Happy Day after Caturday! Sunday is one of seven of my favorite days! Do you have a favorite day of the week?
Right now Fall is a favorite time of year for many people! I am a Summer girl but it has been a long hot summer with no rain!
So yes, I do enjoy the cooler temperatures and Mother Nature teasing us with clouds and a drizzle of precipitation every now and then. But for the most part, give me longer days. Although we had a heat index of 105-109° yesterday.
As Spring comes to an end, Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush flowers are in full bloom with the promise of longer days and more bright colored flowers. That would be the beginning of summer!
Yes, I am a sunshine girl who loves watching the sun come up before 6 am and setting around 9 pm. I will concede that Fall is a nice change but I am already dreading the season that comes next. I don't like the cold, coats, sweaters, and all the things that come with Winter either.
Where did the week go? It is Saturday and this evening we play the Baylor Bears! I am always ready for some football or college baseball.
Most of our hummingbirds have migrated to South Texas now. We do still have some that stay pretty much most of the year. Have you ever seen a rare Albino of any species?
I even found this video of a rare Albino Hummingbird. Also my girlfriend in South Texas, Judy, shared her video of all my hummingbirds that are now at her feeder over 400 miles away. I was grateful that they had a new home for a while on their layover!
Happy Fall? We will have a heat index between 105-109° today and yes we still need rain without the damaging storms. But there are always lots of blessings each day and a long list of things to be thankful for too. Thank you for being my friend!
Now let's get this weekend started and I hope you get out and do something special for those you love. Pass on that Hug! I am not working Monday but Friday! Happy Caturday!
Woo Hoo! We made it to Friday one more time! I am looking forward to working on Monday!
What is your favorite thing to drink? I drink mostly water and love Coconut Water! Every now and then I will drink some milk at home. I love hot tea but rarely make it. I don't drink tea in a restaurant any more but like an Arizona Tea now and then. I love the Cocoringa Moringa Hot Chocolate and it has great nutritious ingredients.
Do you like to go out to eat? I love eating out and love picking up food to bring home. I guess you can tell we do cook but the cooking and cleaning up is not our favorite thing to do.
You can probably tell just by looking at me how much I love to eat. My favorite is meat and potatoes or bacon, egg & tomato sandwich. I may only eat 2 meals a day, but I do make each of the meals really count.
Whatever you do or whatever you eat, I am sending you Blessings & Hugs this weekend! Pam
Thursday is here again... already! The week is flying by. So much to do and so little time. Ok, all the time in the world (until the Lord comes anyway).
Time for the fairies to refill my cup. Ok, maybe my fairy is my Hubby, but still time for at least that second cup already. And maybe it is already past 1 pm today because he spoils me and I just don't want to get out of my chair.
Coffee makes the world more colorful, don't you agree? It usually takes more than one cup too.
I don't like it so hot that it melts the cup either. But the view is pretty great most days!
One of my favorite times of the day is in the evening when I put fresh coffee grounds in the coffee pot for the next day. I love the smell of coffee! Anytime is ...
Blessings upon Blessings to celebrate today. Yesterday afternoon, my son in Flower Mound (an hour away) called me on FaceTime.
They were getting really nice rain. It was only 70° and it rained for 30 minutes or more.
One by one the girls all gave up and ran back into the house. Nicole and the dogs were the last group to leave. Wayne and I talked for 20 minutes or so watching and listening to the rain, the lightning, and the loud thunder. He said it was the loudest he had ever heard. We even saw a fire truck go past.
He called me back on FaceTime and the house that caught fire was 10 houses down from him on the other side of the street. It looks like the windows all blew out and the 2nd story was very damaged. The lady & daughter were not injured and neighbors ordered pizza, but last night they got a bunch more rain which probably did more damage. So friends, count your Blessings!
I pray you had as wonderful of a weekend as I did! The Texas Longhorns and the Cowboys both won. Today, I have already watered the backyard, 1000 steps, and fixed both of us a bacon, 2 eggs, tomato sandwich for brunch. But I want to share pictures from yesterday.
My grandson, Will, just woke up from a nap in this picture after a big meal at Saltgrass! Do you get sleepy after a big meal? Will is sitting in a chair and I am standing next to him.
In this picture, you can tell that he is 6'6" or so. Wendy is 6' and Bill is almost that tall. So you can imagine how he has to bend in half to give me a hug!
A very blessed day was had by all 5 of us. Wendy & I ran a few errands and then the guys met us at SaltGrass. Then Wendy and I sat on the patio for a couple of hours watching hummingbirds and talking while Rbt and Bill watched the Cowboy game as Will took a nap.
My goodness it is hard to say goodbye! Not only do they now live 2 hours away from us but with both being real estate agents, their life is non stop busy. Wendy's phone also rings constantly with people needing holistic consultations. I miss them so very much, FaceTime just isn't a real HUG!
Sunday is here and I am so excited! Our adopted family is planning a 2 hour one way trip to see us today. We already have plans for most of the day.
Can you see the smile on my face? My cheeks already hurt. Even though Wendy and I spent an hour on FaceTime Friday morning, she on her porch and me on the patio at each of our homes, it just isn't the same!
This has always happened to us when they are here, the soul retreat! Since they moved to the other side of the metroplex, we just don't visit in person as much.
Amazing how it makes us appreciate the little things even though we have never taken our time together for granted. Well, maybe when they lived 10 minutes from us!
We are all 5 blessed when they come for a visit and when they leave. I pray you have a Blessed Sunday as well.
Hello Anne - still havien't seen you online so I'm guessing you have given up on sending out comments. Not sure if you are getting online and see these comments. I went to breakfast early this morning at 8 am with honey's brother and wife, then I went to a district meeting for the VFW. Came home and took a nap as I didn't get much sleep the nite before. Have a happy Sunday. Hugs, Wendy
Good afternoon to you. I'm enjoying this cooler weather here. I hope you aren't having hot weather. It was foggy this morning. Enjoy your afternoon and have a great weekend. Oh, before I forget, I have posted a new picture in my photos on my page. Yesterday I finished a Lego project and wanted everyone to see it that I don't have on Facebook. Take care my friend, many hugs, Cheryl
We made it! Friday is here! I had a good day at work yesterday! I was very busy all day just doing lots of catch up for Jody.
Not sure how we can have so many rain clouds and get so very little. Not sure how they can predict rain every day for a week and each day change it to not a chance.
However, we are very thankful for each drop. 1/10" for each of the last 3 days. More will come in God's timing. The cooler temperatures have really been a Blessing!
Besides, now I can get out there and watch the hummingbirds and take another 20 videos for today! Not kidding either. They fascinate me!
I am getting everything ready for work tomorrow. We had a trace of rain just before daylight and another trace of rain mid afternoon. It might have totaled 1/10" but it kept our temperatures in the low to mid 80's today. I'll try to post a bulletin before I leave in the morning!
Tuesday cuteness! Saw this cute graphic and thought it looks so much like the new puppy my friends in Lubbock just picked up Saturday.
Meet Rosie! They have been waiting about a year for the conception and birth. Then they got to pick the one of 6, 3 boys & 3 girls, that they wanted.
Nicole and Michelle came over with my son, Wayne, and DIL, Evelyn, on Saturday afternoon. They all 4 get their haircuts in FATE.
Wayne and I sat outside on the patio filming the 15-20 hummingbirds in the backyard. We loved watching them fly with their tail spread out and the males red throats in the sunshine. These two are females.
This Hummingbird is showing off his tail feathers. You can see the white at the bottom of each one.
There are 3 hummingbirds in this picture. One you can almost see the red throat. When the sun hits them just right, the red is brilliant. Counting my blessings one by one.
Good afternoon my friends. Its a rainy day here. We have a little over 2 inches so far. Its been raining here since sometime last night. Its supposed to do this most of the week. What a blessing it is and with much cooler temperatures. This rain is making me sleepy. I've been working on another Lego project that we got at Target in Oklahoma City on Friday. I worked on it most of the afternoon yesterday and its a Botanial Garden Lego Bird of Paradise flower. So far I have gotten the bottem part done witch is the pot. Its a lot of work. Well I shall quit rambling on about stuff and go and get my clothes folded and put away. Enjoy the rest of your day and I'm hoping its cooler where you live. Take care and hugs, Cheryl
Oh yes! I am smiling! Saturday was so wonderful! Have I told you how much I love THE Texas Longhorns?
I am so thankful that that game is over AND that we won. They (Alabama) put us in the top sections for our fans and our BAND out of revenge. At least that is what the article said.
We are now looking at cooler temperatures and the possibility of rain for a few days. Besides, the Cowboys won a game too. So who wouldn't be smiling today?
I know it is time for me to shut up, get outta here and get on with the week with a big smile just as I do every day, win or lose. Counting my blessings!
