It's starting to get warm here now, and it definitely feels like summer, although there is still a coolness in the mornings, and that's when I usually get all my errands done. Cherries are expensive at the stores right now, so I don't get them as often as I'd like. But I picked up a big bag at the grocery store last week, just because they say "summer" to me.🍒
Here is my calendar page for July. It's such a cheerful page for one of the hottest months of summer.
Nel was devastated last week, when her beloved cat, Luca, died. It saddened us all, and her family has been grieving and missing their lively and sweet companion.
I hope this is a better week for her, as it is her birthday week. My Nel turns 44. She loves Papyrus cards, so I found this pretty one for her. Even the Papyrus envelopes are unusually wonderful.
These three birds were huddled together on my yard. Not quite sure what bird it is, some kind of woodpecker?
I went to a craft fair in my town over the weekend. There was a lot of cute handmade items there, but I have to really love something to bring it home these days, and I didn't see anything that I had to have. Although I didn't buy anything, it was nice talking with the women at the booths. This one lady makes crocheted dolls, and creates little characters out of sea shells. Some of them she has had since the 1940's.
You know how we get the wildfires during the summer months in California. Well, there was a small fire this last weekend in my town, close to the grocery store in the woods, but it was put out quickly, thank God, and I'm hoping no more ferocious wildfires come about this summer.😱
I bought a new door mat. There's just no place like home.
Have you ever tried the Mexican pastries? Oh, I love them. Sometimes I go to the restaurant just to pick up a few. You have to go early in the mornings on the weekend, cause they are all sold out during the week.
A mama built her nest under the eaves of my house, and her baby birds hatched, as I can hear them LOUDLY every morning.🐣
Do you know that me and Nel are only 21 years apart? I was a mere 20 years old when I was pregnant with her. I had that girl Baptized at two weeks old. 44 years later.....happy birthday, my love. 🎂🍭🌺🍫🎂
