Behind again, and trying to catch up!

Good afternoon and thanks for popping in. This will be a short post...as I just wanted to say: I am behind on commenting and visiting my buddies again. In between Life and Other Things, I am trying to catch up with all of you sweet peeps that have been visiting and leaving such sweet comments on previous posts. Will try to get myself caught up again, and post. I have some cards finished, planned to do scheduled posts, but decided I'd wait and post when I'm caught up again.

In the meantime, we are still having our glorious weather, but I'm told we're getting another heat wave in the next day or so. It's been just grand being able to open some doors and air out the house from the summer air conditioning. I hope wherever you are, that the weather is lovely, Life is good, and that you're gearing up for a pleasant weekend.

Blessings, Big Hugs, and I personally, am giving Thanks for having my family around to love and enjoy. Not all of us are that fortunate, so it's good to live every day to the fullest. Be back when things get sorted. Hope I can get caught up this evening.

**************Blogger was acting up, and I couldn't post this earlier, so back again this evening.
We took my #2 bro & SIL out for a nice late lunch, and a ride 'in the country' - since it was such a lovely day.

Started back in on the visitin' once we returned home, and hopefully I'll be caught up here in a bit. Thought I'd leave you with a view of what you'd see from the front porch...except we don't have the purple verbena in place now, and the bushes are huge, needing a good cut-back. We are told to wait until the end of the month to have that done. The trees in pic #2 are what you would see, sitting in the swing, looking out over across the street to our neighbor's back yard (or as my Brit friends would say "her garden"). This would be a late evening view, as the sun is setting - it's a beautiful sight.
 We like to see the birds flying home to roost in the late evenings.

 



Hugs and thanks to all who have gone over to visit Brenda and leave some supporting words. See ya.

  5. That "Brit's" place looks pretty lovely too. Thanks for sharing Mary! I'm sooo enjoying our fresh (60 degree) evenings followed by gorgeous 85 (degree) days! Heavenly! On that note - have to spend some time weeding up at the church tomorrow!

  6. What a beautiful neighbourhood you have Mary, and I do love your front porch. We have been 'warming up' a bit here, but are due for another polar blast this weekend :-(.

  7. Hello Mary,,
    Love the wonderful views of your beautiful home.
    Reminds me so much of our own American relatives homes that we visit.

    Have a good day
    Hugs. x

  8. Such a gorgeous view you have! Mine is unfortunately not so pretty. Pebble dash buildings on one side (not at all pretty, if you are not familiar, Google will show you the hideousness, lol) and a car park on the other. It's the least inspiring view I can imagine!

    Good luck with catching up. "Behind" is pretty much where I live...

  10. Lovely photos. The tree is beautiful. I have a huge Yew tree outside my window and two others that I don't know what species they are and recently planted Maples, but one of the three died.

    Hope life treats you kind. Sue

  11. So glad you enjoyed my autumn tag - and thank you for such a lovely comment. I'm a real crackle fiend... I do recommend it, you'll never look back! Looks as though that lovely tree is just about to turn - how wonderful it looks catching the sunlight.

    Love and big hugs from my house to yours.

  15. I love your porch Mary and the view from it and so nice for you to have lunch with family and go out for a nice ride. I have a few other things on myself at the moment and am in the middle of sewing some tablecloths so haven't posted anything lately. Life gets in the way sometimes. x

  16. Your home is just gorgeous and I can picture myself out there in the AM sipping my coffee and enjoying the beautiful weather! That's what I try to do here, and I'm especially liking the cooler temps with less humidity! Enjoy!
