Evening Cheryl. Didn't do alot today but did go out to dinner with his brother and wife - we ate Italian - i had stuffed shells and Rich ate ravioli. I took one of my two shells home with me. his brother and wife had steak sandwiches. We went tothe Moose last nite for butter beans and cornbread, but they weren't really that good, as they were too soupy and not many beans and ham in them. And several people complained as we did. She had knee replacement today so I doubt she'll be there tomorrow nite and if they can't find anyone to cook tomorrow nite (the regular woman will be off) then no one eats there. We'll go to the VFW and eat - there menu is pretty good. Enjoy the nite and have a good Friday. Hugs, Wendy
Yep, August is gone but not summer - not yet. Your page is pretty Cheryl. We had the remnents of the storm blow thru here last nite but it wasn't as bad as the weather folks predicted - not in our area anyway. But it sure cooled down quite a bit. I wore jeans to go out to eat with Richiie's brother and his wife and I'm glad I did. We stoped at the CPOA club and it was a bit chilly in there. Have a peaceful nite. Hugs, Wendy
Thursday always produces a smile because the weekend is in sight. This is the last day of August. Are you ready for a new month? I will be working tomorrow to start September off right.
We have survived the last six weeks of heat and we hope to say goodbye to it along with the month of August.
We are ready to welcome a new month, a new season and new colors into our lives.
I am ready for flowers to be blooming again but first we need rain and lots of it.
The Blue Super Moon has been beautiful the last 3 nights and I do love taking pictures of it.
I am ready and waiting with my camera phone charged. Miracles happen after a good thunder and lightning show with lots of rain.
Wednesday is the new Friday; oh wait, that is supposed to be Thursday is the new Friday. I am grateful for each day that comes our way.
I have had such fun with the hummingbirds lately. Because of the heat, the lack of rain and flowers not blooming a lot, they are protecting the feeders.
They have really been showing off a lot and their colors are bright in the sunshine. Have you ever touched a hummingbird?
I have a tall plant on the patio about 3' from the feeders and they have begun to sit there to protect the feeder from other hummingbirds.
One afternoon when I went out to check to see how much food was in the feeder, a hummingbird zoomed in to sit on the plant and was about 15" from me. In the sunshine his throat was a bright yellow!
He looked at me eye to eye and when he realized I was standing there, you should have seen how fast he flew away. But looking at him so close, his throat was the most beautiful red. It is amazing all the colors that their throat will turn in different light. What a blessing to be so close even without a phone camera.
Wanted to get some comments out before this but I didn't seem to find time I ran the vacuum and cleaned out a roaster chicken - that's the worst and longest part We ate a little before 7 which isn't too bad. We like to eat later in the summer cause it stays lighter later. It's dark now by 8:30 - what ever happened? It used to stay light till 9ish when I was young and n0 it wasn't in the diasour times! Have a good nite Cheryl. Hugs, Wendy
We have a bit cooler temperatures this beautiful Tuesday. But we are still waiting for the rain. I have already showered and watched hummingbirds this morning,
Today we are doing a little rain dance with our morning coffee.
It is a beautiful day on the horizon and for a few days to come then we will be back to very hot!
I am sharing thank you kisses with those that were praying for Texas for cooler weather.
Now sharing our Blessings with you as the month of August is coming to an end for this year.
Evening Cheryl - it was pleasant here too - 85 and they said the humidity was high - 93, but it didn't feel like it to me. Of course I don't have any problems breathing but didn't think Ric did either. But he didn't go out till evening. Hung around the house and cleaned out the fridge and made dinner. Have a good nite
Here we are again, Monday. What shall we do this week? Water the yard and the plants again every day in front one day and in back the next day.
I can see out the window two of the hummingbird feeders. I see hummingbirds drinking and chasing each other around. Oh maybe I will go sit and watch them this morning.
But the sun is already shining too bright and the heat is already too hot to sit for very long even on the patio. Where is that North wind to cool us off?
So the next best thing is to find a dark and quiet spot to read a good book.
I think a steaming cup of coffee would be the best way to start this Monday off right.
Then find a steamy good book to read and the week is off on the right foot.
And hope the yard can make it one more day. I'll just give thanks for the beautiful sky above it.
A new week is beginning. I wonder where this last week of August will take us.
Let's start this day with coffee and breakfast. Why does everything taste better on a Sunday?
Doesn't that make your mouth water? I love peanut butter and jelly on toast.
I had such delicious strawberries this past spring. My plants look like they won't ever come back after this summer's high temperatures.
I just got this in an email, can you believe that we used more AC last year? Well, we did turn the thermostat warmer a couple of degrees. However, my water bill that just came was triple or more this year than last year.
However, after the summer we have had, we will be grateful for the lower temperatures and rain when it comes.
Hi there. I'm getting excited about the coming cool air that will be here this weekend. I'm so tired of the heat. We don't run out air conditioner at night, just the fans, so it can be warm in the bedroom at night even though we have the back door open so the air can come through the fan. Cool nights are a favorite of mine. How is the weather where you live? Well take care my friend and enjoy your afternoon. Hugs, Cheryl
I don't usually reply so don't really know what I'm doing - hope this comes through for you. I have central air conditioning but prefer fresh air so keep all my windows open all night & it stays pretty decent for temp all day. Our nights are finally cooler so fall is just aroung the corner. Bye for now, Loads of Love, Donna
I'll say happy Sunday Cheryl as it's after midnite Hope you are well and have had a good Saturday. Been quiet here - wanted to go shopping but didn't get there today - maybe tomorrow. It's been 92 for days but cooler weather is on the way as next week will be in the 80's all week. Hope it gets cooler your way too. Our friends are campig so we won't be playing dominoes tomorrow but that's ok with us as it gives us an entire weekend to oursellves. Have a good Sunday. Hugs, Wendy
Wow, I don't know if I could live with the kinda heat you have with no central air, Cheryl. I did it when I was growing up but not when I was an adult . I think you can stand the heat when younger but not older, but then I guess it depends on the person. I just know I don't think I could do it now. We spent 5 hours today going to Rich's doctors - we were 20 min late and had to wait an hour before they took us. Mainly because we couldn't find the place cause he didn't use the GPS - it's not like we haven't been there before but he thought he knew how to get there. We stopped at this fabulous place to eat on the way home - good prices, great food and we took half home with us. Was only home about 1 1/2 hrs before we went to the Moose and only stay till 9:30 as no one was there. One set of friends so after they left, so did we. Hope you had a great day despite the heat. It was hot here too - heat index 100. Have a good Saturday Cheryl. Hugs, Wendy
Why do Fridays feel so different? Just knowing that the weekend is upon us makes us go crazy.
You might be surprised to know how close that is to the truth. Or you might not be surprised.
So what are you doing today or this weekend that makes you Happy??? We have been watching Pre-Season Football and are anxiously awaiting College Football.
I hope you will be silly & happy and have some fun. Maybe you could call a friend and check on them. Tell them a story from the past and laugh out loud together. After all...
