definitely fitting! lol, it's all good. just makes the silence so much more enjoyable when it happens :) they all went to the archery store and took Dad and little Sis along.
awww...cute pics of the cats...drinking from the bird bath..ha...or are they waiting for something more...and what a cute yawn...i could use some coffee...smiles.
So that was yesterday, huh? I was thinking you must be sending us some sunshine, but we had that yesterday too. Today was a deluge, as if we needed more rain. Would have been a perfect time to check off "Walk in the rain" had I not had so many little people in the house, but seeing as I did have a house full of little people, rain was just fine by me. We had a great afternoon for naps! :)
tomorrow you'll have lovely weather...a little cool, but perfectly sunny, breezy and no humidity! We had lightening storms in the night and a ton of rain but it cleared by noon and we really beautiful! I hope you have a nice rain soon to take a walk in, but naps are good, too!
haha one off the list Sure nothing was missed As the kitties of the same color drank away Another stretched and yawned up a storm at your bay While the last had to stop and smell the roses So to speak, great poses
Looks like you had a good morning. Love the photos of the cats and flowers. And looks like you're getting ready for the pedi party : ) We had bad storms last night, but had a beautiful day today. We had dinner on the patio this evening.
haha...well, those nails need to be refreshed. I did stare at them and tried to decide what I'd do for the party! ha. It was actually a little cool for dinner outside tonight...maybe tomorrow. I love to do that!
ah Betsy I love the cats pictures! and the flowers look beautiful! and your feet look perfect and beauty you are ready to the party. lol Im happy you had a relax time:))
Check out those tomatoes!!! What is growing under your etageres? The cats look almost as happy as you, Betsy! Your planters look great...and I noticed on yesterdays post...your clematis by the front door...Awesome! How are your Hydrangeas coming along? Aren't flowers wonderful?!
The last few years I've bought the biggest, most mature looking tomato plants I can find and it's made all the difference! We just don't get to eat any until late September if you start with seed in May!
I have jalapeno, bell peppers and cucumbers ...and zucchini. Didn't get any herbs or lettuces done!
I never plant seeds for veggies....too tedious! I must get a big tomato plant for home..planted the tiny guys already at the cottage... Hopep they haven't floated away...with all this rain!
We had so much rain last night! Probably 4 inches I found in a plastic tub on the driveway! Lots of wind, lightning and thunder. Didn't get much sleep! haha. I was surprised that things didn't look worse for wear...at one point in the night I wondered if I heard hail....so glad I didn't! The ground was squishy to walk on today but we didn't have any standing water in the low spots..I was really surprised. So maybe the ground needed it!
No blooms on my silly hydrangeas. I petted some lovely pink ones at the garden center and debated on digging up the duds and starting over. Maybe I can snag them on clearance after July 4th. :)
I am hoping my Blue Hydrangea gives me a bloom for Vivian's 1st birthday...[can't believe that] When she was born, there was a perfect blue one waiting for me to take to her and her Mom at the hospital! Pink ones are gorgeous...I want to buy a few more for the cottage garden, but they are pretty pricey...
This morning is especially lovely..windows open..just a little cool (perfect for coffee) and the birds are singing. I wish summer could be this lovely and not so hot!
Love the kitty yawn! Our kitty met a sad demise on the road a few weeks ago, and I'm missing him! There's something about a cat, and a cup of coffee, and bare feet that just spells relaxation!!!!
Oh, I'm so sorry. :( Did you just have one? I thought everyone had 10 or 15 or something... :) Maybe a chicken can relax on the porch with you. Nah...it just wouldn't be the same. Shall I send you a kitty? :)
A chicken relaxing on the porch would be bad--when they relax--things happen that would make me have to hose off the porch. :)
I only take boy kitties, and I'm not sure if it would survive the shipping. :)
We have construction on our road this summer--which equals extra traffic--which is why the accident happened. I think we're going to wait for fall to replace him. :)
The porch swing...one of my favorite places!! In fact, when we were building our house, as soon as the porch was built, we put up the swing! Spent hours there (instead of finishing the house construction) just relaxing and dreaming. Now 20 years later, still enjoying it---from morning coffee to a late night glass of wine!! RELAX when we all can! We've all earned it!!
I always wanted a porch swing and took the neighbors when they put it out for the trash one night. It only needed a coat of paint! Now, as I sat there this week, I noticed it's due for another! Yes, we all need to relax...and a swing is one of the best ways to do it!
The swing is the thing!! LOL... and by the way, I totally loved your pictures around the yard with the flowers. Can't believe you have tomatoes THAT BIG already!! Are YOU the gardener too? In addition to being the SuperMom???
Well, up here in Ohio you have to cheat a little bit. I buy the tomato plants as big as I can find. This one had blossoms already on it. If you don't do that, there aren't any tomatoes ready to eat until late September! We can't plant anything until mid May or the morning frost will get it. I do have a little garden...just a few plants. Nothing like summer tomatoes, you know? BLT's...burgers....salsa...yum!
Your blog loads very slowly on my ancient laptop I am using until my new computer arrives. It's brutal. Love all your pictures of the kitties, the beer story made me laugh. Glad the boys are adjusting to their new camp!
Lovely!! I think I'll head out to my porch and wait for the return of the "thundering herd" haha :)
ReplyDeletehaha...what a wonderful idea! Love the name....so fitting sometimes, isn't it? :) We've said that about kids...and cats! lol...
Deletedefinitely fitting! lol, it's all good. just makes the silence so much more enjoyable when it happens :) they all went to the archery store and took Dad and little Sis along.
DeleteFunny how you begin to miss the thunder, isn't it? :)
DeleteYes! wouldn't seem right without it!
DeleteBeautiful! It looks like a perfect day.

I remember that! Wow...that was a year ago? Amazing.
DeleteGlad you got to relax. Now why do I get the feeling that you were yawning like that cat? Ha!
ReplyDeletehaha! I'll never tell!
Deletewonderful time of year!
ReplyDeleteThis morning is especially lovely..windows open..just a little cool (perfect for coffee) and the birds are singing. I wish summer could be this lovely and not so hot!
Deletenice to have quiet days to enjoy with the cats and flowers and a cup of joe.:)
ReplyDeleteFelt like I was on the porch swing with you. So relaxing. Just noticed your "Keep Calm and Call Batman" - was he on speed dial this last month? :-)
DeleteAs a matter of fact, I did! haha.
DeleteOops. Something happened with my comment and it ended up as a reply to the above blogger. I have a new computer and it is playing tricks on me!
ReplyDeleteoh, that's ok...we all do that now and then!

Yes, we just had one cat.

If I had a porch then the minute that we had a good sunny morning it would be the first thing I'd do as well Betsy, looks just luxurious!
ReplyDeleteI know...good for you! I don't do it often enough but it's there for me to enjoy...silly of me, I know.
DeleteThe cats standing up on the bird bath... priceless! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteDon't they look funny? They really have to stretch!

ReplyDeleteYes, it is! I feel like it's the calm after the storm. ha. Perfect weather today, too! Almost done with my coffee...
DeleteA wonderful way to start the day...loved all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful...I really need to do that more often!
DeleteWhat a lovely coffee break this morning! Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely...I need to do that more often!
DeleteI loved all your pictures and can imagine that at last you had some truely relaxed moments! Try to go for more!
ReplyDeleteChristel

DeleteFlowers, cats and a nice place to relax.
ReplyDeleteJust what the Dr. ordered!
