August... Extra Love...Black Kow and a Witch

Good morning, friends!

Hope you're all enjoying cool temps and peaceful days.

As usual, I'm whining about not having enough rain.  Temps are strangulatingly (that might not be a word...lol)  Hot!  105F most of the week, with heat index of 115 to 120 (49C) in some places!  Hope our A/C can continue to keep up with the demand for more cool air.

Anyway, our week has been filled with keeping our Sloane.  She had some sort of infection (when a doctor doesn't know "exactly" what's going on, they treat symptoms.  So... antibiotics to the rescue.  It must have worked because the second day we had her...she was all smiles.  Monday though...wow...no pleasing her but we made it through.

Now it's Friday again!

Our granddaughter, Samantha, had Sloane's One Year Old photos done last week (She'll turn One, August 15th).  They remind me of the old 1950's style of photography!  I love them all!  Too many to post here, (Did I hear a sigh of relief? lolol).  These two are my absolute favorites.

My ring finally came in!  Larry picked it up since I was holding precious cargo.  I love it.  It only took almost 51 years...lol

Sloane started roaming all around the house...I'd say she started feeling better! lol, With me in hot pursuit.

Just for the record, I've never zipped lined anything...nor shall I...lol

The heat is horrible here!  Larry took me to Home Depot yesterday (Sloane was back in daycare).  I was able to buy one of the last Black Kow manure bags.  People swear by it, so I'll give it a try.  Sprinkle a generous amount on top of the soil (if plants are not looking so good) or, mix it into the soil when planting.  I'm trying everything I know to do to save my plants but, Hades Inferno is speaking right now... :o( 

My climbing rose looks pitiful...as well as the Jasmine.

I hope the Black Kow can help!

The tomato is just about gone...

I asked Larry if he could cut out a front porch silhouette for me.  I'm getting a head-start on Halloween.  All I have to do is show him a picture...and he can do it.  Nice!

I also bought a box ($1.48) for Sloane to play in.  A lot cheaper than a princess playhouse on Amazon!

Went out to visit my sister, Ruth Ann.  She's doing great but wasn't prepared for pictures, but Tuff said he didn't mind! He's so sweet natured!

Okay then...I suppose I've wasted enough of your time this morning.   Hope you all are safe and doing great!  

Be positive and be kind...and make good choices.

Until next time...

You, My Friends...

Good morning, friends...Have I told you how grateful I am to have found you all?  Your kind words...prayers that you pray for a virtual friend?  Your advice about everyday living?  Ideas to help make my life a little easier.  How you allow me to try to be helpful when I read your post and you've had a hard time or you're just sad?

I just want to say Thank you!  You brighten my otherwise sad world, at times, with so many smiles!

I call you, my friend. <3 

And then ...there's the few in my life that I'd love to...lolol

I'm sure there are people that have or would do something this awful to someone else who they feel has "wronged" them...I never in a million years, could!

Lolol...too funny and Too True!

Potato soup fully loaded.

Our Sloane is preparing her outfit for Easter...

My Larry has been sick for a week now...Started out with stomach pain...gassy (flatulence), then congestion...fever...fatigue.  He's just now feeling better (I treated the symptoms because he refused to go to urgent care!!!)  Thank God it worked because he really had me worried for a hot minute while watching his breathing!  I was worried about pneumonia.  I told him if he wasn't better by the morning, and he was still refusing to go to the doctor, I would call for an ambulance!  He was better by morning...and is now 98% his old self.  In fact, he has his annual Labs this morning and if there's a high white cell count, it should show up.

Tuff looking at his offspring...Candy.

Our little Candy is getting bigger!  I'll bring her home in two more weeks.  I also purchased Pet Insurance from Nationwide.  If it is a good deal, I'll put my older pups on the coverage, as well.

Well...guess that's about it for me this week.  Hope your worlds are safe and peaceful...until next time...
