Because of the summer heat my time outside has been very limited.
I've missed being outside, spending time in the swing.
The other day I saw my swing from the window and decided to brave the heat and go sit on the porch for a while. Breathing the hot air is so uncomfortable because of my COPD, so I didn't stay out long.
I could see that the heat has taken it's toll on some of the plants, even though Mr D waters regularly.
Even with the temp gage saying 98* it was nice just to be outside.
You can see the heat damage here, but this little plant is holding on. I moved it to a different location and I think/hope it'll do better.
I was about to go in when I had a visitor!
I was sitting in the swing and didn't noticed a little squirrel came to visit. I just happen to look up and there he was, about 5 feet away, just staring at me. I wanted to get a picture but knew if I moved he would scurry away. So we sat there and stared at each other. Eventually he turned and ran down the fence board and off to the treetops. I hope he comes again.
Sometimes the best therapy
is simply stepping outside and admiring what God created.
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22–23, ESV
Happy Birthday shout out to my grandson Matt, and great grandson Henry who is 4 today.
Goodbye Dolly Parton, I will miss you.🦋
Goodbye August, I'm not sorry to see you go! Take this heat with you.
Until Next Time
If we never meet again this side of Heaven
As we struggle through this world and it's strife
There's another meeting place somewhere in Heaven
By the side of the river of life.
