It was very warm today but it was a beautiful day anyway. After Mass we went to the garden store and I got a new planter and Leo got some bug spray and we got a new birdhouse.... now I have the three we were planning on this winter. Leo is painting the post and then I will show a picture after he gets it put in place with the other 2.
I read 2 more books this week and today I made a couple of pot holders.... Rick asked for a couple when he was here today and I gave Shari 3 on her birthday and Julie's birthday is coming up so I will probably give her some too and then there is Mindy with her new house that she and her friends are renting in Oshkosh.
The books I read this week are "The DAys of Summer" by Jill Barnett and the other one is "Digging to America" by Anne Tyler. they were both fast reads ...... good summer time books for reading on the porch or patio. Maybe I can get 2 more tomorrow.... :) between reading and crocheting I can keep busy ~ with watering the plants and cleaning the house etc..... It's beginning to be a nice summer.
My neighbor called me last night from the hospital and asked me to get her mail and paper for her... she is getting chemotherapy and she thinks she got a virus or something because she got diarreah and the doctors are trying to find a cure for it. so far she has been there 3 days..... I'm praying for her. She is so tiny and she said she is very weak..... sure hope they find something for her soon.
The kids in the neighborhood are playing around with fireworks..... 16 year old type of kids (boys) and We are all keeping our eyes out for our houses.... sure wish they would find somewhere to go besides tormenting the neighborhood... So far today it's quiet.... guess the parents are home.... last night they weren't. Sometimes I think 16 year old boys need supervision more then little ones do... Not my kids though because they were perfect angels..... haha I was always home though so they probably caused problems somewhere else...... I did keep a pretty good eye on them though..... most of the time :)
Hope everyone is having a nice 4th of July week end so far, Sandra

Your pictures are great. I love that planter. Nice to see you as I haven't seen what you look like before. A great picture you made I must say. Hope you and your family have a nice Fourth. Helen
I agree on the fireworks thing...we have them going off left and right around our neighborhood. It sounds like you've had a wonderful day. It was busy here, hot humid and partly rainy too. I'll say a little prayer for your neighbor too! 'On Ya' - ma
I think parents should be around when they play with matches!!! lol Really...we have had them going off around here today and the last time I had to get the law over here because little kids around four or five had them with no adult supervision!
Glad you had a good day...I love to read but the older i get the more I doze off while doing it! lol
Love ya,
Carlene

Nice pic of you sis...I added it to my summer b board
Hope you have a nice July 4th. It's getting really hot isn't it? It's 96 today here in middle Tennessee.
You must read a lot if you got 2 books read in one week.

Hi Sandra, Happy 4th of July! What a great photo of you with the new planter, you certainly know how to make your flowers look lovely. I do hope your neighbour will be well soon, what an terrible time she is having.

There must be some trick to get the pictures to show; usually after about the third time they come up. I heard there is a nice one of you with your new pot. Also wondering if the Anne Tyler book is a new fiction one. She writes good books. Sorry to hear about your little neighbor. Chemo is bad enough without the virus. I guess I'd be a little nervous too if there were teenagers lighting off firecrackers, unsupervised. Especially where the houses are close together. I hear alot of fireworks, but they're all pretty far away. Anyway, hope you're having a nice holiday. Angel
Ahhhh, Twinkie does look relaxed. :-)
I like your planter it's very cute and I'm sure you'll find the perfect spot for it.
I agree with you about the 16 year olds. We had some out in our neighborhood with firecrackers and it was unsettling. You just never know what they are going to do. They do need supervision.
