Blue skies and puffy white clouds says summertime to me. We have had some gorgeous days here in central Indiana. With the crops all up and green ,in the fields. You know that old saying "knee high by the fourth of July"...well the corn is higher than that already.
Shot a picture of this red barn on the road to Liz's house. It's sits near the grain elevator in one of the bump in the road towns.
You have to slow down going thru these small towns. This signs says 30 , but not everyone goes that slow.
Isn't this just a beautiful view...you can see forever, on these crisp sweet days. Low humidity and sunshine . Love it !!
Can you begin to believe this...caught Emma doing dishes. I do not think of her when I think of household chores. LOL She did not want me to take her picture....what's wrong with children, they need to know they are young and beautiful . She was wearing rubber gloves too. LOL Oh love that girl. She's way taller than me, and I think she is still growing.
Back home on the porch. My containers are doing very well.
Ted's tomato plants are growing. He built a cage around them. It will be nice to see some tomatoes though. :):) I have a banana pepper in a pot near the porch. I need to get a picture of it for you. It has two nice peppers and the promise of more...but I have noticed the leaves are dropping off at the bottoms. Hmm??
This coming weekend is holiday time...almost 4th of July. Then the following weekend is Horton's French Market....hope my ankle is totally well by then.....because I am going anyway.
Wishing all of you a great day. Don't forget to smile. XO
We've had some beautiful blue skies and wonderful white clouds here also! Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteThere's been some wonderful weather going around...I wish it would stay the summer. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the blue skies and puffy clouds too and yesterday mentioned to DH as we were driving that all the cloud formations tempt me to take pictures and I already have so many!!! But they are always different. I also took a picture of the corn fields the other day. I love to see the green fields of corn. I hope you have a happy 4th of July. Your flowers are so pretty and so is your granddaughter. Mine are funny. Sometimes they pose and other times they hide. I'm smiling!!
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I just had to laugh about our pictures...yes I have a ton of sky, clouds,and sunset shots..but I love it all. I love when everything is green and looks so clean. I hope we all have good weather for our 4th picnics. We love our grandkids, don't we?? :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThis week has been perfect..70's in the day time...50's at night..Tomorrow we will be back in the 90's again..another heat wave..yuck
ReplyDeleteYou have had the same weather as we have had these past few days. It's so summer to me and the older I get the more I long for that low humidity...can't take the heavy heat. Hope the highs don't stay too long. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI just love puffy white clouds, old barns and old towns!
ReplyDeleteSlyvia, Our county used have some round barns...it's painted on the new mural of our theater...which I will blog about soon. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe weather has been really nice around here the past few days. I know the humidity is to increase and that makes me sad but I am thankful for the days that we have had.
ReplyDeleteCarol, This is the best weather in a really long time. We have had some truly hot summers so this has been so enjoyable. I do not do well in the heavy heat. Makes me slow. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove these beautiful sky photos of yours and the pretty pots of flowers and tomato plants. My mama loved hot pepper and would simply "flavor" her tomato slices with it (rather than actually eating it!) Love seeing the sights around your town. I hope your ankle feels better each day. You have a lot of fun things coming up to do! xoxo
ReplyDeleteMildred, I wish I had learned more from my parents about garden while growing up. I miss asking them things of their youth. My ankle is improving, it is a slow process. Blessings for a beautiful day . xoxo, Susie
DeletePretty cloud photos, Susie...our clouds have looked much like that in Minnesota, too. Love the great tomato cage your hubby built!
ReplyDeleteLinda, We must be having near the same weather. I love these cool mornings and evenings too. We can also open windows.:):) Ted had some of those wire things but they were not wide enough. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt's hard to believe the corn is that high already! And your flowers are beautiful. Love the cute pic of Emma! Tell her I still have her painting of me in my sidebar! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, My sweet Emma...makes me sad at times, as she grew so fast...well it certainly seems it was fast to me. I miss my crafting pal. I hope one day when I am gone from this earth , that she will recall our fun days. That girl stole my heart. Blessings to you and yours,love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour countryside pictures are so pretty. Don't you just love living in the Midwest?? I haven't been able to drive down to the farm to see how high the corn is. I always loved that old saying!! Your flowers are gorgeous!!! Sure hope Ted's tomatoes yield a good harvest for you!! Be safe this weekend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Gert, When I was young I never thought about change so much...now that I am aged, There's things I miss so much. Like my parents and all the trips I took to town...I rarely go just to be going. I hope Teddy tomatoes grows enough to share with my sisters. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe picture of the highway and fluffy clouds reminds me of Michigan. We just don't see that in the city but here on the Southside it doesn't take long to drive southwest into the rural areas and find that beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe garden looks so pretty!!
Enjoy your summer and I hope your ankle feels better soon!

Blondie, It is nice that you can escape the big city when you want...well most times. I am sure the traffic is less hectic. Hope your weekend is filled with family fun. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI like all your photos today. Mile after mile of corn...that's Indiana! Your porch container flowers are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen. Once I over heard someone in Florida say something...I told my girlfriend they are talking about Indiana. She says, "Oh how do you know?" I said , "because I heard her say something about cornfields and k-marts. " LOL We do have a lot of corn. :):) Blessings for a great weekend. xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour pictures are just gorgeous!!! And so are your flowers. The weather has been beautiful here in Missouri. Expecting rain tomorrow but we'll take it. Blessings to you sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteRobbin, We are having rain this evening and storms are predicted for tomorrow. But oh I have love the wonderful weather we have been blessed with. Still praying for you, your mother, family, and your young friend. xoxo, blessings, Susie
DeleteBeautiful, from Emma to the flowers and landscape. It's already warm here and I'm thankful to be going to the pool today.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Noreen
Noreen, I wish I could squeeze my Emma back down to a sweet little girl...just to hold a bit long. I guess I am being selfish.But oh I miss that funny loving girl. Hope you had fun at the pool. I don't swim any more but love to see the children romp at the pool. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteMy favorite skies are those filled with white, fluffy clouds! Love your pretty flowers on the porch. Robbin above was right about the rain, we're getting some as I write this. It's needed tho! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteCheryl, We did get cloudy but no rain yet and tomorrow it will storm. But I think we need just a bit. I have loved these sweet low humidity days. Oh boy wouldn't it be great to have a whole summer of that. :):) Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGood grief Susie..everything looks so green and beautiful...your garden is stunning....great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy. I have loved this past week so very much. Loved having the windows open. That great fresh air does wonders airing out the house. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSuch beautiful skies, Susie! Your flowers are doing so well, they look very happy.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, Hope you have had some great days there. It's been so very nice here. I have enjoyed the low humidity so much. I did get out in the yard some today. Watered ...even though it's to rain and possibly storm tomorrow. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour weather sounds like perfection. Send some this way, please. 😉
ReplyDeleteVee, I thin my beautiful weather must be headed your way...we are to get rain any time now and it's warmed up. We may get storms tomorrow..it's forecasted. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLove that red barn in the middle on nowhere, Susie. The clouds are so pretty - Yes, white and fluffy. That fourth picture looks like it should be in a magazine, it's awesome. Ted sure does take care of his home. I like how he built a cage around the tomato plant, great idea. There's nothing like home grown tomatoes. It sounds like you are enjoying these summer days, Susie. It's been pretty hot here, and just trying to stay cool. : )
ReplyDeletelove, ~Sheri
ps hello sweet Emma.
I love seeing red barns. made of wood also. Yes, Ted did a fine job on the tomato cage. Today I picked my two peppers..well they are for Ted . LOL I have been loving all these sweet days of Summer. It is so hard to believe how very fast this month passed by. I always hate for June to end. Hope you are going to have good family time this coming weekend. We are having a gathering at Angie's I will get photos. I may go to the zoo also. Blessings sweet girl, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteLove seeing your pictures, so different than my city scenes. I feel as though I'm on vacation. Hope your ankle is mending.
ReplyDeleteCarol, It is funny...I love your big city photos and you like the country ones I post. That is what blogging does for us, let's us see how others live. I love seeing others' vacation shots and daily lives on blogs. You have given us many wonderful posts of NYC and out of the way vacation spots. Love it. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the landscapes. I live in a city, and long for the openness that nature has to offer. I feel cooped up!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Hi Andrew, thanks for dropping by. I have a friend in Boston who think we look so wide open here in the Midwest. It's true. I always hope the big city won't take over...but I love to visit them :):) Blessings to you for a safe holiday.xoxo, Susie
