spent most of the day on the deck, out of the rain...

I went out after lunch...

someone was sleeping so hard, I had to check him to make sure he was still on this side of Heaven...

our big old boy, Hermie...

so, I grabbed a pillow and curled up with him...

and just snapped away...

I came back in and when DH got home, we went out for a walk and checked out the yard...

we hadn't gotten much rain at all...

it was still dry and cracked under the trees...

Craig landed briefly, headed out to the movies in Paris with Tia...

so, after supper, DH and I hit the deck again...

and Charlie...

and it was raining the softest rain...

no wind at all...

and Charlie and I played a bit before falling asleep...

spent the whole evening out there...

I am buying things cheap for the kids shopping night in December...

some lucky mom or grandma is going to get that lamp and snowman cookie jar...

need to start a tub for all this stuff...

and my morning ritual...

there isn't tea in there at all...

its Crystal Lite energy packets...

which I drink hot...

and my scrunchies for my hair...

for when I do my eyebrows or make up...

there might even be some change in there, too...

you just never know...

I need to get so much done, but just don't have the inspiration to do it...

and when I do, not the energy...

it already feels like the dog days of summer around here...

but, we do have baby green beans...

and should be picking within at least a couple weeks now...

and more blooms on the tomatoes this evening...

so, y'all have a great weekend...

enjoy the days without snow and ice...

and several layers of clothes...
