There were over a dozen butterflies on this flower , yesterday when we can home for our lunch. This is a flower I bought at Horton's, I do not remember what it is. I am so glad the butterflies love it.
This is a hibiscus, I think. It was across he street for my grandson's house. It was a huge plant and very pretty. I heard lots of song birds and saw many butterflies while Ted and I worked on Jake's porch. I will post about that later.
We went to Big Lots one day last week. I wish I had bought these lanterns...they were decorated for autumn, but I think you could change that out many times . Great decorating items. I may go back this coming week and check out the price .
So many cute things. Isn't this a sweet pillow? :):)
I love the colors on this sign. There were typical autumn colors of rust , yellow and orange...then there were these pale greens and cream colors.
This is a pumpkin topiary, in a white urn. This would be so cute on a porch. Or even inside.
Many cute hand towels. Love those pumpkin pillows.
Candles, ceramics, wreathes.....don't you love it.
Here was a nice country type sign, which I liked.
A tractor pumpkin too. I guess we may as well look at fall décor as it is coming around the bend. Today does not make me think fall outside. It is extremely hot today. Our state fair is open and running for a couple weeks. Hope everyone drinks plenty of water.
Speaking of hot... I would like to ask all of you to please pray for those in the fires out west. Send good wishes, thoughts or prayers... let's not forget everyone there and the brave fire fighters. Thank you. so much. XO
I hate those terrible fires and I'm praying for everyone there. It's scary to hear about the fires in Texas now too. LOVE what you saw at Big Lots. We have one close by and I haven't been in a long time! I guess I'll go now! teehee! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I had heard of the Texas fires. So scary. Praying for all.
DeleteI do get into Big Lots that often and I was surprised at the cute decorating items. I am going to look at those lanterns. :):) Blessings dear friend, xoxo, Susie
Fall is on my mind right now, too...pretty photos, Susie! I think your flowers are a zinnia variety...my favorite flower!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I thought it could be a zinnia or some kind of daisy. I love zinnias toos, they come in pretty color. When I was a kid, the couple across the street would have a big beautiful garden and the wife grew a row of zinnias on the west side. So she had good food and pretty flowers.:) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGreat minds think alike Susie. I went to Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree browsing at the new Fall decor/items this morning for an upcoming post! Big Lots has a lot of nice Fall themed items/decor! I've kept those affected by the fires in my prayers.
ReplyDeletePilar, I was kind of amazed at all the stuff Big Lots had that was decorating. I will try to get those lanterns, I think I would use them all the time.:)
DeleteThank you for the prayers. I know I have complained of the weathers' heat and there's others caught in fires, I feel ashamed. Some times all we can do is pray and donate to causes. Bless you honey, xoxo, Susie
Crazy to think that fall is not all that far away, Susie. I love Hortons and hope to get back and meet you there if I get down to Mindy's this fall.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the firemen and people in the west in my prayers. So sad and scary. xo Diana
Diana, I too hope you can get away this fall to Horton's. It would be great to have some time to visit. I know you are helping with the business, but you know the boss right? LOL Can't send him to his room like old days. LOL.
DeleteThanks for the prayers. I know you are good for that. I feel everyday there's new things to pray about, it is a scary world. Praying give me strength. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Big Lots is a jewel for sure. Love it when they bring out the seasonal things and it is hard to resist buying a lot. Prayers go out for those out west....a terrible tragedy. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI do want to check out those lanterns...some times once I go back for something, if I have waited long enough, it's gone or I change my mind. LOL Meaning I did not need it. Thanks for the prayers. Many things to pray about. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful flowers. The first ones to me just look like little daisies and I don't know their name! I just like them. I think the second one is hardy hibiscus and my flower friend could tell you for sure because she has them in her yard. They come back every year. The fires are horrible and I would hate to think of our son out there fighting those. All those men belong to someone who loves them and is fearful for their lives. Praying for each one and the people out there.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I thought that flower was a zinnia or daisy. The butterflies love it. That makes we wish I had more of them. :):)
DeleteI think of the fire fighters and wonder how they can go on and on. You are right everyone has a loved one. I am praying the fires can be put out soon. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
Wow that is all at big lots. We do not have one near but I think there is one down by my daughters so I might have to check out their fall stuff. Looks like some cute things.
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday.
Hugs,
Kris
Kris, I was not expecting such pretty fall décor at Big Lots. I love those pretty pumpkin pillows with the muted colors. They had some cute welcome mats also.:) I you get to the store near your daughter's. Blessings to you , xoxo, Susie
DeleteThese fires are so horrible! The loss of life or risk of injury to those involved are terrible but I also think of how sad it is to lose your home to a fire of any kind.
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty cream and green farmhouse pumpkin sign! I don't want to wish summer away but I will be ready for fall when it comes!
Dewena, You sound like me...I want to cling to summer...it took long enough to get it. Little did we know it would be such a scorcher. Fires and floods are awful. We just have to keep praying. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is hot here too. I am not ready to think about Autumn. I am hanging on to Summer even if it is hot.
I am praying with you for the fires and firefighters.
xx oo
Carla
Thank you Carla. There's power in prayer.
DeleteI want summer to go on till December. LOL. I do not like the cold. This heat drains my energy quickly...it's also age. LOL. Hope you are having some fun times with your sons this summer. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
I must get to Big Lots, love all the fall decorations. Your flowers are lovely how nice you had so many butterflies, I have not had that many butterflies this year. Prayers for those out there in the fires, and for those brave men and women fighting them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sue
Thank you Sue. Fire fighting has to be so exhausting. Those are very brave people. Our prayers can help them .
DeleteI have seen more Monarch butterflies this year than I have in the past few...so that is a good sign, they may be coming back. Blessings, I will,visit your site. xoxo, Susie
Praying hard for those people. They've had it rough all summer. I love your flowers and Horton's is such a neat store. I've already got some Fall décor on my porch. It's my favorite season. Hope you enjoy your week. Hugs and Love. xo
ReplyDeleteSusie, I hope you visit Linda of Linda's Life Journal...she loves fall so much. You have to see all her decorations. She is a country girl with a big heart.
DeleteYou are right. The west has suffered all summer.Our prayers can help them. Thank you for yours.
Hope you are doing well today. I have had a lazy day today...needed it too. :) Blessings sweet friend, love you, xoxo, Susie
Thank you Susie. I will visit her. Thanks also for your prayers. Yes the diagnosis is right this time. I've known for a long time my adrenal glands were going down cause I've suffered so bad. I now have to take Hydrocortosone but it's kicking my butt also. My cortisol bottomed out when they did the Stim Test last week. So I've got to get a medic alert bracelet and work through these steroids and pray for the best. Love you sweet friend. xo
DeleteI am praying each and every day for the people who lost their loved ones and their homes and of course the firefighters.
ReplyDeleteIt is hot but I am not complaining as I know this is going to change too.
Take care of yourself.
Munir, Oh my, I have wondered about you so many times. I hope you are well and having a good life. I hate losing track of my blog family.
DeleteThank you for the prayers for those out west...it's so sad and scary.
I am loving summer ..even though the heat works me over. LOL. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
Oh my goodness! We have a Big Lots and I've never been in it.....Looks like I need to pay it a visit there's some really cute stuff in there! Fires are such bad news! We have some going on in our neck of the woods too and those brave firefighters are never far from my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSaimi, I have been praying while watching the news even. I hate those fires. Prayer is all I can do from here for now. Stay safe there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh I just love it all, don't you? Especially the colorful dish towels and that pumpkin topiary. Hard to think of Fall, true, it's awful hot here and will be for months yet. Hope you had a great weekend and I sure love all your pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbi. We got rain last night, the stormy kind...more today and into Wednesday . We need it those spots in our lawn have been making me nuts. Funny thing Debbi, I took pictures of all that fall stuff and never looked at the prices, only the barn shaped sign. I want those lanterns. :):) Blessings, stay cool. xoxo, Susie
DeleteThere is a Big Lots near my cottage and I'm headed up -- if they have those lanterns, I am s in! All cool things you shared.
