July 31, 2026 – Dreary Last Day of July 2026

adminLeave a comment

It is warm and drippy outside, this last day of July 2026. I spent part of the day drowning Japanese beetles in soapy water, part of the day getting a crown put on a broken tooth, and I started some sourdough loaves after dinner. We had chili for dinner.

Sourdough – has some work to do!

I am so excited, DD comes home from camp tomorrow! She has been gone the last five nights and I miss her. A good part of the week was very hot and I know she didn’t have air conditioning in her cabin. I hope she had fun.

July sunsets were beautiful this year!

Our garden is coming along nicely. I am excited to have sunflowers, pumpkins, and cucumbers this year. We haven’t planted those in years!

One of our little sunflowers ❤️🙂

July was ok. I am happy to move on to August now. I hope you had a wonderful July and your August is even better!

January 30, 2026 – Pretty Red Amaryllis!

Hello! A couple of weeks back, I received an amaryllis plant from some dear friends. How exciting! I would see amaryllis bulbs for sale at Christmas when I worked at the garden center years ago. I finally have one of my own!

Amaryllis Bulb Now and Before, So Pretty!

Soon it will be time to start seeds for the veggie garden. I am excited for that, but for now it is bitter cold in southeast Wisconsin. It’s nice to snuggle up and rest whenever I get a chance. It’s also nice for making plans…

Have a Fantastic Friday, All!
