Do you remember the before gate project? The boards were rotting and splitting and so Hubby put on new boards bolted to the metal frame and all new pickets.
Didn't he do a beautiful job!?! The dogs can't get under but they can see us when we are working on the other side. AND I got one of my projects done! The bathing area for birds and hummingbirds. Now all I have to do is wait for them to find it.
So it has been a really good week. And here comes Sunday Blessings & Hugs to you!
I've already been in the computer room for over 2 hours. Where does time go? What have I gotten done? OK, three of the four dogs did sneak out of the yard as Hubby is working on rebuilding a gate with new fence pickets. Dogs are all back in and hole is secured for now we hope!
Here is the before picture. Now it may be a day or two before the project is complete and I can get an after picture. At least I have been seeing my hummingbirds lately. Yesterday evening I got a video of one around the Turk's Cap red flowers. Late evening I saw them at two of the feeders from inside the house. And earlier this morning I saw two of them challenging each other.
Enjoy today hopefully with nicer temperatures. I know our heat is coming back for the weekend and next week. But think, just another 3 months and fall will be upon us. Enjoy the summer season because winter isn't a favorite of many either.
We had to run to town today to Ace Hardware for some bolts. Hubby is replacing fence pickets on a gate he built 15 or more years ago. So naturally we stopped on the way home for TACOS. Now that our grazing is over, it is on to other things.
Did you say it was August? We started at 69 this morning and are only at 84 now. Yes, we will be near 100 this Saturday and Sunday but for August today is unthinkable weather as you can tell by my expression!
Tomorrow I get to drive in traffic to take Hubby to get Laser surgery on his left eye. We are hoping it will clear up some of his blurry vision. Dallas traffic is always a flip of the coin as to how long it takes to get there.
So I will send you Blessings and Hugs for now and be back soon. Share that smile and I will share mine.
Here we are in August already and I don't even know where the last few days have gone. I got the yard mowed Sunday afternoon. We got 8/10" rain Sunday during the night. I also got fresh Hummingbird food put out in all 3 feeders.
The flowers, bugs, birds, grass, everything is so happy today. This weekend we will be back to near 100 but we are grateful to God for all his blessings.
Don't forget to share your smile today. Now off to vacuum and mop this dirty house. Feel free to come over and help as you are always welcome here.

It has been a busy day and someone is napping. Hubby had a chiropractic appointment early. Then we went about 20 miles to Herb Mart to buy a bunch of NAC (being pushed out by Big Pharma) and on over another 10 miles to the Pond & Pump shop. Back in Rockwall, we went to Lowe's for fence pickets. Even stopped at Schlotzsky's drive thru before we made it home.
Don't know how I got on the cat theme... but might as well run with it. We visited on the phone with our friends in Lubbock over projects we both have going and how tired we all are today. They had their garage floor refinished last year and are now getting their back patio areas done today.
The surface is not slippery and is going to look awesome around the koi fish pond and the covered area where they eat which is a big patio off of their shop. They are having 20-30 people over for a class reunion pre gathering party outside next weekend (very small graduating class many years ago).
Ok, by the time I get this posted, the weekend has started! So nap time is over and I missed it. Hope you get to relax or get to go out and have some fun for the weekend.
Good Morning or Afternoon now! I have come into the computer room 4 times to start this message to YOU! I have also been outside 3 times to water wilted plants. Finally it is finished. It is so hot that I have to stop and come in to cool. How many days until Fall or Autumn? I know we are due a cool front and rain in a few days but everything may have melted by then.
In the meantime, what is there to do? I still don't have my hummingbird water bath made. I'm not even sure if they have food or if they are even in the area now because of the heat as it is not fun sitting on the patio to watch for them. But I'll try...
So, what are you doing to survive this day? You know the weekend is getting very close and I hope you have something planned. If you have a list, I hope you get something crossed off it.
Now what is for lunch? Oh, we are both too hot to eat. Guess I had better help hubby finish his project in the garage. He took down shelves and he is putting up a wire storage organizer on wheels.
Howdy, just making my rounds again. Hope you are doing well and enjoying your weekend so far. They always fly by way too fast. Our temps are warming back up to around 100 again, though it really doesn't seem to feel that hot. I guess due to the surrounding smoke from the fires here in Oregon the sun doesn't shine through as bright and hot. My vacation is over now, went back to work on Thursday (sigh) it was very hard to go back after having 3 1/2 weeks off. Anyway, you take care, enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week~~~ hugs, debijo
btw, thanks for the compliment on my page..
I know you enjoyed every minute of your almost 4 weeks off. That is awesome you had that much time off. Are the fires near you at all? I know even if not the smoke can be seen for miles and miles even to other states. So very sad all the fires in CA and Oregon and I guess in Washington state too. I can't even imagine. So sorry for everyone haveing to endure these. And then some parts of the country are having floods. There was some in my area recently. What a crazy time. Take care my friend and stay safe. Can't believe how fast this week is going. Big hugs, Jackie
That is kind of what we are doing with hubby's eye glasses doctor. We just dropped off our third prescription at the Optical Laboratory for new glasses. And next Wednesday, hubby will have laser surgery to remove a buildup on the implant in his left eye. We just keep taking another shot at getting glasses that he doesn't see double (Prism in glasses) and blurry and ... try again.
I was afraid he had gotten too hot yesterday when he was replacing and rewiring the septic water pump by braille. He has such a hard time seeing details like wires going together now. He is my SuperMan!
I am off to see what plants are wilted and in need of some water to perk up. Our temperature is only 96 but it feels like 107 right now. Sure hope you are cooler than that!
Here we are on a Taco Tuesday afternoon! The front, sides and back are hand watered. I was dripping so much you would have thought I got watered. So shower is completed and my nails will soon to be a different ColorStreet color.
Hubby goes back to the eye glasses doctor tomorrow. So I'm not sure what time I will be here. I always enjoy reading your comments and looking around your page and I do hope you enjoy your visit to my page.
Come back again soon. Please share your smile and make someone smile back at you!
Debijo, it would be very hard to go back after that long off!
