It feels like summer has been here since late May and here it is the first day! A few years ago in 2011 we had 71 days of 100° weather in the DFW area. But in 1980 they had 42 consecutive 100° days. I hope we don't break either of those records. I am getting too old for this stuff.
I am thinking about, and trying to motivate myself to run errands. I need my car inspected and registration sticker before the month is done. And of course, it is Taco Salad Tuesday for us at Rosa's. Besides, I really need to get out and share a smile with others. Hope you will do the same.
Even though it is a Federal Holiday, it is the start of another week and for us ten days of over 100° with as high as 105°coming our way.
I finally got nails put on as I guess I was letting them rest! I decided on my favorite color as I will change them again before the 4th of July.
We ate BBQ with the kids and lots of wonderful cold salads, (pea salad, spiral pasta salad, potato salad) and spent time with the girls. Michelle showed me her garden, SunFlower, cucumber, watermelon, lettuce, and spinach... and her growing chickens too.
Then last night, when I went out to check out the sunset to take a picture, I spotted our Jack Rabbit. I got four videos over 30 seconds of each of him in our carport area. I hope your Father's Day Sunday was a blessed one too! Enjoy this last day of Spring.

So proud of the Father my son is to his girls and of my DIL for being an awesome Mom to them too. Hope each of you will have a Blessed day today and Sunday.
Have fun because you never know what tomorrow will bring. George, Kyle Kid, has 5-6 months. He has an awesome outlook and takes each day as it comes. He loves Jesus and is looking forward to seeing Judy, his wife for over 60 years, who passed away last September again soon.
I know those of you on the East and the West coasts have a reprieve from this heat, but at 10:30 am we are nearing a "feel like" of 100°. I made it outside to water plants and looked just like the picture above by the time I was finished.
So now that I have cooled a bit under the ceiling fan in the computer room and combed my hair. I thought I would check and see how you are doing this Friday.
I hope you and your friends are gathering for the long weekend and have a plan to stay cool and to have a fun party time in the old town. We are excited after 3 days with no softball (it is over) or baseball, there are 2 college baseball games today and tomorrow. So I will check on you later!
The front and back plants have already been watered today. I am craving BACON so I "might" fry up a pound. Doesn't Bacon and Egg Sandwich sound good?
Then I hope to read the new book I started this week. If I read at night I get sleepy. Besides, I love Hallmark and UPtv Christian and "feel good" movies.
I have errands to run today. The College World Series starts Friday. So I will catch up on movies on UPtv or Hallmark or read Christian books on Kindle. But for now, I am off and running.
Don't forget to share your smile with everyone you encounter. We have a reprieve from 100's until next Monday, unless they change the forecast, but that is something to smile about.
Short night, 4 hours sleep. The Longhorns baseball game was supposed to start at 3 pm but with rain delay in NC, it didn't start until 9:15 pm. However, we are heading on to Omaha so it was worth the very late night. Then dogs were barking at a snake way before daylight and later two of them each caught a mouse, one of which brought the still barely alive one in the house. It is nap time in our house! SO, HOW IS YOUR MONDAY GOING?
Does anyone have a telephone number for Sparks505, or know if Lee is OK? She hasn't answered my email and I am still worried about her. Thanks!
Next question, do you ever see Monarch Butterflies? Do you have any Milkweed plants? They look like this...
When Monarchs feed on milkweed, the caterpillars ingest toxins in the plant that make them poisonous to predators until they become adult butterflies. The plant will have pods on it that contain seeds.
This is what the pod looks like when it opens and the seeds fly away, all over the place. I have at least three envelopes full of seeds and many more pods to open soon. Let me know if you would like seeds. My neighbor, a teacher, always captures the caterpillars and watches them turn into a butterfly. This year we were both out of Milkweed because of the bad freeze a year ago in February. We both bought plants. I also bought 4 colors of seeds which I shared with others already not knowing how many seeds my plant would produce. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this lesson as I did not realize Monarchs covered such a large area.
Starting tomorrow it starts to really heat up around here. By then we're back in the 90's and a few days they say will be 100* or higher not counting the humidity. I guess I'll be working indoors for awhile! Stay cool and have a great weekend!
