Time Flies

 We are done with our fourth week of school already. I can't believe how fast it has gone.

The garden is tired of the 110+ degree days.

I am too.

Here are some happy succulents that do like it hot!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Enjoy!

Back To School

Well the first week is behind us and we look forward to week number two. 

I was looking at the number of days I work on an email I got. 181 work days for me. Seems like forever until summer is here again. 

In the meantime I will be busy making sure the kids have lunch ready for them to eat. 

Today I baked sourdough for my family.

I am still using the bannetons. I think next time I will go back to the bread pan. 

For one reason it's faster. I can bake both loaves at the same time. 

They all taste the same. 

It's easier.😊

Anyhow nothing else happening here. It's been hot.  So mostly hanging out inside. 

I hope you have a great week!

Cloud Angel's

 This morning after my walk I looked up in the sky and saw four cloud Angel's. Of course by the time I got my phone out to take their pictures they had moved a bit. You can still see them though. I thought I would share them today with you.

Have a beautiful day!

More Hot and Humid Days

 I have to get out and walk my 2 miles early and then water my potted plants. It has been hot here as usual.

Today I baked sourdough. I have been trying the bannetons, but I really think I like the bread pan better.

Although I like the cuts I made in this one.

I might try the bannetons a few more times before I go back to the bread pan.

The only thing about using the bread pan is I can bake both loaves at the same time.

So that makes it faster and easier.

Just a couple weeks and school will be starting.

The end of summer vacation is coming faster then I want, but that is how it goes every year.

I hope you are enjoying your week!

Yard Art Makeovers

 The racoons broke my octopus the other night. It was shattered. I glued it back together, but decided it needed painting.

I had some silver colored silicone caulking to fill in cracks and holes so I used that.

Then I painted it.

The fish was not broken just faded for years in the sun, so I painted it too.

The temperature got up to 114 degrees last week and then we had a cooling down.

Now it has been cooler, but extremely humid.

I am staying busy inside.

I hope you are staying cool!

Staying Cool

 I made pizza rolls and dinner rolls and took some to the Princess and her brother.

Their parents are on a diet so can't have any. 

Pizza rolls are so easy to make. Basically same as cinnamon rolls.  Just add pepperoni, sauce and cheese and roll up and cut. I also made some chocolate chip cookies for them.

Before they rose and baked.

After they come out of the oven I brush them with butter.

They are really yummy.

I forgot to take a picture of them baked. I guess I was in a hurry to get them delivered.

The kids had a virus that wasn't covid, this past week so I didn't get to see them. I think the pizza rolls will help get them back in the swing of things.

The heat has arrived and tomorrow it is suppose to be 111+ here. I am hoping the weather man is wrong.

I will let you know how high the temperature actually gets after tomorrow. 😎 It is summer and it is expected, but I am never prepared for the heat.

Stay cool!

Hot and Smoky

 It is another hot one here today. Smoke from the fire down south is hovering above us, making it hazy outside. Not enough to keep me inside though so that is good.

 Although the smoke messes with my allergies, so I can't be out to much.

So another day of doing something inside.

Yesterday I did a make over on a frame I had. It was pewter colored and I made it bronze colored.

I added an old vintage greeting card as a picture. My Mom had a bunch of old greeting cards that I could choose from.

In this picture if you look closely at the greeting card it has glitter on parts of it. Do you remember how in the old days they put glitter on greeting cards? I do. I am that old!

They made things so pretty back then.

Anyhow,

here is how it looks.

In the 90's I loved the pewter colored frames. I had a bunch of them. I have a lot I don't use, so I thought it would be fun to paint it up and use it. I am happy with how it turned out.

I hope you are having fun today doing whatever you enjoy doing!
