Summer Simplicity

Well nothing much is going on - but this is a good thing, don't you think?  Sometimes life gives us way too much drama and not having any is often welcome!

I do want to thank everyone that takes the time to leave a comment - I so enjoy reading your comments and hearing your similar stories!  The past post gave me some comments with some good laughs - So thank you for taking the time to even read my adventures in blogland!  I started this basically as a way to keep track of myself and share some things with people and have been having fun reading your blogs also! So thanks again for taking the time to read about my "uneventful" life!

Not much going on around here lately.  It's been hot and humid and raining often - This is a good thing I suppose - things are starting to turn green again - i was getting tired of the dried and brown!   Our tomatoes on our deck pots are starting to turn red, there are cucumbers growing and even the cantaloupe plant is taking off - I even got to pick too peppers the other day and they are now swimming around in a pasta salad i made yesterday!

Last Monday I ventured out towards Lancaster and did my normal of stopping here and there.  One of my last stops was at a farmhouse that had some cut flowers for sale in buckets.  Some bright yellow sunflowers caught my attention so I purchased all they had.  I came home and unloaded my car from the days purchases and didn't go back out to my car until Tuesday evening at which time I saw my sunflowers sitting on the floor of my backseat!  I completely forgot about them!  Geez I didn't know I would be losing my memory this young! haha!  Brought them in and tried to revive them - Wednesday morning they were still wilted so at a suggestion from some of my AAPG friends I am trying to dry them.   Let's see how well I do since I"m not very good at any type of gardening - maybe I'll do better with the dead flowers?  Here's some pics of week one! (Internet said to hang them upside down for about 2-3 weeks)

Here's what Riley has been up to...

Napping under the ceiling fan....

Remind Mom to finish this rug... She's been working on this the past year here and there - she waits and saves her short pieces of worms (I love her worms) and hooks them into this - I help her by making sure the rug doesn't fall off the frame - I think it will work as a floor mat!  Come on Mom - get it whipped so I can check it for nap comfort! 

 

Trying to take another nap under the ceiling fan... Oh bother, brothers can be such a pain sometimes - It's way too hot to play double decker bus...

I know, I know, I shouldn't show you these pics.  Normally I don't want my "brothers" (big pests if you ask me) within a 100 feet of me - I got this mean growl for them - but I was so tired of the heat I couldn't help it - I guess this Jonesy dude isn't that bad - besides he doesn't snore so I said he could stay..

Ahhh a summer afternoon nap...

Jonesy has been up to...

Every morning while Mom is on the internet I take a nap on her lap - I love my Mom and Me time - she rubs my belly and ears...

Can you believe it - I am so excited - Mom got a package of dish towels - she said hers were really bad and she really needed them - well they had the coolest toy wrapped around them - can you image - this cool cloth ribbon - I have been having so much fun with it - Every time Mom walks upstairs i run to the bed and we play "string" - I love chasing it and finding it when Mom hides it under the blanket and the laundry - It's just so cool!  I really can't believe they put such a cool toy around stupid dish towels!

So that's basically what's going on around here!  Nothing much - just hanging around!

Yesterday we did have some unexpected fun. Well okay - the three boys above won't agree but I had the fun.  My husband calls me upstairs and said there is a little kitten on our deck.  Well you could have seen puffs of smoke on my feet running down the stairs!  Of course the kitten wasn't there when I got down there.  My husband said he ran under the deck - So I went out and sat in the grass and there he was right under the deck.  I started a little game with my hands and got him playing and then he came out - and then i see there were two - They are sooooooooooooooo adorable - probably about 3 months old!   I finally got the little orange and white tiger to let me pet him and ran in and got a kitty toy and we played for a good hour - I couldn't get the little white one (female I believe) to trust me!   Well throughout the night I kept looking out and they were playing on the deck and on the railing - on the grill - in the tomato plants, so cute.  I put some water out there for them since it was sooooo hot - I figured they would go home for food but this morning they were sound asleep on the chairs on the deck.  I don't know if they forgot how to get out (our yard is fenced) or what - so we opened the gate and I guess it was there Mom came in and marched them out! It was too funny!  Anyway here is some pics I took of the little cuties...

The little orange tiger striped was of course the biggest ham!  I so wanted to keep him and if he comes back, who knows!  Wait I can't do that, can I? 

Hope everyone has a wonderful drama free week!
