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....   :-)

So far, so good... :-)

Well, it seems as if most of us, are still OK...  With our ways, of seeing new posts, on the blogs we love.

My new lace kitchen curtains.  I've had them quite a while, and finally got them up.  I am soooo slowwww...

The little Moss Roses, beside the patio door, continue to thrive and  blossom.

New boyfriend was over...

Not a good pic, but he is cute.

"A" and "E"...  :-)

Don't say it...   I have no *shame*!   -grin-  Taking pics behind the curtain and etc.  -giggggles-  Awww come on, that's what "Nana's" doooooooooo.  :-) 

"The Ocean at The End of the Lane"

I'm still "playing catch-up," with getting my book reviews written, and linked to.  

Who could resist that Title, and Cover Art?  Not I.  Plus, I've read a book by him, before.

Another post on "In Dragonfly Hollow"...  :-)   I am only reminding those, who might want to be reminded.  Not pushing.  Not pushing.  :-))))

Happy Monday...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"BK" next door...  Up close and personal...

"BK" and "Lucky" on their porch...

'Wild' Queen Ann's Lace and cultivated Peonies...

My view, thru the windshield, while "Uncle A." was getting gas...  A "Because I Can" shot, if there ever was one!  -grin-

Big frog, with his butt to the camera, this time.  ,-)

Installing the Tiki Torches, on Sat.  Got torches, didn't get lighter fluid.  So no "lights" on lovely Sat. night.

Showing how I've gone VERY  BRIGHT, in clothing this summer!  It's just a cotton dress, but it really "makes a statement."  lol...

Showing what's left, of the beautiful "Joseph's Coat Of Many Colors" Old Rose, this year.  -sighhhh-  Just a wee bit of green, at the bottom of dead-looking stalks.  -repeat sigh-  We love, love, love this Old Rose.  Don't know what happened to it, this Winter.  -sigh-

 But our Pink Spirea bush is coming beautifully, in back yard.  And even going through the fence, to show pretty flowers, in son's yard.

 More wild flowers, in the front garden...  Prettttty....

SUN!!!~~~Paleo Baking~~~More sun~~~Books~~~Etc.

Is this frog smiling??????  He ought to be.  We've had so much rain!

When the sun came out on Tues., evening, I had to take pics of it!!!!

Look at that!  Real sun!  Shining into my camera!

And this picture.  Complete with sun spots!!!!

My G/F and sugar free bread... Made in a bunt pan.

And here it is, turned over, with an orange glaze on it.  It makes a very moist and good nutty bread.  ~~~~~   Took some next door.  Per usual, "Gabe" loved it.  ~~~~~     Mommy and "Gabe" just came over for a short visit, and I gave them more.  If a 3 year old likes it, it has passed THE  TEST!  -grin- 

More sun-after-rain pictures...

Everything looks just beautiful....

Reflection, of the wild roses, in the pool...

Longer shot...

Do you see that spot of Red?  It's a Cardinal, on a green  branch, against the over-cast sky.

Cropped...

 More cropped...  -grin-

NOT  my  PIC!!!!!!  :-)
But wow!  Anyone who thinks eating Paleo, has to be Icky, well.....  Just look at that pic, above.  :-) 

It's a Gluten-Free recipe; Rhubarb Coconut Honey Tart...  Found on "The Kitchen" blog.  Please click here, to go see the entry, in all its *glory.*  :-)

I enjoyed my 36th book, this year!  I enjoyed "A Killer Read" to pieces!  A cozy mystery of course.  The heroine, the setting, the mystery itself, all of it....  I loved it!  And want to read the 2nd book in this Series.  

If you enjoy a Cozy, please, please, please find this book and enjoy it.

Welcome June...!!! :-)

Susan Branch's Mini Calendar, make a lovely way to Welcome June...  :-)

Another gadget!  Which "Uncle A." has been wanting.  :-)  A French Press for a smaller afternoon cup of coffee.  We often watch "As Time Goes By," and they are always making coffee with a French Press.  So he wanted one, too.  -grin-   That's just the coffee cup, which comes with our dishes.  He wanted a different one, for his afternoon coffee, so we found one this morning.  We'll see how it "fits."  

Yes, we lead a very quiet life...  -gigggles-  When we can get *hepped-up* about Kitchen Gadgets!

When one can only eat Goat Cheese, one keeps looking for new and different kinds of it.  Found this Maple Chèvre.  Nice...  And there is also Goat Cheddar Cheese to be found.  That's got a *punch* to it!!!! 

Just some bubbles in the Bird Bath Fountain Pond, on a very hot afternoon...

And last but not least.....

Whoooo-hoooooo!  According to park rangers in New South Wales, Australia, dozens of giant, fluorescent pink slugs have been popping up on a mountaintop there.

I'm not a slug lover but!!!  Wow!  What a gorgeous addition to a garden?!?  -giggggle-
