August 9, 2024

It was a lovely Friday – weather cooperated after a morning rain. I did some reading, laundry, ran the dishwasher, fussed around in the yard, and switched out some photos in a few frames. I also got a jump on the essay for our Skunk Hollow event in October so I’m ahead of the game for that one.

After the rain.

I finished the first book in the Amelia Island series and started the second one – This series seems to have a lot of drama and action.

Outside I pulled a few weeds, got the mail (junk only!!), and saw that the Butterfly bush got considerably bigger. The blooms are almost all purple and white.

I noticed that Ligonier Valley Writers posted a picture of most of the published authors on their facebook page.

The ones I know are:
Back row – Joe Potts, Alicia Stankay, Nancy Clark, Jim Busch, ?, Keith Neill
Front row – Susan Potts, Jean P., me, Ruth McDonald, Louise Vrable

I finally got around to making my yellow squash for lunch, with a piece of water melon. I’ll probably have tomato and toast for supper.

I decided to switch out some pictures in a few of my frames. I don’t do that too often. But I really liked the picture of Kathy and I in the antique car at the Frick mansion in Pittsburgh so I put that in the ‘sisters’ frame and it really kind of ties the pictures together. Also put out a picture of Duke of Gloucester Street at night, taken from our Colonial House window right before our ‘ghost’ tour. The other frame was upstairs in the living room, a picture of the Biltmore and one of our Williamsburg Colonial House at night.

I think the driving photo ties all the travel photos together!

My blessing for today was the sunshine after the rain.

Garage Sale Day; National Sea Shell Day; National Bowling Day; National Lazy Day; National S’mores Day; National Shapewear Day; National Spoil Your Dog Day; Update Your Bio Day; World Lion Day.
