Good Morning my dear Friend!

A beautiful day to you.   Just had to share this picture of the bachelor button plants. I use to have them many years back in the flower gardens. A dear friend gave me some seeds  to plant this summer. Looking forward to seeing them once again in the flower garden.  Wonder if there is a poem for the bachelor buttons for they are such a smilie flower .  Think I will look into that thought. May you have a relaxing weekend.  Smiles  Gloria

Such a pretty lily  in my flower garden. Puts a smile on my face seeing all the lilies in the flower bed of many colors that was planted last fall. My goodness saying the world fall we will be heading into August soon.  Really to tell you the truth I am looking forward the fall days.  Hope we are blessed with a long colorful fall season.  Ha, Ha,  I am even wearing today a brown outfit  and have a fall amber orange sweater on for it is 57 for the temp at the moment this morning. Loving these cooler days. In the mean time I'am sipping on a nice cup of coffee.   Have a Glorious Life doing this and that and I will do the same. Smiles  Gloria

I just started this nice summer bird  puzzle  today  as the  rain is coming down off and on this morning. We are at 67 for the temp at the moment. Now where is my coffee cup?  Nice to have coffee to sip on as one finds pieces to the puzzle. I do believe this will be a  nice lazy day doing this and that.  Hope your Tuesday is being nice to you. May you have a glorious week.   Smiles  Gloria

The lawn  had its hair cut yesterday and for today  is laundry and dusting day. 

We are at 62 for the temp this morning and just might get to 70. Loving these cooler days while it lasts.  Have a glorious day what ever  you plan to do.  For me my plan is to  get my household duties done and then sit back and have another cup of one of many  favorite flavored coffees I enjoy, while finding another piece to the puzzle.   Smiles   Gloria

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing. ~Clive James, in The Observer, London, as quoted by The Reader's Digest, 1980

My this week is flying by as I am enjoying my moments doing this and that  during these summer days. Hope your days are being ever so nice to you as you do your daily duties.  Another cool day  bring fall into my mind .  Found the other day pumpkin jam. Now that sounds interesting  for I so do like apple butter jam. Just might give it a try.  In the mean time  I do believe I need to fill up my coffee cup with some toasted coconut flavored coffee .  Smiles  Gloria

You cannot smile too often. Gladness is the sunshine of life.

 Goodness it feels like fall is trying to come in . A smile is on my face. Cooler day and night temps and I am so happy.  The tiger lilies are in bloom in the flowerbeds  and they are the last flowers to show up as fall is trying to come in. 

 My how I love all the 4 seasons  and all of its surprises as each season comes into view.  May your week be ever so kind to you. Smiles  Gloria

The change always comes about mid-August, and it always catches me by surprise. I mean the day when I know that summer is fraying at the edges, that September isn't far off and fall is just over the hill or up the valley. ~Hal Borland

A glorious  Wed. day to you.  Such a surprise I saw at the bird feeder early this morning.

Yes it is a white squirrel and then next came one of the blue jays.

 I so do enjoy my bird feeder that gives me joy all day long. Now I need to  make myself a pot of coffee to make my day even more special.  May you have a very nice day doing this and that during your moments of life.  Smiles   Gloria

Which fall  lap blanket do you like.  For me I love them all, I  am a plaid type of a gal and always has been.  We are at 39 for the temp on this crisp cool fall day and the wind is having fun blowing the leaves that have fallen from the trees all around the yard. Such a pretty site to see as fall comes in more and more.

 May you have a glorious day seeing fall all around you and giving you a giggle at its surprises.  Smiles   Gloria

Frost on the rooftops this morning.  Wow think old man winter is trying to come in the back door and Jack Frost.  The leaves are falling and fall is having a grand time these days.  I also enjoying this fall season!  May you have a  very special weekend  doing whatever will make you smile and giggle. Smiles  Gloria

Once  more frost on the rooftops this morning.  This is reminding me  to finish up the cleaning of the flowerbeds these next few days.   But in the mean time I need a nice fresh pot of coffee.  Think I will go with the flavor of caramel apple  from the New England Coffee brand.  May you have a wonderful week and a very nice Monday day. Smiles   Gloria

The day after the day that I walk out the front door and the air is crisp, with just a hint of the Autumn days ahead, I put cinnamon in my coffee. ~Betsy Cañas Garmon

The wind has  been blowing these past days so loads of  fall leaves are on the ground. Once more is it raking time to pile  those leaves and throw oneself onto the pile. Such fun ! Ha Ha 

 Instead of coffee this morning I have decided to have spot of tea.  I am trying for the first time from YOGI tea's an elderberry lemon balm immune & stress blend of tea, as we are at 33 F  at  the moment, to make my day abit special.   May you have a glorious day enjoying your fall day.  Smiles   Gloria

A glorious Tuesday day to you. Extra warm today so better enjoy some ice tea and or coffee to cool myself and then maybe some refreshing lemonade . Now to find my book and head outside and enjoy the summer breeze for awhile. May you have a very pleasant day. Smiles Gloria
