Hello, my friends.
I hope you’re enjoying this holiday weekend. We are – the weather today is lovely, lots of sun, temps will be in the low eighties – a perfect day. Though, as we installed our downstairs window A/C unit about 30 minutes ago, I detected some humidity in the air.
But, it’s not raining. It’s sunny. The gardens are looking lush. I’m going to install myself on the porch for as long as possible. Don is off taking portraits.
The sofa cushions, by the way, are much more comfortable today. They just need some ‘sitting on’ to break them in, which we’ve been happy to do.
I’m going to take the day off tomorrow. I think most of you are enjoying your downtime and aren’t necessarily online. Good for you! So let’s all take a break and I’ll see you on Tuesday morning.
Remembering our soldiers who have lost their lives in battle.
A sacrifice beyond imagining.
Happy Sunday.

Sounds like a lovely day Claudia. I’m waiting for Ashleigh to arrive and then have a full weekend with family.
Claudia says
How long will Ashley be staying, Linda?
Linda @ A La Carte says
They will leave on Thur. A good visit for sure!

Well…when the weather is nice, it’s only logical to spend more time outdoors, isn’t it? And you have such a lovely porch…why not enjoy it while you can.
We are off to finish our last two projects at the future DIL’s house. Yeah! At least we are outside enjoying this nice weather. Then, we’ll come home and hopefully finish our last project here. Fingers crossed. I’m not doing a thing tomorrow, except relaxing, and remembering.
Enjoy your day on the porch today…and tomorrow! ;)
Claudia says
We did the same. Relax and remember. xo

Attended my youngest’ college grad yesterday. A day full of positive emotions. A bit of sadness that my late husband wasn’t sitting beside me, but we all knew he was with us. Enjoy the nice weather from your porch, Claudia. I miss the porch from my previous house.
Claudia says
So lovely! Congratulations to your daughter (and you, as well!)

Sounds wonderful! It is hot here in NC – and humid. I was out this morning but it is just too hot for the remainder of the day. I do miss northern summers. Enjoy your day tomorrow. I am recovering from an upper respiratory infection. Hate being on antibiotics, but they are sometimes necessary.
Claudia says
I feel the same. I avoid them but sometimes you have to take them. Hope you’re feeling better, Jane!
Marilyn says
Enjoy your week end and your new couch. Remembering all those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Family today including my 92 yo FIL, a WW2 pacific theater vet, relaxation tomorrow. Of course I’m sure some garden projects will pop up as usual but they will be fun ones, not the usual back breaking ones. They’ll get the day off as well. Enjoy your porch. It’s just lovely.
Claudia says
Yes, I’m at that place where all I have to do is prune and weed and mow the lawn. Thank goodness!
