Flowers and Such..

 

My iris are blooming like crazy. I had Randy go out yesterday afternoon and cut a few! They smell so heavenly! Do you have any? These are the ones that a colleague at work gave me years ago. Each year, they bloomed so beautifully . Then one year they didn't come up...and years went by...with nothing. Last year they bloomed in all their glory and here they are again this year!! (Big smile!!!)

This is what was going on at my house Friday after Bible Study and physical therapy! Window cleaners!! Who doesn't just love clean windows?? I remember the days when Tom and I did all of them ourselves! I'd take them all apart and do the inside while Tom got the pleasure of being outside..washing away! ~smile We had bought one of those poles with the rag/cleaner on the end. That in itself was a job!! But, these guys are in and out in no time!! There was four of them and that is their business!! Well worth it for me!!

Next thing...I need to get my carpets cleaned. Then I'll be set for awhile..lol Tomorrow I hope to finish working on my newsletter! 

 

 Our weather was just so lovely today, I had to get out for a little bit. I pulled a few weeds out of our wheelbarrow. My peonies have big buds, but aren't blooming yet! (Even though yesterday I noticed the neighbors were blooming!) The hostas look nice too. (One year, we had so many wild deer, that they were almost starving and ate everything in site, including our hosta's. They had them ate to the ground.) So, I wasn't sure they'd ever come back but they did!! Yeah!

I hope you are enjoying this "Memorial Day Rememberence" weekend. Until tomorrow...good night!

Summer is Really Upon Us

In our forecast, today was to be very hot and it was right. They said the high was 89, but the heat index was 97. Actually, we stayed in all day, using the air conditioner to keep us cool. smile... Son, Randy came by this morning. Always so good to see him... He said tomorrow is to be even hotter...uggg The weatherman said it has been 2 years since we've hit 100 degrees. I'd just as soon have it be another 2 years before it hit that temp again...lol

 

Last year when we went by this apartment complex, they had beautiful flowers out front and they are back again this year. (Their probably all perennials!) I just love to see them!! 

 

This week we had our windows washed. This company did an amazing job!! It's a lot of work, first washing the outside of the windows then coming in and taking the windows apart..then..........

 

going back outside and washing them. And once again coming back in and washing the storms and putting them back together!! They were so precise...wiping the fingerprints and other smudges to be sure they were perfectly clean!! 

See how these plants are growing?? Eeeks...I'm so excited and can't imagine what it will look like in a few more weeks!!

 

Time for bed...hope you're having a cool summer weekend...
