what a weekend!

and it went yellow...

very yellow...

and it went there...

going yellow, too...

green beans...

and we have grass...

here and there...

the gully washer we got moved the seed around...

new swing...

DH got it on sale last night for $20...

spraying the frame today...

black...

this will go white later...

and the neighbor found these 2 in his garage yesterday...

Wingus and Dingus...

a little hissy going on around here...

been busy and been sick off and on...

working my butt off in between...

DH had 5 days off...

so different without Craig around, but he is having a good time in Canada...

things are going good around here...

nice a quiet...

really quiet...

have a good week!

he made it fine!

I have nothing ready to post...

but wanted to thank you for the prayers for Craig...

he made it safe and sound!

having a pretty bad day here...

feels like tummy flu...

woke up with it in the middle of the night...

DH is home on vacation and is taking care of me...

:)

prayers for Craig...

he is flying out of Indy this morning...

layover in Minneapolis...

and then onto Edmonton, Alberta, Canada...

will be there 2 weeks...

to meet up with Jody...

a girl he met online...

they have been friends online for 3 years...

this meeting it to see if there is something more than friendship...

in return, if there is something there...

she will come here for 2 weeks in the spring...

Craig has not flown before...

so this is really exciting for him...

I just hope he enjoys the trip there and his time in a new place...

Jody lives on a ranch with cattle, horses, bees and a couple green houses...

it there are no "sparks"...

they will remain friends...

:)

they have this all figured out...

DH took today off to take him to the airport...

and then the rest of the week...

he will have 5 days off, but the heat and humidity will keep us in most of the time...

I will be on "icky" mode...

only out in the early mornings and late evenings when its cooler...

and inside the rest of the time...

I will get a start on the fall house cleaning...

so when fall comes around, I will be outside without much guilt...

:)

stay cool, but still have fun!

here comes the heat...

gearing up for some in days...

but wanted to post on the morning glories...

I need these in other areas of the yard...

so will do what I did to get them  here...

just pull them out of the field in the fall and throw them here and there...

heat indexes are going to be triple digits...

there is plenty to do inside...

going to be packing Craig up tonight and getting to bed early...

they have to leave by 3am...

pray for his safe journey!

after 2 long days of work...

it was a good weekend...

we got to work on the side yard where the flooding had set us back...

got the little red wagon last week on an online rummage site...

painted this all black and got the extra pots scrubbed up...

this is where the huge azalea was...

DH dug the dead plant up and we are thinking a hydrangea in here when we find one...

we are pretty sure that's all we lost over here!

some things are delayed and just not bloom this year...

the rose of Sharon only has a few blooms on it this year, but it made it!

5 weeks + of standing water, so we are lucky to have anything left here...

grateful we are not having to start completely over!

there is still much to do...

and so many weeds!

tons of broadleaf!

but we picked one section and pretty much, stuck to it...

we got the holes filled and flattened as much as I could do with the riding lawn mower...

a ton of weeds and debris cleaned from the flower beds...

and sewed grass seed...

I bought this chair, too...

it was orange and painted it black...

got some really hot and humid days coming up this week...

watering will be t he priority...

and staying in as much as possible...

got some touch up painting done, too...

there is always more to do...

:)

we are both sore, but still kicking...

we didn't even get to the old garden area...

but there are tiny green beans on the potted plants...

and the tomatoes are growing...

a hard rain knocked off all the blooms they had on them...

gearing up for Craig's vacation to Canada...

Steve has to take him to Indy Wednesday morning early...

they leave here at 3am...

DH took Wed- Fri off...

I am sure we will be inside most of it...

:)

we can get caught up on the inside stuff and our naps!
