New Old Fountain

Happy Friday! 

It is always a day to celebrate when it is Friday! 

Especially when you work at school!

This fountain was on my front porch for 20 years.

I decided to move it to the angel garden. I painted it white.  It was in need of paint. 

Easy fix and now it is set up and running.

I added some water hyacinth to the bowl.

Thinking of Fall

The summer is fast becoming the past.

We had extreme heat, 119 degrees, this summer, which was not good for my flowers.

Let's see what is still blooming shall we?












To be fair, it is still a jungle in my garden. Just not a tame jungle. Things are wild and crazy. That is due to the fact that it was to hot to work outside most of the time. So, I have some catching up to do when I have time. It is suppose to be cooler this coming week, so hopefully I can get out there.
The first week of school is behind us and we are now coasting through the last week's of August.
September and Fall are in our sight! You know what that means. Pumpkins and witches and ghosts!  AKA cooler weather!  So enjoy your last month of summer and hang in there, because cooler weather is just around the corner!

It's also baby Charlotte's count down to arrival. I am going to guess she will be early. Due date is not until September 28th. My daughter is having contractions and is feeling miserable. So I am going to guess August 30th. I think that would be a good day.  If not that day then maybe the 11th of September. It is fun guessing isn't it?
Anyhow,  I hope you are having a great weekend. 
Enjoy!

Back 2 School

 It is that time of year again.  

It is just amazing to me that it it already that time.
My Granddaughter is in 5th grade and grandson is in Kindergarten.  The years have sure flown by. 
Soon a new Granddaughter will arrive.
Everyone is very excited to meet her. 
I'm looking forward to many more tea parties and fun on the garden beach.

70 days until Thanksgiving vacation. I know, we are counting down already. 🤣 
Believe me,  it arrives faster every year. Every year I plan to have everything ready. I never do. 
But, first we have Halloween and fall to plan for.  I put up a few things this past week. 
I usually wait till September to get everything out.  This year I am not waiting to start adding things to the house.
I am looking for oak galls
 They are big balls that hang on the oak tree branches. One year I made a halloween tree using them  It was really cool.  
So this weekend I will be searching the property for some oak galls for some Halloween/Fall crafts.
I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend!
