piddle fartin' away the day...

remember yesterday, Craig was painting this baker's rack...
long time ago, it was in my kitchen...
used it for the microwave and stuff...
you know, stuff...
but its been outside for a few years now...
after a brief stay in Doug's apartment...
it was always white...
but we had 3 cans of plum, or so we thought, when we started this...
the one can is a dark purple and its going back...
we need to get one more plum and two more celery and I think we have this painting thing under control...

so a few photos of what we put on here...

a new home for Peter...

and some smiling faces to greet visitors at the door...

some are a little shy...

babies hanging off of the spider plant...

and here she is...
our once green lawn is now brown...
more tan...
the weeds are even starting to die...
only a few sprinkles since Memorial Day week here...

Daphne over saw the transformation...

and I did some shopping this morning...
online garage sale and she delivers!
2 pillows for the bench and a black table cloth for later...

and I saw this this morning and thought of all of you...
you could do this with cookie dough for one huge cookie...
or the top of a pie...
how cute?
see, I know you are thinking of other things you could do with this idea...
like snowflake cookies this winter with round doilies...
yepper, the gears are turning fast now... 

and I love this...
soon to be on my sidebar here on the old blog...

well, I am piddle farted out, so heading into take a nap...
chicken tonight for supper with mashed potatoes and gravy...
cantelope for dessert...
and its really good...
chilling in the fridge until the big moment...
you all have a good day and enjoy the coolness of the 90s!


beautiful day...

busy day...
the last of the day lilies are blooming in the front beds...
the ones in the rest of the yard have a few more to go...

first thing after breakfast and a walk was weeding out here...

more like pulling dead leaves and twigs out...
we do not have very many weeds here...

years of pulling roots and all and never letting anything seed...

so much dead under growth from the heat...

sedum will be coming on soon...

then it was onto mopping the kitchen floor and back out to paint a couple of things...
using up what paint we already have...

the roses that bloomed last week were just scorched...
but there a few new ones with some color to them...

the late purchased snap dragons are loving the heat and blooming so well now...

the colors are fun, too...

a moment to play with Bebe and then back to work...

the glider went celery green...

and there's always time for a nap...

had another migraine hit in the afternoon and was down the rest of the day...
up now and its gone...
just did breakfast, but think I am heading back to bed...
in the 60s this morning...
the guys moved the baker's rack onto the deck last night after dark, so there's so fluffing to do out there today...
more cleaning and another load of laundry...
who knows what else we will get into...
should be another pretty day...
highs in the low 90s, but after the last few weeks, we can do that with no problem...

have a great day!
