Time's up!


This is another one of those wonders...

Why am I crazed half the time?

I was told that I have to slow down.
How? 

The older I get, the less time I seem to have...

I talk to friends, they feel the same way. 
Humm...

Time-
All I know is that I never seem to have enough of it.

No, it's not disorganization. Or is it? 
I'll ponder that thought.

I've learned something from the grandchildren-

Just pretend. 
It's true!

I pretended that my laundry was done.
I pretended the grocery shopping was done.
I pretended my errands were done.

I love pretending!

Ha, it only took me two laundry loads to decide, the heck with it and start this pretending thing.
My subconscious kicked in and made it so!

I decided to play.

I went outside and decided to wrap myself in the glory of it being another scorcher of a day...

I pretended it was cool and in the mid 70's...

Here's what I saw through my trusty little Cannon-

 The yellow in this hibiscus bloom is the sunlight shining through it...

 Is that not a pretty blue sky behind the yellow bells? Oh, I'm in love with the yellow against that sky blue. 

Sparkling pool water...ahh

Faithful Lantana~

Love the rich green and bright yellow again...

Moss rose, or is it rose moss? It does not like it this hot. I like the part at the top against the amazing sky!

Hibiscus bush is thriving! Guess how tall it is?

I admit, forgot what kind of plant this gorgeous orange bloom is from, any thoughts?

Oh my, this little periwinkle is showing off! What a dazzling color!


Time's up!

Blog and go!

Fall In My Heart...

Summer into fall...
Since I can remember, I've waited for fall...
Waited for cooler weather-
and
Waited for cooler weather-
and
And yes...
 Waited for cooler weather!
98 yesterday-
97 today- 
Get this
100 next Monday!
(why do I even look??)
So, unless I move and that's out, I'll just make fall happen in my home and thoughts.
List of things to do asap.

Bring fall arrangements in.
Put fall placemats out.
Get some awesome smelling potpourri.
Put out fall pillows.
Plant fall flowers.
Keep AC on high.
Put capri pants away.
Put sandals away...well, maybe.
Wear sweaters and pretend.
Don rustic and jewel toned clothing.
Pretend our trees are changing colors, not just dry.
Smell the goodness in the air.
Bake, make soups and stews and roasts.
Listen to the band play on Friday evenings.
Read all that my friends in the NW and NE tell me about their weather and pout and pray.  Their heater going this morning, good grief!
Wait for the heat to pass. 
Wait some more...

 I dream of this...a road trip maybe?

Oh, I love these flowers, they will be on my table soon.
Now, if we have a fire going, I know I'll be ready to deck the halls! Woo hoo!
I'm waiting for that too. 

I'm really ready to deck the halls, I am! I could! Never too soon for me. I am one of those happy ones that loves Christmas decorations going up at Hobby Lobby, all of the malls, Walgreens, wherever-
Makes me so happy.
I admit it. The longer it lasts, the better.

Okay, I know we have a few other wonderful holidays in between now and December,
but, I can't wait! 

But, back to fall, I love fall.

Are we there yet?
Not quite, I'll let you know, 
but it's just taking way too long. 
Blah...blah...blah. 

Oh, I'd better watch out-

 Nancy

PS Has the heat caused this delirious state?

Oh, these girls!

They love it all~

Ballet, being cowgirls and fishing with their daddy~
and so much more! 

Life is grand, isn't it?



 





Makes me smile~

Have a great weekend!
