good evening...

'what do you mean, "I'm full." ?'

yeah, you're full and sleepy...
and you need your face washed...

they are good babies...

sleeping long periods of time...
still not pooped yet...
but that will happen as much as they eat...

and I went out and filled the bird feeders tonight and turned around...

and the petunias are growing pretty on the other side, too...

its funny that the plants on the inside are trying to get out...

and the honey suckle on the outside is trying to get in...
;0)

DH is keeping his eye on the first pepper...

mums in July...
sure won't be as pretty this fall...
but I can always buy more...

day lilies have less than a week to go...

but the roses will go on until it snows...

I LOVE my yellow knock out and can't wait until it gets as big as the others...

just another day of babies, bottles and naps...
just one more day for DH...
and then he's mine for a week...
and the babies have awakened, so off I go to heat their bottle...
later!

we got babies...

got three in today...
hungry...

the other two are black with white spots on their tummies...
12 days old...
mama came up missing...
coyotes?
so, we have them until they are weened...
another month...

and I did get supper on the table...
and a couple loads of laundry...
took a walk after supper and that's been about it for the day...
hope you had a fun one...

the front moved through...

and not a drop of rain...
good thing we have a hose...

it was cloudy this morning when I was out walking around...

the bottoms of the tomatoes have dead leaves on them...
probably all those 50 degree nights...

they will probably all come on at one time...

Craig is getting off in about 15 minutes and DH will be an hour later than that...

so getting this done early, before they get home...

its still a bit muggy out there...

windows are closed and the air is still on...

this is that little plant that came out of no where...
still waiting to see what it is...

I am having better days lately...

no news on the truck, which means they haven't gotten to it yet...

not sure on supper, but will do what we have here...
there is stuff in there to eat...

just a few more days and DH can start his vacation...
or homecation...

and there is plenty to keep him busy most of the time...
;)
I got me a list...
hee hee...
have a good night and better day tomorrow...
hugs!

got an early start this morning...

knock out roses are blooming again...

they have slowed down with the cooler nights we had...

it was a hotter and more humid day today...

mums...
so we went out to water early before the yuck happened...

another mum...

I dead headed the roses and day lilies...

one glad is opening...
they look terrible, but the wet weather and cooler temps are not good for them...
they tend to like it hot and dry...

this is where we planted the new iris...

and Craig got me watering them...

Charlie helped, too...

Craig walked back with the camera and got this of the bean field and the property line...
the neighbors let the weeds grow up, not us...

one of the knock out roses in the island has new growth on it and lots of buds...

the autumn clematis has taken a good hold and is doing really well...

we went for a walk, too...
most of the yards around here look like this after the last mowing...
but not ours...
thankfully...

Charlie is walking part of the time now instead of riding...

Craig grabbed the camera to get a shot of the beetle...
said it was the first one he has seen this year...
in fact, there are no japanese beetles anywhere here...
the winter must have killed them off...

tonight, before DH got home...
(he is working overtime)
Craig made HIS supper and sat down to the table...
so, here he is, stuffing his face...

and this is what I had...
nothing...
he didn't fix me a thing..
I pulled up a chair and pouted, trying to make him feel guilty...
he just laughed at me...
I felt so loved...

but this was worth the wait...
this is what DH and I had...
;)

I hope you had a good day today...
storms and a cold front moving through in the early morning hours...
we should have some nice days for the next week or so...
;)
fair week is next week...
and its always so stinkin' hot...
but not this year...
low 70s...
hard to imagine wearing a sweatshirt if you go in the evening...
but I will take this weather over any other, any time...
;0)
home alone tomorrow afternoon...
will probably nap or something important like that...
