I am so proud of my beautiful granddaughter and her Quinceañera pictures! I took over 70 pictures on Saturday, mostly of them getting ready. So funny and stressful at the same time. The photographer was awesome and I can't wait to see her pictures as I took a couple of ones after she set them up.
I sat on the patio for a little bit yesterday as the storms went around us and watched the six or so hummingbirds going from feeder to tree to flowers as the wind shifted to cooler temperatures out of the north. We are in the upper 80's this week instead of upper 90's.
Does that mean Fall is here in Texas? Probably not yet or for very long but I will "chance one eye"! Praying for all of Florida and all the people in the path of Ian. Thanks for sharing in my joy and being my friend!
Good Morning! Now you knew I had to do Orange Hummingbirds, didn't you. They are all so very different and yet beautiful. We get to go see Nicole take her Quinceañera pictures today. She didn't want the party! Also hope to see all the pictures from Israel and the story behind each picture.
Good Morning! Do you have lots of color in your day? How many different colors do Hummingbirds come in? Why are all the ones at my house so plain? Do you have any at your house that are as colorful as any of these? Life is AMAZING and thanks for being my amazing friend. I am working on Friday! See you soon.
Hope you don't have a poopy day! We are going to tie a record of 99° as our "feel like" temperatures have been over 100° all week. First day of Fall is when??? Oh, TODAY!
Today just sounds like a good day to read. Do you have a cat that will cuddle up with you while you read? I don't but I bet there will be a dog in my lap.
Several things could improve on all this. Oh, don't worry, coffee is already in hand, probably an empty coffee cup or already refilled. But RAIN on the other hand is something we are again praying for in Texas. There is none in the 10 day forecast either, just mid 90's.
All I can say is while I do have 3 book shelves full of books (mostly read), the 5,982 items in my Kindle don't take up as much room. Yes, I can't resist a good free book. So for now
What are you doing this beautiful Sunday? Do you like to fish? When we had our 500 acres, we had a beautiful pond with catfish and bass. I love to fish in a pond!
But if fishing just isn't your thing, come on over and let's just sit and chill for a while. I am sure we can solve some of the problems surrounding us. There is always a bench nearby where we can sit and share our friendship. Blessings and Hugs are always shared too! The door is always open...
We have had some cooler starts to our mornings with temperatures reaching the mid to upper 80's. However, Fall is not coming to stay in Texas any time soon. We will be in the mid 90's for a while.
Rain will also be scrace again for us. They told us to keep the hoses out and water those plants.
We can't put our hats away just yet. The sun will be beating down on us as we are giving plants a drink every couple of days.
So we will continue to enjoy each day that unfolds before us and give thanks for all our blessings.
Yes, we have 3/4 acre for a reason! We don't want to hear what the neighbors are saying, let alone thinking. OK, I love mowing too!
Apple's new iOS update is now available. I have always been the "go to" person for all my friends as far as Tech Support (George, I miss you). However, the older I get, the less sure I am that I can figure all this new stuff out. So, if you hear me screaming... I updated our iPhones and iPads.
Nothing could be more true. But then there is no better "Welcome Home" than from a dog either (or 4 of them).
I think even the dog can figure out the iPad faster than I can do it now. Let me know if you updated your Apple products or not already.
Do you share your deepest and darkest secrets with anyone special like a spouse or a friend or in prayers?
The moon is just as important as the sun. It takes both for the plants to grow. After days of rain and darkness, how wonderful does the sunshine feel to you? And how much do we enjoy the night when it is time to lay down and rest?
I don't remember reaching for the sun... but we do reach for the stars and the moon! Ok, last one for a while...
Have you ever wondered if the moon is at the end of the road? Exactly where is it and where does it go?
There are thousands of clever pictures of people holding the moon but I've never thought about drinking it.
Does the tree grow up to the moon or does the moon grow down to the tree? Which do you think?
The moon could be at the end of the railroad tracks! That is as possible as it being at the end of the road.
But I'll bet that all of you that have been to the beach really know where the moon likes to be the best of all. Kissing the edge of the water each night.
Are you up late at night? Do you go outside at night or do you go out on the town at night?
Do you look up at the moon and wonder who else is looking at the same moon?
My cousin and I often take pictures of our moon and share it with each other and say, "We are looking at the same moon."
Even though the scenery surrounding the moon or the colors of the sky may not be the same since we live in different states.
Sometimes we can't even see the moon because the clouds have moved in to obscure it.
Then at times, the moon looks so big and looks so close to us that we could just reach up and touch it.
While in another state, far away, the moon looks like it is a very long way off and that the stars are trying to outshine it. Which is your favorite moon?
The moon was so beautiful last night. I love that I can see it coming up through my living room windows. There was not a breath of wind after a warm and humid day.
I bet if you looked real close, you could see the cow jumping over the moon. Perfect weekend for high school football and homecoming for my grandson. Perfect weekend for College Football. Also a perfect weekend for tailgating at the Cowboys game!
When you take a vacation and take pictures, do you ever think what it would look like at a different time of year or in a different season or under different weather conditions?
Have you ever captured a lightning strike on camera? How blessed is the person that captured this... a rainbow and lightning.
None of the lightning pictures I have are anything like these. Can you imagine... a heart and lightning going through a cloud. Amazing!
Have you ever known someone who got struck by lightning? After looking at this picture, just think about what happens in a body that gets zapped. I don't think I'm going outside with an umbrella anytime soon. I hope you will get out there and share your smile today!
