Pics~~~Flowers~~~Heat~~~Question~~~Etc.


Nasturtiums, planted at edge of garden, to ward off some *bug-critters.*  They are finally blooming! 

 
Our own Tiki Torches!  Another of my "marked-down-after-season" buys.  -grinnnn-  At least, I thought they were marked down.  Perhaps they never cost more.  :-))))


My next-door son/daughter-in-law have a lovely grouping of Daisies and ......  Oh, the name of the red ones, escapes me!  -pout-  But Dear Readers will know.


Every summer, they make a great Photo Opp!  They even made my Header pic. 


Just another silly pic.  :-)  I added the tiny bit of left-over Pomagranite Liquid, to the bottle...  And the Pink stayed at the top.  It must weigh less, than the more clear one.


This hot/humid weather is getting to me.  Don't feel like really doing much.  Hate to have to be cooped up, inside, in A/C.  Oh I am grateful that we have it.  But it's simply the idea that I *have to* stay inside.  What we can't do, we want to do.  Blahhhhh....  :-)


I think, I hope, I am "getting-a-handle" on posted picture size.....   The picture size, in this blog entry, looks big enough but not toooooo big, to me.  Hope, hope, hope they do to you too, Dear Reader.  If not.....  Tellllllllllllll....   :-)

Auntie, Just yesterday, I said to Ted, which is better winter or summer....we have to stay in most of the day in winter and when the temps get in the 90's , we have stay in the ac. Bummer. I truly believe I walked more in the winter, although it was just up and down the driveways. I like the cold on my face. Well now that I am thinking about it...summer is best, because we do have the beautiful flowers, blue skies and puffy white clouds. God is good. Stay cool dear friend.xoxo,Susie

Great pic size...what did you settle on?

The bee balm does look great with the daisies.

Heat is oppressive for sure. I'm trying to get motivated to get out of this recliner...ha!

I am staying in as well today. This heat is far too much for me. I'm just spending my afternoon sorting through paperwork. There is so much of it, so many letters, and applications I downloaded before leaving work.

The daisies are so pretty as is the bee balm behind them.

I think your photo size looks just right.

Is it fall yet?

Cheryl @ TFD said...

Your header photo and your blog background look real nice. I hope my blog looks OK. I guess I thought everyone see's it how I see it.

Your blog is perfect now. It loads quickly and I can see everything!

Jackie said...

So glad that you have your photo size worked out so that it pleasing to you. That's what's important.
It is so hot here, Auntie....so incredibly hot. I try to stay inside with the A/C as much as I can, but there is much to be done outside. And when we (Husband and I) finish, we are completely drenched and tired...the humidity and the heat are getting to us, big time.
Sending you hugs,
Jackie

Lovely pictures. I love daisies.

We're actually having very warm weather (for the NW of UK) ourselves at the moment. I'm really not used to it at all but I'm not grumbling because it's nice to have a summer. I believe you're having incredibly hot weather though.

Keep well and glad you have AC!

Lynn :D

Hi, Auntie...
I just saw this cake with fresh strawberries that I wondered if you saw, too....

It looks and sounds so delicious, I can just see you and Uncle having a little treat...with your glass of wine. :))
