This morning as I am in one of my happy places my chair enjoying my cup of coffee before I start the real work this was my view Sophie was in her happy spot! She happened to claim it before the normal sun worshipping Rudy did!
She followed the sun around on the floor and soon became overheated and Rudy once again got his spot back.
So staring at me from the left are these two clowns. Lord forbid I ever get to sit in my chair all by myself!
Eyes were on me and waiting for the chance , just maybe I will let them share my chair.
Well of course I caved, just look how sad Rupert looks! He is my baby!
I am glad to see the humidity hit the road for a few days anyway, i have a wedding cake and wedding flowers to work on so do not wanna put the air conditioner in! I am a cheap charlie and besides that we go all winter with the doors and windows shut up. I really enjoy having them open and the fresh air coming in. Who can not love the sounds of summer, birds chirping, dogs barking and kids voices as they play outside. I love it!
A busy week is in store for me and as much as I enjoy wedding cakes and flowers I really do want to be outside! I have made great strides in redoing part of the backyard and wish I could really get it finished this week but that is gonna have to wait until next week! I wish you could see how pretty it looks right now. I have a lot of lily's blooming. I have pictures , don't worry and I will be posting them so you all can see. In the meantime do not forget to deadhead your flowers, it will keep them blooming longer, I try and do this for at least a half hour a day. Enjoy the sunshine and enjoy your week!
I started my day by waking to more sunshine! I love waking to the sun. Working on some garage sale stuff and going through some old purses I found 31.00 and some odd change today,man that is a fun feeling finding forgotten money. Enough to pay off the end of one more bill! I am hauling in a load of aluminum cans tomorrow that should be enough I hope to buy some bags of mulch.
No plans today so I got some more yard work done and thanks to the help of my neighbors I got rid of some bigger tree saplings that means I can finally get those flower beds whipped into shape. Was able to hang all my laundry outside and let it dry outside, just love those air dried towels when ya get out of the shower.
Ended my day by sitting on my porch, in my favorite swing with a little glass of wine.
Angie said she needed wine bottles so I am trying to help her out and while enjoying the sights and sounds outside this was my lovely view tonight.
I have had one busy week so far! I have gotten so many things crossed off my summer to do list! I finally have the veggie garden planted even though it is not everything I wanted it is planted,peppers, tomato's,cucumbers, onions, beans zucchini,and even tried some baby pumpkins and gourds we will see if they amount to anything or not. I am calling a extended summer at least thru the end of October.
I got all of the front flower beds cleaned up and need to stick in a few plants yet and then add some mulch. Have done some painting and still have more to do. It is coming along.
I have always fed the KOI fruits so this week we tried some veggies they love romaine lettuce and frozen baby peas! Zinny was so interested in trying the foods also she went for a little swim in the pond! I use a feeder ring that way I know how much they are eating she thought it was for the dogs also.
The lily's are starting to bloom and I have color popping through all over the place is so much fun to see what's new in the blooming department everyday.
I am flower sitting for Elayne and I sure do like having more color out front! She has the cutest solar lights in some of her pots. I will take pictures so you all can see them too. I just have to share my favorite gazing ball with you, It resides in my blue garden, well what used to be a blue garden, now it is a free for all!
I own 5 gazing balls and this is my all time favorite!
I am enjoying all the sunny days and the sweating that comes with it, need to be outside as much as I can this week as next week I have a wedding booked so will be spending most of my time inside. Keep gardening it is so good for the soul!!
