I hope you enjoy this last weekend of August...we're having a "cool down",  it's going to be in the mid 80's, I'm so happy!

Have a wonderful Friday!  I am still checking things off my list before starting to work on Tuesday!  

Good Morning!  Friday is always a happy day because the weekend is starting.  Also we got 7/10" rain yesterday in a beautiful downpour.  

Fridays just seem to be more fun because you know you don't have to get up early tomorrow morning.  I still get up at the same time.  

Summer is fading away slowly.  We were in the 90's several days this past week.  We even hit 100° yesterday but we hope to only be in the 80's today and for several more days to come.  

A lot of my Cardinals look like this as the seasons begin to change.  Once in a while a bright red male will show up, but most of them look faded now.   

I did see some very colorful butterflies this past week too.  Some yellow, some orange, and some blue ones.  The Bees were very busy around some of the flowers too.  

Now with the days getting shorter, some of the flowers are very happy.  My Yellow Rose bushes had a bloom or two on each bush.  So before the weekend starts be sure to enjoy 

 Hello, I'm stopping by your lovely

 home and leaving my mark so you don't

     forget your friend whom I admire

that you are present even from a distance

that I appreciate what's important is not

what we have but who we have

and that our friendship lasts forever

that joy and happiness always be with us  

and take  care of each other that

 always be in our lives a good recipe

that looking at the stars and that 

 illuminate us and have more energy,

 lives your day to the fullest

big hugs, Maria, kisses

You can’t make a cloudy day a sunny day, but you can embrace it and decide it’s going to be a good day after all.

Blessed Thursday

Thursday is calling us today!  

What does your day look like today?  

I hope that it helps to make each current day the best day of your life so far.  

Joy!  That word makes me shiver and puts such a big smile on my face.  So I am sharing it with you also.  

As you go through this day, stop often and call on your angels to remind you that the greatest of these is LOVE.  

Then at the end of the day, stop and count your Blessings & Hugs!  This first one of the day is from me!  Pam
