this morning. We were about 100° yesterday and will be again today... but tomorrow our high will be 82° with lows in the mid 50's. Yippee Yahoo.
Even though we have almost no chance of rain, we will keep watering and say, "Thank You Lord for the blessings of cooler temperatures." I know the hummingbirds are migrating through South Texas. My friends there sent videos of 10 or more hummers at their feeder at one time. It was so hot here that I just took a video of my hummingbird sitting near and protecting the feeders.
So guess I had better go find something for lunch. Something else that is amazing is how often my tummy growls to indicate that it is time to eat again... every day.
Thursday I was busy cleaning out all the water features for the birds and giving the hummingbirds new food. We are still quite warm during the day (start day in low 70's) and plants are still needing water every other day.
Hopefully we say goodbye to Summer Fairy and hello to cooler temperatures during the day and early morning too. Let's try it, Hello Fall Fairy!
Right now, the only leaves falling are because the trees need a good soaking of rain. But at 15% chance next week, that isn't too promising. Then came..
As soon as I told Hubby that I needed a shower, my phone rang and it was Tisha. She was running late dropping off her 1st grader and told him to hurry. He tripped over the curb and did a faceplant.
He did not want to go to school. Besides, he would definitely have trouble seeing.
As you can tell by his glasses. They got new glasses ordered and she kept putting ointment on his cheek. By the end of the day I could hear him laughing at something on the iPad. When I got home, Bennett and his family came to the backyard for a visit.
So now here I am wishing you a blessed weekend as I am heading off to watch more football after Thursday night & Friday nights exciting games.
OK... so it isn't the football fairy... close though, right?
Happy weekend hugs to you and wishing you and yours well. My son is coming in today to spend some time and watch college football. I don't know what I would have done without him and my daughter in law with all of the help they've been giving me. They want me to come and live with them when I feel the time is right because I really don't need this big house any longer. May you have a terrific weekend and new week........George
