HAPPY WEDNESDAY

Good Morning Prim Folk, what a hot and humid day yesterday, Whew!!!!!! and then through the night came the thunderstorm, poor Angel is terrified of thunder and lightning, she could not get close enough to me in bed, but we made it through  all ok, :)

HAPPY SUMMER

Morning Prim Folk, well, the first day of summer is here and the weather sure feels like it, hot, sticky, humid, boy oh boy........I have been at the lake the last couple of days, great place to be in this kind of weather, but we were chopping down some dead old trees that we were worried might fall on the trailer, can`t have that happening so Timber!!! down they came, but more wood for me.............The Wednesday morning were we sitting by the fire drinking our coffee and down the road here comes a Doe, oh my, I was excited, I LOVE deer, think they are one of Gods most beautiful creatures, she stopped then turned back, guess I spooked her but was I happy, fist deer I had seen in camp...............On the way home yesterday, popped into a few Thrift stores on the way, found a few things.......love the homemade suet feeder for the birds, a log with big drilled out holes to put suet in, neat, 5 little pretty swakky swig glasses, pillow and apple and brown dish, fun to browse around the Thrift stores...............Wishing you all a wonderful fun filled weekend, Summer Blessings Francine.

FLOWERS AND A FROG

Morning Prim Folk, happy Tuesday to you all.......beautiful morning here so far, but later in the week the humid weather starts, yuk, summer is here I guess...........Not to much happening around here, flowers are blooming, mosquitoes buzzing, I`m slapping and itching, wow!!! many bites all over, in places I didn`t think mosquitoes would go, :)..............The neighbors little girl came over with this white frog  in a small fish bowl and asked if we wanted it to put in the pond, she didn`t want it any more, well, we now have a white frog swimming in the pond......Hope it likes it`s new home, lots of fish friends, room to swim, also rocks to hide under, guess it is some kind of exotic type of frog, never saw a white frog before., but it is welcome................Wishing you all a wonderful day, Blessings Francine.

LITTLE BIT OF SUMMER

Good Morning Prim Folk,  hope all is well in your neck of the woods.....beautiful sunny morning here, birds are singing, ahhhh, love it......I will be taking my coffee outside and sit on the swing,  you can find me out there most of the time during the warm days........but later I will be out in the gardens catching up on the weeding, I noticed yesterday while watering there are many little weeds popping up, so pitter patter, better get at her.................I did do some summer decorating the other day when it was overcast and cool.... I found myself reading  a older July issue of a  Country Sampler magazine, and that always gets me in the decorating mood, so out came the wood slice watermelons, sweet old child`s watering cans and I puttered around the house welcoming summer...............Wishing you all a warm sunny day, Blessings Francine.

Afternoon Prim Folk, hope you are all fine today, enjoying the day..... here it is warm with white puffy clouds cluttering the blue sky, kinda pretty........We just came back from the lake once again, we made our escape Tuesday  afternoon, the weather was so nice and I had Wednesday and Thursday off so why not, plus we did have some work to do there, like split and stack up more wood Cam had got from someone taking down a tree, he is always on the look-out for that, I need my campfires at the lake, :).......so we really worked up a sweat yesterday ,Cam splitting the wood with his handy splitter and me stacking up the wood in nice neat rows to season, looking good................The weather was perfect, sunny, warm with a merry little breeze blowing, enjoyed our time there once again with the camp ground all to ourselves.........I really didn`t want to come home but I work tomorrow.............I will be catching up now on all my blog friends, wishing you a beautiful evening, Blessing Francine.

A LAKE WEEKEND

Morning Prim Folk,  hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend, really cannot believe June is here, wow........Had a nice quiet relaxing time away at the lake, weather was cool but the sun did shine, had my camp fire burning morning till night, oh I do enjoy the crackling sound and the warmth of the fire...........Planted some flowers there too, sure hope the temps don`t drop to low at night there.... hit some yard sales,  though didn`t find all that much...... a cute long rag rug, old Bunnykins bowl, cast iron pig piggy bank, some small trucks for Dean to play with when he pops in, I really didn`t have any toys for him, now I do, he loves trucks too..........No one was around the camp this weekend, maybe the weather had something to do with it, was cool but I enjoyed the quietness and waking up to the wonderful chorus of birdsong in the morning.......... Once I filled my feeders, they were all coming to dine, even the little Hummers are back......was so enjoyable watching the antics of the birds...........Wishing you all a great week ahead, thanks for your visits and comments, always a pleasure, Francine.
