Yikes! June Already?!

 So here's what I've been doing since I last posted.

It's been several years since I started my church blocks & finally, I decided on how I wanted to put them all together.

I've obviously chosen the Attic Window look. It took me months to select the fabric for that to happen. I wanted to churches to stand out so I went with gray tones and black.  It's not finished yet, but thank goodness I did manage to get this far.

Then I've been working in my flower garden and watching all the beautiful blooms.  So sit back and enjoy the view.

Blooming in June

I just love looking at all my new blooming flowers. It’s very soothing. I hope you all are having a soothing Friday.

June 22nd?!

How has this month nearly gotten away from me?!  What have I been doing, you asked?  Well let's see.
First I was watching the little ones:

I'll bet you thought I was talking about the grands....hehehehehe! Nope, can you see the two spotted fawns?  They like to camp out in my yard in the afternoons around 5ish.  When I went to the front door to take a photo, they heard me but didn't know from which direction I was. They froze in place. They were too cute.  I was able to get a couple of pics before they scampered off.

Then I:::::

Did some canning of tomatoes.  All I did here was chop up a bunch of tomatoes into a very large pot. Poured sugar over them and allowed them to set for a couple of hours to draw some of the liquid from the tomatoes. Then I brought the mixture to a rolling boil, reduced to a simmer & cooked for about 4 hours until most of the juice had simmered away. Because I didn't can these in a hot bath, I placed the jars in the frig until I'm ready to eat some and give some away.

Finally....

I've been flower gardening......don't laugh.........I know what you're thinking. At no time during the time I've known "her" has she ever been involved with flowers!!!! And you would be correct but a couple of my girlfriends talked me into this and off I went......SIGH!!!

Until next time....cross your fingers that I don't kill the garden.

What have you been doing in June??

I'm Totally Septic!!!!!

 

I know you thought by the title of this post that my mood was not as it should be.....happy......I was a bit deceptive. Sorry about that but I couldn't help myself.  As you may know, if you are a follower of my blog, that a new home is in the works. It's a slow process. Sort of a hurry up and wait. Some days or weeks nothing seems to happen and then, all of a sudden, we've got everyone showing up to work on things.

Well, yesterday the septic guys showed up with all sorts of equipment and the largest tank or tanks I'd ever seen.

Since we live in the country and the house I lived in was over 60 years old, I didn't realize that this new "fangled" thingy was the new code. In a word, "WOW!"

Since we've had about 30 inches of rain in 2 months, that wonderful sugar sand I live with was constantly caving in before the guys were ready for that to happen but finally things are in place and we now have running water.

Can you say yippie skippy?!

Hopefully things will continue to move forward and a bit faster. Fingers crossed & all.
