Let us start this day anew and not go back to yesterday and the list.  

Tuesday is for moving forward.  I am asking Jesus to lead the way for me to follow.    

That means I can't sit in my chair in front of this computer all day which is one of my favorite things to do.  

It also means I have to do something with this hair that probably needs washing in the shower.  

My only hope might be if everyone looks into my heart and not what my hair looks like today.  I will have it looking better before work in a couple of days.  Do you have a hat I can borrow?  

Hope your Sunday was peaceful~Have a great new week~Enjoying this Fall season.....Hugs Lorri

Good Wednesday Morning!  May I pour you a cup of coffee?  

This morning we can color.  It is so peaceful and relaxing to me.  Do you ever color?  

It is satisfying to see the end results.  Now you know I love Giraffes!  

I love animals and the color orange and all shades of it.  

I guess by now you know I love flowers too.  So I am sharing them with you.  

wishing you a lovely sunday

Hope you have a peaceful Sunday~ Hugs~Lorri

happy friday

We made it to Friday once again.  Rain has been here and gone.  But it is supposed to come back again.  Now what?  

On Wednesday, we spent over 4 hours moving plants.  They all got a good drink of water and are now ready for the plastic to go over them.  We are expecting 3 nights of temperatures in the 30's.  

A picture from years past of the plastic pulled back in winter so they can get sunshine.  WE have lots of plants, ok I do, in pots scattered around the front and backyard; lots of hanging baskets everywhere in the back.  

This is what it looks like, again from years past, on a cold winter night.  Lights are on and the heater is going.  

All the plants in tubs, big plastic tubs, got moved to the front.  They will go in the garage when temperatures drop with a heater turned on.  

Just in case you were wondering... yes, I have plants inside too.  This is the only window in the house that does NOT have a solar screen so the plants can get light.  I have a plant or two in about 3 other locations inside the house.  

Another day with chances of rain.  

This was my view a few days ago.  

Fall is the time for Chrysanthemums to bloom.  Isn't it amazing how different times of the year different plants show their colors.  

This Tuesday morning we are still waiting for rain.  It is west of us!  Fort Worth got a nice rain yesterday evening!  

Me, waiting for rain to get here.  Cooler temperatures coming... a high of 55 for Halloween is cold!  Not waiting for that!  Just trying to be thankful for every minute of every day.

Monday is here and our weather is changing.  I am enjoying the change but...  

I miss my hummingbirds so very much.  I love spending hours on tha patio watching them.  

I am thankful for all the many days they are at my feeders.  I know they went somewhere warm and they will be back.  

Is it time for them to come back yet?  I will just wait for them right here.  

Is there anything you are waiting for as this new week begins?  

Grace!  The favor of God!!  What a beautiful Sunday!  May you enjoy this day with family and friends.  

We are all here to celebrate this day with you.  Be all you can be and do all you can do.  

Share your smile and show your love every day.  That is what this life is all about.  

Let your Light shine wherever you go.  It makes people wonder about you and what in the world makes you so happy!  

Dare to be different!  Okapi is in the giraffe family!  I am part of God's family!  

The weekend is here and I want to wish you a very Blessed Caturday!  

Everybody has their own view!  However, this is NOT one of my favorites.  If you have never had this view or fallen, count your blessings twice!  

What are you looking at?  Some of us always land on our feet.  

It is the weekend after all so let us all go to the beach and just CHILL.  Because we are in the 90's in Texas.  

Time to celebrate and be thankful for all of our Blessings!  I am still in t-shirt & shorts, just the way I like it.  

Little things make Fridays such a favorite day of the week.  

Our attitude is a BIG part of that Friday feeling!  Today we just have to be Happy and FLY like the Fall Leaves!  

Put on your best red dress and go out dancing tonight!  Just twirl around, feel good and share your love with a smile.  

We made it through another week and Fall is here.  There is so much to be Thankful for and let the weekend begin.  

Here we are on Thursday waiting for Friday and the weekend.  Do you have plans?  

I went out early and picked a Dandelion bouquet to share with you. Every part of the dandelion plant is a healthy herb.  

Then I harvested some lavender.  Now it is time for some coffee and to sit and read my book for a while.  

Maybe I will go for a bike ride when the temperature warms up a little.  

One of my favorite spots is down by the stream this time of year to watch the leaves in the wind and just listen to the water drift by.  Hope you have a fun day planned too.  

We are in the middle of the week and the temperatures are inching their way closer to the 80's.  

Sometimes Wednesday is just a catch up day.  Catch up on sleep as well at laundry and other chores.  

Some weeks are just rough going and you need the seas to calm down.  My week like that was last week.  

I hope I learned a lesson from it and will remain calmer the next time some things don't go exactly like I think they should.  

After all, God is always on my side and working in my best interest as well as teaching me a lesson along the way.  

Tuesday is the day!  What are your plans?  We still have cooler temperatures and so...  

I thought I would drop by for a visit.  Do you have sunshine and beautiful weather?  

Maybe we can take a walk.  We can listen for the chatter of the birds and possibly catch sight of some Cardinals.  

I would love to see some of your beautiful flowers and even pick some to take home with me.  

We could complete the day walking along the beach just before the sun sets.  That would be a perfect ending.  Thanks for letting me drop in!  

I am trying to smile this Monday morning but it is still dark.  Just another reason I like summer... long days of SUNSHINE!

I do not like total darkness.  I have night lights in every room.  However, I know that Heaven's light is shining in my heart and I hope you can see it.  

Even at night when I go out to take pictures, the moon and stars (and my backyard solar lights) light up the area.  

I try to always be a light and I hope you light up when you are around others too.  

This week let us all be a lighthouse for those that are in darkness or in a dark place and need some light.  

Blessings on this Sunday and every day.  Laughter is the best medicine!  On that we can all agree.  

Love is what life is all about and it is healing along with time!  Every day show your love for everyone you meet.  

Some days it takes extra hope & strength with a smile on your face to show the love in your heart.  

Always look for the good with Love, Laughter, Hope, Strength, Smiles and whatever it takes.  Sundays are for starting the week off practicing all of these.  

Just look at that smile on my face.  I may not be moving fast but I am sharing Sunday Blessings with you today and always.  

My gosh!  Where did the week go?  I had to look and see what day it was, FRIDAY?!  Friday the 13th is my lucky day!  

I think I need Chocolate and a lot of it to go with my coffee today!  It has been quite a week!  

Would you get me some ice to go with my scotch?  I only wish, with weeks like this one, that I would still drink!  

So I will just have Faith in the lessons that God has taught me this week and say, Thank You Lord!  Now, let's get ready for the weekend!  

Thursday was supposed to be a warm, near 90°, day for us but because of all the clouds yesterday and today, we will only be about 81°.  However the promises of an even cooler weekend are in sight.  

What is your story?  I hope you are enjoying your story and that you are right where you want to be in it.  

Your happy life should include love and showing lots of love toward lots of different people.  

So for today, let's just sit back and enjoy the view and my favorite colors make this view perfect.  

Smile!  It is hump day, middle of the week, Wednesday!  I changed my router and what fun!  I am back up and running after almost 24 hours.  

Is your battery low and in need of being charged?  Today is the perfect day to smile and make others wonder what you are thinking!  Do you know how many things have to be reset because of no internet and a new router?  

What are you looking at?  Besides, that is a good way to get people to talk to you and share "love" with them!    

We love our pets!  We love the Fall season!  We love each other!  Share your smile and love everyday!  I am still smiling!
