the good ole summer time!

Im in the middle of a four day weekend.

though its been so hot, humid and rainy

that Ive had to enjoy it mostly from inside!

so ive puttered and played.

and made this little pink kitten.

Does she look sort of old?

I stained her and beat her up pretty good.

She looks cute sitting with the old bottles,

seashells and queen annes lace!

I might make her a puppy friend next!

Well, not really next..

Next is working on memory bear orders,

that have to get done this week!

I just havent felt like making them..

though now I've put it off til the last minute.

Its true.. I am a procrastinator!!

And, I seriously have to work on them the rest of the week.

I started my day with an eight mile bike ride.

If I ride down my road, east, to the end, its exactly 4 miles.

I had to force myself this morning to go all the way to the end

because it was a little windy, which makes it hard to peddle.

but I perservered!

just kept telling myself how easy the ride back would be.

and it was!

I love riding early in the morning.

This morning was a full hour, from 7:15 to 8:15.

It has been the only time of day cool enough to ride lately!

After my ride, I picked four bouquets of hydrangeas.
They all look so pretty in my kitchen, living room,

bedroom and bathroom !
I love them in this vase full of seashells.

Speaking of seashells! these are on my porch..

in this corner!

lets see.. what else is new...

you already know about my dear grandmother.

They will bring her ashes back to ny for a service

and burial in OCTOBER!!!!! Seems so far away.

Tonight I went to a gospel music festival

at a church in albion.

I love black gospel music so much!

I need to switch churches.. seriously.

I havent been to my own church in soo long.

it would be easy to go somewhere else! They wouldnt even notice!

OK.. I'm rambling. gonna let you go now. talk to you all later.

hugs!
