Hi angel friends! :) my family and i are thinking of you all, and we hope everyone is doing well, and enjoying a peaceful day :) The countdown to September has began, as we blossom into the new week :) it's amazing, how September arrives on friday :) There's some happy birds singing outside, and i've been seeing squirrels in the yards across the roads :) we've had some nice cool crisp mornings, as the sun is rising up, i've began to notice a change in the positions of the sun, during the early mornings. in our kitchen window, the sun is rising up in the middle of the window view now, and our shed is getting more sunlight during sunrise hour. It's signs of nature, that the seasons are on their way to transitioning soon, from summer to fall :) We'll be ready to welcome the new season :)


i love going outside, for my nature walks, and when i come in, i open up my window here in my computer room :) it's been nice and cool in the mornings, and i see and hear lots of birds :) our sunflowers in our front yard, are growing wild :) we have some that have blossomed, and new ones blossoming :) it's wonderful to see the sunflowers smiling at the sun, and us all :) We love to see a wave of new morning glory flowers blossoming each morning :) It's been a big blossoming season for the morning glory's :) We have some 4 O'clock flowers blossoming :) i've been giving the plants some nice waterings, to keep them replenished :)


As September approaches, it's so nice, thinking of lots more nature joys to look forward too :) We're about a good month away, from the trees changing colors, fall harvests :) i'm very excited for our popcorn plants doing so well :) the plants are growing at different stages, some i planted earlier than others, and very soon, i'll be able to harvest some popcorn cobs to dry, to make popcorn :) we have 4 cobs growing, along with smaller cobs beginning to grow :) i add more soil to the planters that need more soil :) When i see this straw like part of the plant growing, it's a sign that a new popcorn cob is growing :) it's awesome cool, and such a fun experience, growing popcorn :) i've been enjoying some nature walks today, seeing birds flying over our house :) i did hear the geese last week, and when we went to the dollar tree, the geese were flying over the shopping center :) i hope the geese fly over our neighborhood soon :) i'd love to take pictures, and maybe make a video of it :)


my family and i have been doing well :) my mom's eye is healing so nicely :) she has an appointment tomorrow, to get her eye checked, and may get her next eye surgery scheduled :) i'll keep everyone updated :) my mom's hoping for an early september, surgery date, to get her 2nd eye taken care of :) my dad's been doing uber driving, lyft driving, and also working at domino's during the evenings :) the kids are going back to school, on wednesday, for their big back to school for the new school year :) they've been getting their back to school supplies, all set :) it feels like that time of the year, back to school time, and September approaching :) We look forward to blossoming into the new season with everyone :)


CHECKING IN ON OUR FRIENDS IN TEXAS. i've been checking in, on our friends in Texas, who have been affected by the awful stormy weather, and flooding. on sunday evening, we heard from Judy (Tipperspal), She, her husband Danny, and their pets are ok. Today, Sylvia (1tater) wrote me, they are ok, and safe, in their new home, but Sylvia mentioned her condo flooded, and the city of Houston is devastated. We are relieved that friends are ok, and safe, and are keeping everyone there, in our thoughts, prayers, and in our hearts. wishing everyone much comfort, and safety. i'm so thankful we heard from our friends. to know they are ok, it's a huge relief.

Burgundy and Gold Sunflower :) it's blossomed near our snowball bush :) This sunflower was growing right under the bush area, and i helped it be able to grow more, by moving some of the snowball bush branches to the right, so that the sunflower had growing space :) The sunflower is smiling at us all :)

HI Chris What pretty pictures. Love the blue jay. If he is anything like the ones we have here, he is a noisy little bugger!! Our blue jays are so noisy. The sunflowers are so pretty. Nature is so wonderful this time of the year, with the pretty flowers and all the things we are able to harvest this time of the year and have fresh. Evenings are getting a whole lot cooler here and it is to the point where you need a sweater to sit on the deck in the evening. We even had to put the windows down on the sunporch. It was really chilly out there this morning. Have a great week and love to you and your wonderful family.

Thanks, Chris, for sharing your photos. I love the sunflowers, you have several varieties. I love the morning glories. That Jay looks like he didn't appreciate you taking a photo of him. I had a rough day at work today, so I enjoyed looking at your flowers to take my mind off the crap that went on today.
