Are you cooking out this weekend? Are you celebrating today or tomorrow? Are you kids coming to see you?
I hope you have beautiful weather. Maybe you will be out on the water. sailing!
Do you have a cabin on a lake somewhere that you are going for the weekend?
Are you going camping with the family or just a Father/Son get away? I hope it isn't too dry to build a fire for Coffee and maybe a cookout.
Maybe you will see a Kiskadee or some other rare bird as you are walking through the woods.
I hope the dog gets to go too because after all, he is man's best friend. A father, a child, and a dog together would be a perfect weekend with BBQ of course.
Whatever you do, make wonderful memories to share for a lifetime!
Hubby didn't make it to the grocery store but I did. It only took me 2 hours inside the store. At least he helped put things away. I was exhausted!
Have you ever seen such a beautiful Rose??? Most of my roses are yellow and orange, but this one is just magnificent!
There is beauty all around the world. Look at that sunrise on the beach. Can you feel the sand between your toes and the cool water?
Maybe you prefer the mountains. As the sun rises, you can feel the cool breeze and you can see beautiful animals begin to move around.
Now as summertime arrives, we can feel the heat and the humidity. But there is still beauty to be found all around us... just go back to that flower. hehehe
We will probably say goodbye to the rain as summer takes over. It has been beautiful while it lasted this year except for those who got damaging hail.
Enjoy the beauty all around you and Love will grow within you!
Wednesday is here! And do you know what day it is?
Here is a hint. Aren't eagles beautiful birds? I know how much trouble it is to color my hair all one color. I wonder how long it took to do all her feathers.
Yes, it is Flag Day! And my sweet friend, Kay, has a birthday today that she shares with Trump!
So today I have a day off and I am going outside to enjoy the flowers for a bit. I hope to get my car inspected and tags renewed too. And I desperately need to get groceries as our list is a page long.
Our flag is flying between our driveways. Of course we are both wearing red, white and blue too!
Wave that Flag proudly today and I'll see you tomorrow unless I am still unloading groceries.
Saturday and Summer! We started our day at 70° or above. Yesterday was 95° and today should be 97°.
I have already watered the plants in the backyard. It takes about an hour. When you start out, you think, it isn't too bad out here. By the time you are through, you are dripping wet with sweat!
I have about 4 different colors of daylilies but I would love that orange & black Tiger Lily. Lilies are so faithful to come back year after year and they spread too.
Isn't it amazing the color that flowers add to our life? When I walk outside barefoot to do my grounding every morning, even on work days, the colorful blooms put a smile on my face.
Even at night they shine in the solar lights and the moon light. Some of them might sleep but some of them never close up and are there to greet you.
Even the weeds have a role in our life. Some, like dandelions, are very good for you health wise and their blooms really are pretty. I hope you see flowers today that put a smile on your face and that you share that smile with others.
Good Afternoon and welcome to summer! My girls got back after their vacation trip to Myrtle Beach and all around the South East.
They stopped by on the way home to share pictures. So I have uploaded some new pictures on my home page. I am sure enjoying all the new pages on The Hill with cute and beautiful pictures. I don't change my main page but I do try to update pictures and hope you enjoy them.
I am hoping that all the fires in Canada have been put out now. Any fire is a scary time and I hope none of you were affected personally. It is time for me to start getting ready for work tomorrow and Friday. Be sure to check the bulletins on the days that I am working.
Share your smile and kindness with others. Blessings upon Blessings to you my friend!
Wednesday, half way through the week. Yesterday we had new AC units installed upstairs and outside. Today temperatures will begin in the 90's in our area.
The yard looks beautiful. Hubby got most of the yard edged and I got front and back mowed. The daily popup showers did not come near us but everyday there is a slim chance.
My strawberry plants have produced a few already this year. I gave one to Livvy last week and she cried all the way home for more. It was the only one at the time. I have shared with several other people since then including the one I dropped that Carly got.
Today is all about catching up on things around the house with a smile on my face. Maybe this and maybe that but probably not... if you know what I mean.
Now I am heading outside to check out the flowers and see who needs water the most. Also to see if I can get a picture of the Blue Jay that flew off as the camera was ready to capture him. Hummingbird feeders probably need new food too. Come sit for a while with me!
Still trying to rest up before work tomorrow. Hope you had a blessed weekend!
So about 3 hours before Amy got here, I realized our Air Conditioner was not cooling. Our repair man came and we are going to have to replace the inside and outside units. At least he got it up and running for the weekend. Thank you Lord!
It is a good thing that I am working because this is going to be a pretty penny for a new AC. We have already paid for the materials for 100' of our fencing project but the rain is keeping them from being able to replace it right now.
God always provides, of that I am positive. Otherwise, I might be calling to see if you have room for us to visit you for a while. We are truly blessed and looking forward to whatever happens next. Now time for another nap!
Three hours sleep + 2 more. Now our family is gone. I was still texting at 2:15 am and awake at 5:30, with a nap until 8 am.
There are no words to tell you how much fun Rbt and I had visiting all day yesterday with Amy. Denise is like my daughter and we adore Logan and his girlfriend Megan.
Carly had so much fun with Logan and with Megan too. They would play tug-of-war and where did the toy go? So now with College Baseball on TV, it is time for us and the dogs to take a nap as they are on their 7-8 hour trip to South Texas and home to Alice.
We both know I probably won't nap anytime soon. But what a wonderful day off and weekend.
I am off today because my best friend since 3rd grade is here visiting for a couple of nights! It is a perfect 4 leaf clover kind of Friday!
There will probably be a lot of sitting around and talking about all kinds of things in this world that are going on now with our family and our friends over the years.
There will probably be a lot of flowers and garden talk and sharing of plants that we love.
So much to cover with Amy since it has been a while since we have been together to just talk about whatever crosses our "come and go" memory nowadays.
But when the day is over, we will have made new memories to cherish together and be grateful for our 65 years of being friends.
Wednesday is the middle of the week and a wonderful day for a day off. Woo Hoo! Yippee Yahoo!
And with just a little help from my friends, it will be a GREAT day, if I don't look at my "todo" list, that is.
All my true friends know me through and through that what they see is what they get and I will always be there for them.
Just call my name and I'll be there. ROAR! Here I come! Move outta the way.
But if I am having trouble getting there, don't forget to call on Jesus. He is always there to help each one of us at all times. I do send you lots of Blessings and Hugs each and every day too.
I survived Friday! It was supposed to be an easy day... Well, I always find stuff to do and can't just leave things undone or not finish a project.
I was like, "Don't bother me. I am on a roll and working hard to finish what I started."
Besides, if you stay busy it makes the time fly. I didn't even finish my coffee until 2:30 and ate my sandwich while putting labels on brochures. I just hate lazy people that hide from work and don't do what needs to be done.
Now, it is like nothing to worry about on Monday except on to the next project ~ woo hoo! I am just enjoying the weekend. The yard got mowed and the rains came! God is good!
The Longhorn girls won their softball game yesterday and the Longhorn boys won their second game of the weekend yesterday. But today they both play at the same time across the street from each other in Austin.
I hope you have a beautiful Caturday and hope my Longhorns win again today! I'll also say Sweet Dreams as the whole world is in your hands. Be Kind and share your Love.
Let us start this day right. Sing it all day now. It is a wonderful world after all.
What are your favorite smells? Coffee is one of mine. However, the smell of the seashore brings back some fun memories too. Unless there are dead fish!
Where else can we drift off to that a specific scent would bring back good memories?
We could gallop through a field of flowers in the country! Wouldn't that be fun?
From the wide open spaces to the waterfalls in the forest. That sure has a unique scent to it too.
And yet, not all water smells the same. Rain has a scent of its own and we have had lots of rain lately. As I think to myself, What a Wonderful World.
No matter what your favorite scent is or your favorite memory, the coffee is always on and you are always welcome to stop by. When will you be here?
