I'll be busy this weekend, trying to get some things done in the yard, as we get ready to host a wedding rehearsal dinner for 25, in just two weeks! Still so much left to do, but my main focus right now is keeping everything green until then. Not an easy task, as we are currently experiencing a 15 inch deficit in rainfall
(to those of you in western states, that's about your average yearly rainfall - our yearly average here is about 60 inches) and still having 90 degree daytime highs. And I still have cooking to do for this little shindig, too! I'm cooking (vegetarian) Mexican, and will be trying to make flan for the first time! I'll post more about that in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are a few things that made me happy today...
 |
| Always loved this photo - just a cool little getaway spot to sit and read, or maybe just to sit and think. Don't remember where this is from - maybe Cottage Living? | | |
 |
| My little Jack. Although I didn't take this photo this morning, this is how he looked when I left the house - sleeping on the couch with his head on a pillow. He "arranges" the pillow just the way he wants it, before he lays his head down. Yes, he's fat (or as his vet says, "happy"). Don't judge. |
 |
| An idea I'd like to modify for one of our existing patios...someday. Wouldn't this be a great place for a nap? Not that I nap...I have a really hard time falling asleep in the day time. But the cat would love to nap here, I'm sure. |
 |
| Hang in there Hydrangeas! They looked pretty sad and droopy yesterday, but after a quick watering, this is how they looked this morning. Pretty soon they will turn green (pretty!) and then beige, and then they'll dry up for the winter. Sad. But they'll be back next year. |
 |
| Artwork from Etsy. Unfortunately I didn't note the name of the artist, and it's no longer on the site. Beautiful, right? |
 |
| My new shoes! They're from American Eagle (not a place I normally shop!) - VERY comfortable and only $19.99. And no animals were harmed in the making of these shoes! Since I wear jeans to work most of the time, I think I will get a lot of use from these. |
So there you have it. I am wishing y'all a
VERY happy weekend!
