Happy Monday Sweet Peas,

*

Hope this finds you having a very good Monday, 

and that you also had a very nice weekend.

*

Ours was nice........quiet and restful, which was

perfect to us.  Dee and her beau came over for dinner

 on Friday night and we all had a nice evening,  course,

 we also got to see Rosie as well. 

 She always puts a smile on our faces too!!

(These are the same lilies but they have the photoshop

paint daubs affect,  thought it looked neat)

*

Saturday we didn't do too much really,  cause

 we were pretty tired from a busy week can't 

even remember what we did, ........... Oh yea,

we slept late,  for me that just almost never 

happens,  but think it was because I only slept

4 or 5 hrs. the night before.  So I woke up feeling

great, then we sat on the porch and drank coffee

for awhile and read in a new book by Paul David

Tripp called "Broken down house".  We are

really enjoying it.  Then we came in and made a

 bunch of pancakes and waffles from a wholegrain

 mix we had purchased at Ross last weekend.

Had some for breakfast and froze the rest.  

They were nummy!! 

*

 Repotted a big plant cause it's old pot cracked, 

and was looking awful so that was a nice improvement.

*

  Talked to an old and dear friend we haven't talked to

 in awhile.  She never reads my blog mainly cause she

 is too busy ( she is a Pastors wife), but for some

reason she decided to... and read about Jim losing

his job, and called to find out why we hadn't called

to let them know,  so they could be praying for us.

So Sweet and so good to hear from her.

*

Washed and did my hair and that is all I can 

remember accept we had leftovers from Friday

nites dinner,  so no cooking but a good din din!!

*

Sunday we went to Sunday School and church.

It was a very encouraging service!

Then we went to get a smoothie afterwards,  came

 home, ate lunch, read the newspaper,  took a nap, 

 I got up before Jim so I visited some blogs,  then

 a bit after he got up we went outside to sit in the

 yard and read some more.  It was so lovely out,

a lil bit of breeze and cool enough to be out there,

 because it was 90 degrees earlier and such a 

gorgeous day, I so wanted to be outside,  but I

 can't take the heat in the daytime.  So was so

elated to be able to enjoy being outside for awhile.

We can never be accused of working too much

on a Sunday!! lol  It is truly our day of rest.

*

 This is what I saw as we were sitting there.

(our backyard - we have been working over on the left

behind the skinny legged tree and the bench.

It used to be a huge full bush a week or so ago,  and

 before we cleaned out you could only see the bottom

 part of the post behind the bench, not much is blooming

in the backyard right now but the Lantana which is only

sparsely blooming by the birdbath and to the left passed

 where you can see.  I am hoping to plant some flowers

 maybe under that lil tree, cause it looks so bare and

 drab right now.  We love our backyard tho,  it is truly

a place of solace for us.  It is truly a miracle how it has 

recovered from hurricane Charlie 6 yrs. or so ago.

As it was totally demolished....we had a backyard

full of trees and tree tops from the hurricane but 

also from a tornado that touched down right on

the lot beside us.  We never thought our backyard 

would look the same again. That was one noisy and

 scary storm!!  Maybe I will share our hurricane

story when we get into hurricane season.

*

While Jim was reading I was listening and looking

at the sky,  it was just so beautiful I had to take

a break and take some pics for yall to see!

*

*

Just love these gorgeous clouds, 

*

*

Looks like God has been painting away!!

*

Sorta looks likeGod is kicking that 3/4 moon

into place.  Earlier it sort of look like his hand.

*

These next 3 were  taken during the blue hour.

just for the heck of it!! lol

*

As you can see it was almost dark,  and the sky

was dark grey, but on film it shows up this 

pretty blue!!

*

*

And here is the moon shot again

but during the blue hour,  it was almost
 dark, again the sky was grey. 
 Sure looks pretty here!!

*

Well,  Sweet Friends that was our weekend,

not exciting but sure was fun and relaxing!! lol

*

Have a Sweet Evening with your family.

*

Thanks for stopping by,

*

Hugs and Blessings,

Nellie
