The soy beans are so pretty right now. They wave in the breeze and look like a sea of green.
Today I tried to stain the deck by myself. Wowwee...it's too hot at this time and I am wore out. I have the posts and rails done..not the banisters though. Then there the skirting and flooring. This might be a week long project. LOL.
It has been more like summer for about ten days now. Hope all of you are enjoying this weekend. XO
Oh the weather has been perfect! It's been, "settin' on the porch watching the sun go down sippin' wine weather." I've been on two different porches, 4 times this passed week. A wine porch and a beer porch. After the long expensive week, those porches were appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBoston Boy, These kind of days almost make up for two months of rain. LOL It's been so pleasant to be able to be outside. Porch sitting is wonderful with friends or family. I am glad you had some fun porches to sit on and enjoy being alive. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deleteyour daughter and grand daughter are beautiful!! The canning looks great all lined up, what an accomplishment,, I miss canning,
ReplyDeleteYou took some beauiful sky photos, and I have never saw soy beans in a field before,,its too short a season for them here,
Thank you Laurie. The nice canning jobs I have ever seen has been my aunt's. She's been gone for 25 years now. She could sew very well too. I miss her. We have had so many pretty days in a row now...it helps me feel like summer isn't over. LOL. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSummer is going fast.......we got a late start and now it is almost over. I'm plan to enjoy what is left. Enjoy the nice days as you can!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I am glad to read that you plan on enjoying every last minute of summer....me too. This week has truly felt like summers of when I was young. Hugs to you, xoxo,Susie
DeletePlease don't overdo in this heat! You can get really sick doing that! Be careful. Glad there is at least some wind...that really...really helps!

Gert, I know better than to keep going..I will pay for it the next day. I actually sat on the porch after going to my brother for a picnic lunch. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo glad you rested and had a good day. Picnics are so fun!
DeleteAugust is the best when you get the dog days of summer. I love the hot sunny days with just a bit of a breeze like you described, Susie. It's been rainy here. I hope your weekend is going well.
ReplyDeleteLove to you, my sweet friend.

Debbie, Even though I had plenty of chores, I know to space them. I stopped and had a picnic at my brother's for a b-day gathering. I want to take all this good sunny weather in...to think about when it gets cold again. :) Blessings to you , love you, Susie
DeleteI'm glad you are getting summer weather, Susie, but don't over do it! Enjoy those beautiful blue skies and sweet fields of greenery! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteCindy, After my work, I sat on the porch in the late afternoon to admire my little job and enjoy the quiet. That's when I say my prayers. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteWe've been pretty good, too, Susie. The humidity is frustrating. Still a good summer.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your comments!!

Blondie, If it would never get humid, we could enjoy the hot days more. I know I could. The humidity drains my energy fast. Hope you have a good week . Blessings for all of you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteGood Sunday Morning Susie. This past week has been about the same for us weather wise. It was nice to shut the air off and have a few days of open windows and the breeze coming in. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteKris
Kris, All too soon our summer will be gone. I love fall but dread winter. So I want to lap up all the sunshine I can. LOL. Blessings for a great new week. xoxo,Susie
DeleteReally hot here...take care on working outside...your deck can probably wait for cooler weather. :)

BJ, The year that Ted and I built that deck was a super hot one It took us about 10 days , it was so hot. I do like real hot weather..it's usually the humidity that drains my energy. So I take plenty of breaks . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Deletewe had such a horrible downpour here this week, the gutters could not even begin to handle it! Rain this am, which is fine keeps me from having to water. Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteIf we could get just enough rain to keep the lawn from turning brown...that would be nice. We have plenty of mosquitoes and sweat bees. LOL. Take care and enjoy your summer. xoxo,Susie
DeleteVery pretty photos, Susie. It's been very hot here the last two days. Please take care in the heat and don't over-do. I hope you are enjoying your Sunday. xo
ReplyDeleteMildred, My Sunday started as I saw the sun rise when I went to get the newspaper from the mailbox. I love watching the sun rise and set. It's cloudy now with a threat of rain. We need it though. I am not doing any more on the deck till Ted can help me. I just remember when we built it ...it took us 10 long days one July and it was super hot. Actually staining a deck should not be more time than an afternoon...if we both work at it. LOL. Hope John is doing better and you too my friend. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat's a lot of work staining the deck, Susie. It's been pretty hot here lately too. I look forward to seeing it when it's finished. I"m so glad you're getting blue skies and sunshine. You had all that rain and I bet you welcomed the sunny days.
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
Sheri, If I ever get that deck finished, I will show it.LOL...it's wet again from rain yesterday evening. Ted can only help me certain days. I am ready to get some things done around here. This has not been a good year for staying on top of weed pulling and flower planting and such. Hope you are doing better than I am. :):)Blessings, love, Susie
DeleteIt's just too hot and humid for me to be outside much and I'm not liking that at all because I love the outdoors. It's been a strange summer. Either it's raining or so hot you can't breathe. I haven't kept up with the outside gardening so well this year. Be careful out there in the heat! Hope you have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I never dreamed I would get worse in the heat as I aged...we just don't know till it happens some times. I never was a real hot temperature kind of person. It does drain your energy. You are right about all the reason we can't keep up...too hot too wet and lack of energy. LOL. Take care, blessings, xoxo,Susie
Delete100+ here all week! 106 today! I am yearning for FALL!!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I find myself melting in 80 degrees...so I would be a puddle in your temperatures. LOL. Stay out of that kind of heat, please. Blessings, love you, Susie
