On Sunday I couldn't get warm and today we are looking for a high of 86 degrees. How I love the warm weather (minus the allergies!). Today I am going to hang my clothes on the line, make some macaroni salad, and sit out on my back porch for a little bit and enjoy the weather.
My yard is full of flowers and life. The bees are quite busy as well as the birds and other creatures. Yesterday Ben found a tree frog. I have been noticing bird calls more this year. Maybe some day I'll learn to recognize them by their songs. I'm so glad God put all these wonderful things here for us to enjoy. The credit really belongs to Him and if we are able to capture a tiny portion of it on a photograph, we are truly blessed!Time to make my salad and finish the laundry. Maybe I'll be back later for a Thursday Thirteen...
Hi!
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Thursday Thirteen?
Thursday Thirteen is where you make a list of 13 things. It could be things about yourself, things you like or would like to do, or even 13 things about someone else. For instance "Thirteen things about Jon...
ReplyDelete1. He is older than me.
2. He plays guitar.
3. He once lived in Texas.
4. He likes peanutbutter cookies.
5. He was born in September.
6. He is the youngest of seven.
7. He is married to Emily.
8. He used to have a beard.
9. He goes to church with Priscilla.
10. His family had bad luck with pets vs. cars.
11. He taught me to draw cats.
12. He used to write in all capital letters.
13. He has five boys.
See how easy it is?
Was that your Thursday thirteen or should we expect another? Will you make mac salad for me so I can take a nap?

ReplyDeletewow..you're pretty good!
ReplyDelete1. only 3 years older
8. still do
9. actually, I go to church with Emily and the boys
12. still do (handwriting)
Now I feel challenged to come up with 13 things about Martha...am I allowed to hire a consultant?
If you are sitting on your back porch you must have the chairs out. (hint for picture of chairs on porch) Clothes drying on the line, sigh. Watching the clothes on the line dry while sitting on the back porch listening to the Bees buzzing, birds singing, sigh. I want to live in the country!
ReplyDeleteJon, hire a consultant only if you must.
ReplyDeleteGmj, yes living in the country can be wonderful. Photos of the back porch are forthcoming. If you get impatient you can check out my archives from last June.
Yeah...I never remember going to church with Jon. I go with Jamie and the kids.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake.
ReplyDeleteThirteen things about Martha:
ReplyDelete1. She has a middle name, and I have no clue what it is
2. She has 7 kids...on purpose?
3. She can draw cats (but just because I taught her how)
4. Aside from Mrs Johnson my 6th grade English teacher, she's the nicest person I know
5. She has green bugs with her blueberries
6. She takes AMAZING pictures (what kind of camera is that, anyway?)
7. Did I mention she has 7 kids?
8. Her feet point slightly inward (at least from what I remember)
9. She is a natural blonde
10. She belongs to Jesus
11. I've never seen her cry
12. 7 kids....wow!
13. She was the first girl I ever kissed
Well, I knew all those things except the last one. (They say you learn something new everyday.) James will find that interesting too I'm sure...
ReplyDelete(Watch Martha turn red.)
1. What is your middle name, anyway?
ReplyDelete6. What kind of camera is that?
13. It was 28 years ago, but I remember it like it happened last week. I can tell the story if you like...
No, please don't tell the story!
ReplyDeleteJames won't be happy. He'll never let you come over for dinner again! (stop laughing!)
1. My middle name is Jeanne after my mother's sister. She died in a car accident when she was nineteen.
6. Our camera is an Olympus Camedia C-750 UltraZoom.
Oh dear! Too much information!
