It's been a SweetCheeks kind of afternoon...

some of you may ask- "What is a SweetCheeks?"

well, I'll get to that in a minute...

I need to explain why I'm not sewing right now...

after the last post- we did lunch- late...

so at 2pm, Craig didn't think I would have time to locate all the parts needed and have it done before supper...

I sew at the kitchen table...

so we went back outside...

and the wind was blowing!

can you see it?

but before I get ahead of myself again...

these photos are from right after lunch...

and I wanted to show you my tomato plants...

and Robbie playing prairie dogs...

Craig finishing up the trim mowing...

but trying to tell me he was out of gas and couldn't do anymore...

knowing the can was full...

he can't lie to me...

he laughs when he tries...

even Bebe knew he was bogus!

so he finished and I took photos...

and we were both tired...

so we came back in and napped...

then we had lunch...

nixed the idea of digging out the sewing machine...

and went back out...

now this is where the SweetCheeks part comes in...

who is she?

she is the 4 year old tennis racket swinging, opera singing bundle of fun that NanaDiana calls granddaughter, that's who...

so here comes the funny...

it's been a tooting afternoon for me...

sausage biscuit Saturday and tons of cold medicine and ibuprophene yesterday is playing around with my IBS today...

so it has been a good day to be outside...

SweetCheeks toots when she laughs...

I toot when I laugh...

when I bend over...

when I cough...

and sometimes, just because...

which makes Craig roll his eyes...

and say bad things to me...

like "Nursing Home"...

so he took me for another walk...

and the neighbor dog, Tucker, who is huge!

who loves to lick my armpits-YUCK!..

is loose...

and his dad is at work...

so he comes  up to us...

I pet him a couple times...

and that ungrateful mutt...

cute doggie...

hikes a leg...

and just misses my leg and foot and gets my wheel chair!

our neighbor thought it was funny...

Craig thought it was funny...

I laughed, but for the life of me...

I couldn't toot on that doggie like I wanted to...

so, we take him back down the street and Craig walked over to his pen and he went right inside...

so we came back and pulled more weeds...

and washed the chair!

and then I could toot again...

so after the weed pulling and before we put this back...

I was sitting there taking photos and thinking about SweetCheeks and her toots...

and her giggling about it...

and I was wondering what she would have done if Tucker would have tried to pee on her...

the world may never know the answer to that question...

I was thinking I sure needed her tennis racket...

I thought it was funny when old Tuck tried to pee on Bebe and Robbie...

or a water bottle so I have a fighting chance...

wading boots may be another option...

I am so glad he missed my leg...

I am not going anywhere else today...

just in case the Karma thing is happening...

but for the life of me...

I don't ever remember peeing on anyone...

ever...

well, that's all I have to say about that...

the air is so thick, you could cut it with a knife...

it's 83, but feels like 90...

and we have been dodging storms all day-so far...

the island is filling in but could use a few more things...

this was on my early morning walk...

before breakfast...

I looked out and thought I had better get it in while I could...

I need some larger plants in here next year...

just need to do some planning and think about what would do the best here...

the skies were dark all around, but we didn't get any of the rain...

and once, the sun tried to come out...

but it didn't last long...

the walnut out front...

I am so glad the squirrels planted so many of these around...

I have been drawn to pink and white this year...

I change every year on what I like...

one year it was yellow and purple...

that looked good, too...

dusty miller...

sometimes, I don't do this at all...

but this year...

it's overboard...

my spider plants are really taking off...

all they wanted was out of those dinky pots...

I used to have so many of these in hanging baskets all around the deck...

when we had a deck with a roof on it so I could hang things up...

these were moved later this morning to hang in the side yard...

petunias are blooming again...

the pansies have lasted longer than I thought they would...

may have to bring them inside when it gets too hot for them...

they are just a happy little flower...

with so many different colors...

the snap dragons are getting ready to do it again...

they were so pretty when I brought them home...

can't wait for it to happen again...

begonia...

just love this plant...

I love the variation of the colors...

after breakfast, we went back outside...

puttered...

then back in for a nap...

thinking it was going to rain...

but nothing...

should have kept puttering...

got the kitchen floor mopped by hand this morning...

washed the bottom cabinet, stove, dish washer and fridge while we were down there...

smells like Lysol in here still...

I feel the need to do something creative today...

like drag out the sewing machine and see what happens...

I have curtains, peddle pushers to alter...

pillows to make...

can't keep half of my pants up anymore...

need to take some in...

there's a couple night gowns that the arm holes are too large for my tastes...

oh, the jobs are endless...

I think I remember where I put the foot peddle...

maybe...

if I can't find that...

I can always paint...

have a great day!

Love is...

and my DH does this so much...

especially when I am not feeling well...

he sneaks around so he doesn't wake me...

Joining Marydon for a Love Is love fest!
