A little sneaky peekie

Just a quick little update at some of the projects I am working on and future blog posts...

What is--A giant box of pictures? Ding ding that is correct! What have I won? Hours in front of the scanner and computer, scanning, editing and categorizing said photos. Pass the aspirin please!

Looks like a wood frame. Oh but it is so much more.

Pebble me this? Is it decorative or functional? Maybe both...hmmmm

STAY TUNED!!

Feelin' hot, hot, hot


It is simply to hot to be the end of May. I am convinced there is some kind of mass hallucination to make us believe it is May instead of like August. Which is what it feels like. Some crazy government experiment in quantum time leap gone awry. It is a conspiracy I say! That sounds kinda crazy....ummmm... just kidding...haha haha ha? Maybe I watch to much SyFy...yeah--that's it...ahem...
Quantum Leap-- I loved that show!!
I wonder how many times I can stick my head in the freezer to cool off before I blow the compressor on my fridge? Our AC is working overtime. My downstairs is cool but upstairs is boiling lava hot. There is a 15°F difference between the 2 levels. Even with 3 fans running at high speed upstairs. Oh--the joys of a century old house.

I am not kidding about the heat. It is simply oppressive. 92°F in the shade today. UGH!  I was lamenting the fact that I wish we had a screened in porch with ceiling fans and  a fenced yard because then we could have pool.

I can hear the squeak and snap of the screen door

A Sunday Stroll around my yard

Happy Sunday Y'all! 

What a BEAUTIFUL morning!  The hubbs was up early to go fishing so I decided to head out in the garden in the wee hours this morning. 6:30 am found me groggy and bleary eyed but I am glad I was out before the waves of heat came rolling in.

I took the dogs out with me but decided Chubbs could be my garden buddy this  morning. He is 10 and  his favorite thing to do is his impression of a speed bump. Except today he was rather alert.  

Here he is inspecting my raised bed's project

Zombie dog and killer garden mist! lol

The morning mist on a grape leaf.

If I can keep the critters off of them--I may get some yummy grapes this year!

My outta control perennial bed.

Dew covered Asiatic Lily

Evil sneaky weed planning to overthrow my garden bed. It must be stopped!

I thought this plant is a daisy--but now I am not sure. oops!

My Cone-flowers are as tall as me.

It just screams HELLO!!

Butterfly bush beginning to flower

A thirsty petunia
Coleus

A perfect dew covered rose.

I have lots more to share but I am tired. Last night was a very late night 3am and back up at 6:30am. ugh! Then this afternoon I had a 70 minute drive each way to attend my nephews graduation. I am glad to be at home in the AC and it is quiet. Umm I think I need a nap! So I am gonna go dream about all my fruits, veggies and flowers. What is growing in your yard?
