OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE
The weather has been beautiful lately with warm afternoons, but low dew point and low humidity so extremely tolerable. I call it barefoot weather and love it! The humidity is supposed to rise a bit this week, but I’m hoping it stays in the tolerable range.
ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE
This morning is coffee and oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins.
AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE
I’m pretty happy. I deep cleaned all the floors on Friday and then deep cleaned my studio on Saturday as I made room for my sewing table to be set up. I also got all the laundry done over the weekend.

CURRENTLY READING & TELEVISION / DVR
We are really getting into a summer schedule of nothingness and I’m searching more and more Netflix and amazon at night. We did find IRON FIST on Netflix that we are really enjoying and just started Bosch on Amazon that might be okay – season 3 just started, but we’re binge watching 1 and 2 first. I’m looking forward to America’s Got Talent coming back at the end of the month. We really enjoyed Nick Cannon as the host so interested in seeing how his being gone changes the dynamic of the show.
I’m currently reading Ava Miles Dare River 5 book series. I’m on book 3, Fireflies and Magnolias.

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA
We’ve been working hard on the backyard. 6000 pounds of sand, 960 pounds of river rock, 1320 pounds of pavers and several flower pots later we’re getting close! We still need to order the top soil and sod to be delivered, but within 2 weeks the backyard will be done! I’m using my old herb rack in this corner to get the pots started out of the direct sun.

Your menu always sounds yummy! Love the flowers in the backyard!!! Have a great week!!
THANK YOU and Thank You! The week is starting off pretty good!
You always have the yummiest sounding menu. I have so many plans for my back yard, but we want to try and buy the house in about a year or two, and I think I’ll wait on the biggest projects until then, but definitely plan on doing small things here and there 🙂
Have a wonderful week Tamy.
THANK YOU! The little projects all add up. Some of what we are doing would have waited a bit longer if we weren’t going to sell soon. Have a great week too.
Yummy menu plan – have a great week!
Thanks – you too!
Glad you are able to get out and enjoy things a bit by staying in the shade, hope the low humidity will hold for you. Can’t wait to see the pictures of your backyard. I have plans for all of our yard but I’m trying to just complete one area at a time. Wonderful quote for this week. Hope you have a fantastic week ahead!
We’re just doing one area at a time too, but it was the worst area that my cousin had neglected horribly and …well I just don’t know what thoughts were going through her head! Unfortunately the clouds came over and the humidity is already horrible today. I was able to get 4 bags of rocks spread around near the AC unit and 2 plants potted before I came in to work on other projects. Have a GREAT week too!
