Hello, Tuesday Friends!

I’m thrilled to have you here. I hope you had a great week. It’s been a busy but truly enjoyable week for us.

For one thing, my poison ivy is clearing up. It was awful, but I’m on the mend, thank goodness!

Gardening

This week, the daily temperatures were a bit more tolerable. It makes for better days to get outside and work in the yard and gardens. Lots of spearmint was pulled (it took over), and the droopy hosta flowers were all trimmed back. I had five large garbage bags full for the trash pickup!

Our flowers are going through a growth spurt! I have Daisies almost as tall as me. The coneflowers are happier than ever, and my zinnias are blooming beautifully. Our annuals of petunias and begonias have been trimmed and are thriving—truly the best they’ve looked all summer!

Hummingbird Moth

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of watching a beautiful Hummingbird Moth fluttering around our Bea Balm. They are always such a delight to see! Have you ever seen one?

Summertime!

Summertime!

Do you remember the Summer days as a kid? For me, they were spent eating watermelon, licking popsicles before they melted, swimming in the lake, listening to our transistor radios out on the boat, and riding our bikes down to the penny candy store for ice cream treats. As an adult, Summertime is not quite the same as when I was a kid, but I sure do try to pack in some Summertime Fun. This week, I participated in the “Oars on the Shores Kayak Poker Float.” Two hundred kayakers made five stops as we floated all over our beautiful lake to pick up a poker card for our hand. As we floated by each other, we all reveled in the day’s beauty and forged connections with one another and nature. By the way, I had a horrible hand!

Another fun summertime moment for us this week was an impromptu gathering around a friend’s fire pit. These spontaneous visits with friends are such a pleasure. We laughed more than we chatted, and that’s what made it perfect. Impromptu visits are simply divine!

Stocking Up

Sweet Man got a load of fabulous firewood. We stacked it, and we are now ready for firepit season!

Early Corn

Summertime brings local farm fresh sweet corn! We are lucky to live in the heart of vast corn fields!

Our Skies

We all experienced the full moon called the Buck Moon a few nights ago. It was near the 55th anniversary of the time the astronauts walked on the moon. I never saw that historical moment. I was away at summer camp. My sister sent me a postcard describing “the giant leap for mankind.” Do you remember where you were?

The next morning while making our morning tea this was the sunrise that greeted me outside my kitchen window.

Thank You!

As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.

We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.
