Sourdough Bread Day

 

Yesterday I made bread. Today was another school day.

Still a lot blooming in the garden.

The hibiscus did really well this year. I am going to have to plant more of them.

Things bloom differently from year to year.

It is fun to see what will happen next.

I have a few things I want to change for next year already. Adding to the list as the summer comes to a close.

I hope you have a great week!

Pumpkin Walnuts

 They are really getting creepy looking. I think I am going to make little primitve dolls out of them.

I need to start working on them.  They will be for a Halloween garland.

I have to figure out when I am going to do this. 😂

I hope your weekend is going well.

I am enjoying mine.

Sunny Sunflowers

 

The sunflowers are about bloomed out for the year.

They are huge! 

10 to 12 feet tall!

Some are shorter.

They have been cheerful to look at all summer!

I am looking forward to the weekend!

I hope you enjoy yours too!

Back To School

Another school year is starting tomorrow. I am sad summer vacation is over.

But that is how it works.

I hope everyone enjoys their first week of school!

Tea For Two

My Mom had a tea cup and saucer and a sugar and creamer on a plate.  I decided to order another tea cup and saucer and plate so I could have enough for tea with the Princess.

My Mom also had a platter.

This set is Lord Nelson Pompadour made in England.

So of course I found all sorts of other items to go with this pattern.

I ordered a condiment lidded cup/saucer.

You never know when you might want toast and jelly with tea right?

Or maybe honey.

Anyhow, the Princess was over the other day and I got the tea set out and we had tea.

She starts 4th grade next week! She is such a joy.

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

I am so glad she enjoys tea parties still.

It is something my kids always enjoyed.

It was a daily event in the afternoon.

I think they just liked the sugar in the tea and the treat that went along with it.

Either way it was always a fun time.

So at least the tradition continues.

Have a great Thursday!

I found the Coolest Thing!

It was right in front of me all summer and for some reason I never saw it.

We must have walked by it a hundred times.

To be fair it was a ways up in the tree. But, just hanging there. Like a beacon!

I was talking to my brother after we walked this morning and I saw it. I took a picture and didn't look at it until I went in the house. Then I called my brother and said oh my gosh it is honeycomb! Right in his driveway hanging from an oak tree!

I was very excited. He said he would cut it down for me. There were no honey bees and no honey.  I just wanted the combs for display. They are so beautiful!

My brother cutting down the limb it is attached to.

How cool is that? 

I am very happy!

I love nature.

My summer is complete!

New Buoy

 

My brother found this at the beach for me.

It is covered in barnicles.

I hung it up by my new beach area.

New Project update

This was today. You can see they are already starting to wrinkle.

Hopefully they will be all dry in a couple months.

I also baked bread today.

It was a nice day today under 100 degrees.

Hope you had a great start to your week!
