Still Summer

As much as the stores say FALL,  it's still summer here.

It will be for quite a while.

Today, it was 105*F.

Tomorrow, high 90's with thunder storms.

Yuck.

So, instead of wishing for fall,

it's time for me to accept the fact

 that  ~~ 

  Summer will be here for quite a long time.

So, in keeping with summer I changed up the kitchen garden window

with some bright summer color.

Yeah, the apples are too small.

Cause they're actually a garland.

I just like the color together with the

yellow plant hanger.

I'm not a house plant person,

so instead of keeping houseplants

here in the garden window,

 I use it for playing around with seasonal displays.

Just remember, I'm not really into decorating with any sort of

style.  It's just stuff that I like. 

   I had a plant.  It was a lovely African Violet, and in bloom when I received it.

It thrived for a while, then just plain survived, for years, with not another bloom.

It survived my neglect. 

Then I decided to actually take care of it.

I fertilized it.  Not even one week later it was dead.

 I am definitely not a houseplant person.

So anyway, I'll be away for several days.

Five of my friends and I are leaving at 5:30AM tomorrow (to

beat the heat and construction zones) on a road trip to Reno.  

I'm excited to have a girls trip with some really great friends.

Then when I get back, R will be taking the rest of the week off.

I hear that there's going to be some work done, such as painting.

But I also think an overnight stay on the lake will be in the plans as well.

Have a great week.
