Happy Friday, everyone! It is humid here in the Northeast and although I love, love summer, I find myself thinking of crisp fall days with not a trace of humidity in the air. The garden is losing its prettiness and everything is looking just a bit droopy. Bless the impatiens in these tubs. They are dependable; blooming and blooming into the fall.
It is time for a little catching up. I’ve been neglecting to post about some awards I received. Here we go. First up, a thank you to Leeann of The Old Parsonage for this award.
Thank you Leeann!
Another thank you to Julie at Working on a Dream for two awards:
Thank you, Julie!
And, finally, thank you to Bunny of The Creative Hare for this award.
I’ve posted about this award before – thank you Bunny!
I am always so touched when I receive an award and am ever grateful that my fellow bloggers would think to honor me. Bless you. Since I have a well-known problem deciding just who to pass these awards on to (you are all so wonderful), I pass them on to all my creative blogging friends.
I forgot – the other day, Don and I were sitting in the living room and Riley calmly went over to the basket (on the floor) that we keep books in. One of those books is the aforementioned bird book. He put it between his teeth, picked it up and walked away with it. Don, amazed at what he was seeing, yelled “Hey!” – I then proceeded to grab the book and say “NO!” Riley looked hangdog. But then Don said that he thought Riley was picking the book up like a toy – because we have a basket of toys in the den that both dogs use. Duh! Of course! Why should Riley know that one is okay and the other is forbidden? So I gave him lots cuddles and we will just make sure the basket is out of temptation’s way before we leave the house!
Finally – don’t forget the giveaway! If you’ve missed the information for some reason, just scroll down to the previous post. You have until midnight tonight to enter. And you might just be the winner and get your very own blog post signature!
See you tomorrow for Pink Saturday and the giveaway winner!
Pretty blog and lucky you for all those awards! I haven’t read much here yet – but I intend to – but you must be rather good for all this praise! :) xxx

i’m wilting a bit in this heat myself.

yea, congratulations!!!
Congrats on all your awards! Poor doggie, the ways we confuse our poor puppies. Maybe he just wanted to read it!
Awww…poor Riley…no wonder he is confused.
You need to come back over here to San Diego..no humidity :-)
Good ‘ol impatiens! Even in my sister’s Texas heat and humidity they’ve survived gloriously this summer! They look beautiful in the white tubs, Claudia!
Poor Riley! It’s like the other day here I thought Oliver (my Dachshund who is just one year old) peed on the floor, only to discover that my washing machine was leaking! Bad on me! LOL!!
Congratulations on the awards, Claudia! You deserve them!
See you tomorrow for Pink Saturday!
Hugs,
Teresa
