It sure has been hot here the last few days.... 90 and above ...... too hot to do much in the yard. Last night we got a big rain and some areas got hail but we didn't. Just a hard rain. We needed the rain badly so we are not complaining. It might rain again tonight and we still can use more.... I was only outside for a little while today. About a half an hour working with my flowers and then some time reading under the umbrella on the patio..... I just finished reading two more books I got on a 7 day loan at the library Saturday. they weren't big books but both were good. The first one was "Star Lake Saloon" by Sara Rath and the other one is "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahern.... she is the 24 year old daughter of Irelands Prime Minister.... I never read a book like this before but it was interesting..... very good! If you get a chance you should read it.... Now I'm going to read a book with stories by Mary Stewart.... I hope some are stories I haven't read yet. It's a big book so I have it for a month....
My other next door neighbors had their house for sale for one week and they sold it already. They were very nice neighbors for 9 or 10 years and will hate to see them leave. Cathy told me the lady that is buying her house has 3 children ~ the youngest 11. Sure hope they aren't sassy boys like our other neighbors are.... Only time will tell. I can just hope for the best though can't I?
The pictures are just of some of my flowers I thought were pretty today.
Have a nice evening, Sandra

My Morning Glories got to the top of the arbor today. I planted different seeds there this year, forgot what they were already, anyway, the Morning Glories still grew. My honesuckle vine is so huge against the fence this year. I'm thinking of pruning it back and putting it by the big tree stump. The trouble is I don't know if the roots would get hold there but I bet it would look nice. Your flowers are very pretty as usual. I see we're headed into another storm tonight, I was a little uneasy last night as the winds were so strong.
I guess that's why they call it the lazy hazy days of summer - we are supposed to slow down and take it easy ! Your flowers are always so beautiful ! We might get some rain tonight - we need it too ! The heat dries things out in a hurry. 'On Ya' - ma
LOVED THE FLOWERS....YOU CAN EVER KNOW WHAT KIND OF NEIGHBORS YOU WILL GET, BUT ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST....SOMETIMES I WISH I HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THE NEXTDOOR HOMES! LOL
LOVE YA,
