more pictures and a request...

this past week has been really difficult. difficult for my family. difficult mentally for me. 

I hate hearing that the ones I love so dearly are suffering or sick... 

my family needs your positive thoughts and/or prayers... please

I know there aren't many readers of this blog, but a few extra positive wishes for my Aunt are much appreciated.

I had to keep busy today because we got some bad news about my Aunt who recently just had major surgery. I had to keep my hands and mind busy to stay away from negative thoughts and from keeping my mind from wandering. 

I worked nonstop from about 10 am until 4 pm... once Jesse got home, our landlord came over and did a walkthrough and we signed another lease. then we went to dinner...

now, these are repeat pictures but I wanted you to see my flowers....

the last ones that I posted were terrible :o(

Jesse hung my purple wind catcher from our huge pine tree, and I put another hummingbird feeder on my shepherd's hook in the picture below...

still no hummingbirds sited :o( 

my bird bath has been really busy every night! Here is a robin taking a bath :o)

I wish the boots were  positioned over her paws... still a sweet picture of her :o)

our Ohio summer has been ridiculously hot, but tonight was gorgeous out... 

we took advantage of the cool breeze :o)

 have a great night everyone. 

Here's hoping that my week has better news for my family!
