Guess what?

Yes, it is pouring out!  Yesterday, when I checked my app on the phone, it was only a 30%  chance of rain around 2 pm.  It has been pouring since 8 am!!

I still haven't  figured  out why my font changed to unbelievably tiny on Blogger, but I will try the hints Lori and Susan gave me. It is very hard on my eyes being this small!

We had planned on cooking and eating outside.  I made a macaroni salad, hubs has hot dogs and spare ribs to grill.  I just put my blueberry/lemon poundcake in to bake.  I made a terrible mess in my kitchen that I just cleaned up.... took the beaters out of the bowl, before they stopped!  Needless to say, after cleaning up that mess again, I am giving myself a break!  

I tossed in my winter comforter, and changed over to my summer, and I am washing the winter now and will put it away, so I can spend time on my Blogger while waiting!

This is our Sofia during her latest competition!  She took a first place, second place, fourth place and

reserve champion, which means overall...second place!  

We are so proud!  She is only 7, and was bumped up to girls who compete at 9 to 12 years old!  Her teachers, or trainers, not sure what they are called, see potential in her!  The horse she rides, is called Simon, who is the sweetest, loving horse imaginable!

This is one of my birthday presents from my hubby!  I  love these lanterns!  The candle is one that flickers!  

Noat sure what I did now, but the Blogger  page just got smaller!

Bye Bye

Happy Sunday!

Blessings to all my friends!

What a change in the weather!  Last night, it was so hot and muggy, both hubs and I were unable to sleep!  I was up in my chair from around 1 am to 5 am.  I woke up drenched in "dew", and hubs wasn't there.  I went looking for him and found him on the couch with the living room windows all open and he was sleeping there!

I read my bible, prayed, played games on my ipad!  Till 5 am!  The heavy rains finally started blowing in a wind that cooled it some.  So I finally returned to bed, and got an hours sleep.  Needless to say, I am exhausted today, and I had some food to prepare for tomorrows picnic at our niece's, and well as today's meals!  And two zucchini raisin cakes, because I had taken my frozen zucchini packs out of the freezer yesterday to thaw in the fridge and they needed to be used!  I still have about 12, 2 cup packs frozen!!

Here is a picture of one of the Million Bell hanging baskets my sons got me for Mother's Day.  The other is a rusty orangish color.  Both are so beautiful!  And huge, it doesn't look like it here, but i was only taking one side of the basket.  I was trying to see if a plant identifier app worked on my phone, but it didn't!

We ran to Walmart today for some filler annuals for some of our baskets, and we also purchased a cardinal birds favorite seed.  For the life of me, I can't think of the name.  All I know is that there are black seeds in it.  Well, the cardinals are going crazy for it!

I also put out all my hummingbird feeders.  Hubs saw a water fountain you can make for the hummingbirds, he will make.  It provides them fresh water, and a resting place.  I will take pics when it is finished.  I have to order the solar floating water fountain for it.

Thanks for your help with the font Toni, I followed your directions and it worked!!

Time to put on some coffee, so I will visit tomorrow! 

Rain!

Oh my goodness, here in NE Pa, that seems all we get is rain, rain, and more rain!  Forecasters yesterday said, today will have rain in the early morning and will taper off by 9am, well, I am here to say it is pouring like cats and dogs!

Oh well, its a good day for cleaning the office.  Which is what I started to do, then thought to make a post, then clean the office!

Today is also a great day, for polenta!  My hubby is the polenta maker, so I have free time to do some things around here that I have let go.  I also want to "shop my house"  for things to use in another area, and change the look here a little.  

This is a picture of the gazeboo at Stroudsmoor Inn, where our son Mike and his fiancee Kristin will be married in April 2019.  The view is amazing.  The place is spectacular!  If you have time, click on the link.  

We all were there for a tasting for the wedding venues, and the food is amazing!  We are so blessed and so excited! 

This is hubby and I, when we were down at Chris and Maria's for the winter!  I love this picture!

I had better get busy in this office.
