Beautiful day

I guess its time I took more pictures again, huh? I will but I haven't gotten anything new to take pictures of lately. We had more rain early this morning and my guage said it was another 3/4 of an inch. Iam still not complainig though as we sure did need it... The trees must even be happy now I think. In our yard it is now 4 and 1/2 inches in 2 days. Not bad.
Our new neighbors seem to be busy yet. I guess that accident he had set them back a bit and they stopped moving the things out of those big boxes. I did notice though that there was a vase of flowers on the window seat by the front window so it must be getting better.
My poor little Twinkie got a swat by Leo yesterday for barking at something under the fence so he isn't going to that side any more. I made Leo promise me not to hit him anymore though as he is so tiny he may hurt him. Now he goes back to the other side and barks at their dog. LOL Charlie got out today too but I thought he would come right back because the grass was so wet ... not a chance. he was at the fence in two shakes... he really can run when he wants to. I got him back in in a few minutes though as I suppose he really didn't like being wet. He is a good cat but when I have to carry him back in the house he is pretty heavy and its a bit awkward carrying him back in the house.
I needed some exercise today so I went out front to trim some plants and pull some out and take care of a few weeds too. It looks better already. I like doing that but the sun was beating down on me and then it wasn't fun any more. Tomorrow its going to get cool so Monday I should be able to clean up the backyard. I like doing that especially after a nice rain.
Hope you are having a Great day today, Sandra

It was so hot here in Ga. today. he heat index was 110 degrees. Everytime I went outside at work today it was like going into a furnace. I will welcome fall, even if it does mean tons of leaves from the pecan trees! lol

I'm looking forward to doing some weeding and trimming later today !  I need lots more exercise!  It's supposed to be cooling down the beginning of this week- makes it easier to get out and do something!  Hope you're having a good weekend!  'On Ya'  - ma

Oh I agree.  I don't like working outside when the sun is so intense.  We have a heat advisory today so I am inside, for sure.  These days when I have outside stuff to do I try to do it at sunrise and get it over with.

Come on Fall!!!!!!

hi aunt sandra!

here's a trick to get your dogs to stop barking (because they don't understand why you are hitting them)  take a soda can (empty and rinsed out real well) and put 5 pennies (yes i said pennies) into the soda can.  it makes a nice sound LOL.
then when your dogs start barking again...shake the can at them (not to their level but just shake it a couple of times hard).  they will look at you and pretty soon know what it's for.  sometimes they cower away.  there's a dog at my job who kept barking and so i called MY vet to see what i could do to retrain her.  worked like a charm!!  try it.

hi to leo and gary.
