Thursday is a day for Butterflies! The other day, I had so many different butterflies in the yard. I think they were looking for water as well as nectar.
Some butterflies seem to add color wherever they go and some are the color!
Have you seen butterflies that are a pale color? I have some that are yellow but you can almost see through them. They are so pale.
I think that this butterfly would just disappear if it landed on a green plant, don't you?!
I love watching the butterflies, but I have very few videos of them. Have you ever tried to video a butterfly up close? Mine are so quick and cover the whole back yard in a matter of seconds. To keep them in view, I have to zoom out to most of the yard and then you can't even tell what color they are!
Good afternoon Cheryl. Happy mid week wishes. It's partly sunny here and I have no plans for the day except tog o tothe Mose tonite for a few drinks with our friends and good conversation. But first I'll make dinner - thinking goulash tonite as I have some hamburger that I haven't frozen yet. No other plans for the day. Hope yours is gonna be good no matter what you do. Hugs Wendy
Do you play a musical instrument? I don't and I can't carry a tune either. I sure do enjoy listening to music though.
Some people are so creative! This would be a cute game table to play cards on, to me!
I do love to read with soft soothing music in the background. Lately, every time I think about reading, I start yawning. Maybe because I have been staying up too late at night.
The later it gets and the closer my supposedly bedtime approaches, it always seems that I get a second wind. Or someone will call and I am wide awake. Tonight will be my "catch up" on sleep night, unless I can find a good movie.
It was a pretty day but overcast. We went to Va. Beach for a doc appoint for Rich as a f/u with hsi primary since he had a visit to the hospital a few days agao and they sent him home knowing nothing really. She thinks he has a hernia and wants hme to wear a medical belt and also take potassium. We went to Smokey Bones - a place known for great bbq ribs, plus chicken etc. Haven't been there in a very long time so it was a nice change. Got home after 6 so the day was a fast one. We had a little rain while up in Virginia but non down here in NC. How is your hubby doing with his injury to his shoulder, Cheryl? Hope he's doing good. Have a good nite. hugs, Wendy
How about we sit on this bench and dream Tuesday away? No need to do chores today. Just visit and enjoy the view!
Of course we can make the best of this day and choose to do that every day. Do I get frustrated? Sure! Do I have a bad day? Sure! But not for very long.
And I have lots of "bad hair" days! But on those days, I just don't look in the mirror.
So if you have a bad day, find something or someone who will put a smile on your face. Or go out and do something you really like to do that is fun.
After all, a dog, a cat, an animal, a friend, etc. can all turn your day around and make you smile. Then go share that smile with others and make their day bright too.
I like your fall page Cheryl. My computer died so Rich is letting me use his till I can get another one. Went to his brother's for dinner - she said she was making Mexican meat and I kinda invited myself as I haven't had that since she made it over 5 years ago. We had a chuck roast with the viggies and I made mashed potaotes. Nothing I like better than a chuck roast! So I was happy. Just finished watching the Eagles win in football. Did hyou know Prime now is showing Thursday nite football? We watched it last week. Now watching a new program called Irrational - pretty good so far. I like my coffee - love the smell when Rich grinding the beans. Rich drinks several cups. Have a good evening. Hugs, Wendy
Busy day! Ran errands in the morning and did lots in the afternoon. Very little sleep as we had 5 different thunder and lightning storms roll through between 9 pm and 5 am. We were Blessed with 1" rain! Sweet Dreams!
Here we go again! Another week but the last one in September! Where did this month go? Zip! Poof! Gone!
I really love my page. I guess you know I love giraffes. Well there is something else I like a lot too.
The Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival was this weekend. Look at that beautiful Texas Balloon!
And did you know that HEB is going to build a grocery store about 4 miles from our house? It will open in Spring of 2025.
Have you ever been to a Hot Air Balloon launch? We used to go when we first moved here. It is always an on and off launch because we usually have too much wind for them to launch. I love the nighttime when the Balloon "glow"!
I feel that today hardly exsisted. Had to go to a meeting for the Moose auxillary. After almost 3 hrs, they voted to disban the auxillary. That's ok with me as they haven't really done anything. After that we went to the CPOA to watch football with his brother. Finally got something to eat while there - a hamburger with the works and a soda. First thing I ate all day. After a while, we went home and watched the Cowboys loose to the Cardinals. So dissappointed. But there will be other gamse. Other than that it was a beautiful day - sunny blue skies with lots of white fluffy clouds, temp 79 not bad for the second day of Fall. Have a good tomorrow. Hugs, Wendy
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!
Didn't hear anything about an eclips, Cheryl. Tell me about it and why you hae to go to Texas to see it. Do you have family or friends there that you can stay with?
It's a rainy day here as the tropical storm is supposed to start tonite and the rain wasn't supposed to come until midnite. We are going out tonite to the Moose and friends are bringing us a pork chop dinner from the Lyons club near them. I've already taken a shower and washed my hiair and have some jeans in the washer - hopfully they can finish washingand be done in the dryer in an hour. Need to get a few more ccomments out before I get ready. Congrats on your new grandbaby Cheryl. You and hubby will have to take a trip out to Utah to be with your daughter and family. Why did they move out there anyway? Have a good day. Hugs, Wendy
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
