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.
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.
Haven't written in a while, not sure you are receiving e mails still or not. Hope you and your sister have been well and no sickness been going around. Have had lots of 90 plus days here but next week will be in the 80's so cooler weather is on the way. Nothing exciting has been happening - just taking it day by day. Hope you'll have a lovely Sunday. Take care and write soon. 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...
A cool breeze , a cool morning and I am glorious happy for I can smell fall in the air today. I am having, at the moment, a delicious cup of some flavored fall coffee, to make this day even more special, along with my favorite fall coffee mug. May your day be ever so kind to you as you do your daily duties. Smiles Gloria
The day after the day that I walk out the front door and the air is crisp, with just a hint of the Autumn days ahead, I put cinnamon in my coffee. ~Betsy Cañas Garmon, betsygarmon.com
What can we get into on this fine Thursday? You know we are closing in on another weekend.
We could go to the beach and watch the water ebb and flow as the sun comes up to begin the day.
How about a sail boat ride under the Golden Gate Bridge? I guess California, Nevada and other states are still dealing with Hillary so maybe that isn't a good idea.
Not sure if it is still this beautiful, but Crater Lake is so much fun to ride around on motorcycles. We did that many years ago.
I grew up in South Texas near Corpus Christ and it is beautiful. They got rain from Harold this week and what a Blessing it was for them.
The rain was still 300+ miles from us but all of Texas has been needing the rain. Our turn will be soon. Please keep praying for us to get a nice gentle rain. Now let's do a Rain Dance, please.
Wednesday is starting off slow. I need more coffee. Do I really have to get out of bed today? I love watching a good movie in the late evenings and then reading some in my latest book.
Some days are purrfect to just stay in bed and read a good book like... How to Kill a Mockingbird or How to Catch a Mouse.
Now you know why we don't have a cat. However, we do have dogs that don't like anything to be in their backyard, squirrels, bunnies, birds, mice, rats or anything that moves.
Good thing hummingbirds are very small and very fast and our dogs have never caught one of them.
So on this "middle of the week", stay in bed, read a good book, and don't worry about anything else. If you can get away with that!
Hello there and I hope you are enjoying your afternoon. Its a warm one here. Its 95* and feels like 99*. I had to get out and run some errands. Its rather warm out there. My wildflowers in my pot on my porch are looking rather wilted even though I water them every evening. I don't think they will last much longer. Take care my friend and enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs to you, Cheryl
Good Morning! I thought I was going to have to work today, but Jody's jury duty summons was canceled. So here I am to check on you.
August 3rd, Nicole got her Texas Drivers License. Her new TDL card is already in her possession.
Yesterday, August 21st, Will got his Texas Drivers License. What a wonderful month it has been.
I'm trying to remember when I got mine and I can't remember that far back. But I was so excited when Wayne got his and I could just toss him the keys and say... Go get us some milk!
Y'all better look out on the roads. I do remember the first (shortly after I got my TDL) and the last (leaving the Ranch about 30 years ago) time I took the bottom out from under the car I was driving.
Sometimes Monday can start off as lemons.... Let's turn it into bananas instead.
Oh No! Did I hear the "banana" word (like my dogs when we say "Snackie Time").
No matter what you are having for breakfast this morning, it is time to start the day off right.
After all, swinging into a new week right will set the tone for the entire week.
Because sometimes before you get things marked off your list for Monday it will be time to say goodnight. The next thing you know it is Friday again and time to party the weekend away. So get some sleep now.
What a way to start the week or end the week... OK, to start or end any day.
Both coffee and a good book are very high on my list of favorites.
Of course, flowers and hummingbirds are also very high on my list.
Our dogs are always at the door to greet us when we come home. And there is nothing cuter than a puppy or a baby of almost any kind.
You should already know by now that Giraffes are very high on my tall list too.
As you have guessed by now, I have a very long list. Pictures and Life are also high on my list. However, Jesus is at the very top! I can't wait to see Him face to face.
