We're all taking good care :) pacing ourselves with our garden tending, and making sure our nature friends are all doing well, with plenty of goodies, and water :) it's feeling like classic, summer time. Our plants are all doing really well, handling the very hot weather, very well. We gave our plants a good soaking with the water nourishment :) we limited the amount of time we spent outside, as it's extremely hot. We had a thunderstorm this early morning, with some replenishing rain :) We're enjoying some foods, snacks, lots of iced cold drinks :) i cooked zuchinni, with spices, and rice, with teriaki sauce :) We've got the sports radio on, and gonna watch our show tonight :) i'm enjoying some nice writing time :) i wrote a letter, and cards :) my writing area is looking so nice, glowing with summer time spirit :) We recieved some wonderful cards, from our dear and lovely friends :) i'm so excited to display them in my writing area :) it's very special to my heart :) i ordered a book of special postcards today :) i'm so thrilled to recieve them :) they're fun to write :) i recieved the US and International stamps i ordered on ebay :) i took some new pictures of our plants today, and also browsing at some collectibles online :) i'm so happy, to be feeling much better, beginning a fresh new week, with some simple joys :) We're so happy, thankful, and blessed to have you all in our lives, and to be able to share in the joys of the season with everyone :) We'll always be here for you all, our dear angel friends :) the summer season is in full swing, and there's so much more to look forward too :) Tomorrow's sweet treats tuesday! :) We look forward to going out to get some treats at mcdonalds :) Cheers! to summer time! :)

Happy blossoming into the new week! :) Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i are thinking of you all, and we hope everyone is doing well, healthy, and enjoying a nice day :) We love blossoming into the new week, with some simple joys :) We hope everyone is keeping cool, and hydrated :) it's another very scorching hot summer day. our heat index reached about 106 degrees here. it's mega hot! this morning, we recieved a surprise thunderstorm in our area. when i woke up around 5am, i was just beginning the day, and i heard some rumbling outside, and then saw lightning through the window curtains, along with louder thunder. the thunder, rain, and lightning went on, for about 50 minutes. It was a really good soaking rain, that helped to replenish the plants, and nature. we're in a heat wave here, it's very extremely hot outside. we're limiting the amount of time we spend outside, and mostly indoors, on days like this. We're keeping busy, enjoying the day to the fullest :)

i love going out for my early morning nature walks :) the weather had eased, and the skies cleared. :) i gathered a big b owl of goodies, and went outside for my early morning nature walk :) even though we had just recieved a thunderstorm, the air still felt very humid, and could tell it was gonna be another very hot weather day. i put lots of goodies, in our backyard, bird sanctuary area for our nature friends :) they love gathering the goodies :) their water bowls are filled out there, for them to keep replenished too :) we've been seeing lots of nature friends visiting our yard :) Holly and i spotted 2 red cardinals yesterday in the bird sanctuary area :) We love our nature friends, and the wonderful spirit of summer time nature :) The season is shining all around :)

Garden greetings! :) our plants loved the early morning rainfall, it was absolutely amazing the replenishing of the rain, and helps make our garden tending a bit easier, on these very hot weather days. our plants are doing great, growing absolutely sweet summer wild :) We have string beans, snap peas, zuchinni, and cucumbers growing :) we're going to pick our first cucumber this week :) i'm looking forward to making a cucumber sandwich ,and cucumber tortilla wrap :) it's gonna be so nice, enjoying lots more garden goodies :) we have different varieties of tomatoes growing :) lots of popcorn plants growing tall, jalapeno peppers, cabbage, and also our gourds and pumpkins plants are growing wild :) it's very neat, to see everything flourishing :) We're very proud of our plants, and garden :) it's a very special time in the season, as lots of flowers are blossoming, fruits and vegetables growing :) it's a great joy, all of the gardening, and nature moments, like seeing our nature friends visiting our yard, and garden :) we're cherishing, and treasuring all of the very special summer time memories being made :)
