It's summertime and the living is easy........

  90* with a heat* at our house this afternoon. Whew! Sure hope our weather station is off somehow. lol Thank goodness for the wind blowing. At least it gives the impression of being tolerable out there. I mowed the front yard at 7:00 this a.m. and trimmed the trees in the back after that. Back in the house by 8:45. Mowed the back yesterday morning the same way.

  My hens and chicks are completely bloomed now. Really interesting "flower". Oh, oh.....the stupid Japanese beetles are back for their annual raid on my yard. Have already started on my grapevines. Poor things will probably never have a grape. 

  Tim got the faucet dug up and luckily it was only needing an adjustment! Didn't even have to dig it completely out. Haven't put the dirt back yet. Waiting to make sure it will hold up before burying it again. Using the yard faucet for now with the garden hose. No problem in the summer time. 

  Had a nice visit with my sister this a.m. too. Hope they get a handle on her health troubles soon. Hope she has less pain soon as possible. At least she has more energy! Yay! Wish I did. Been up since 3:30 and can hardly stay awake......been 12 hours. Seems I was able to stay up longer than that a few years back. 

  Having trouble uploading photos. Was going to share my lilies. Maybe tomorrow. There are a lot of them blooming now. Not quite all of them. Looks pretty. 

  Gotta go. You all have a diamond day!
