June Note Card Party

It's Note Card Party time at A Haven for Vee.  
I don't have a particular theme for this
month, but most of them include water.  It
must be because of the very hot weather we're having.
Most of the photos were taken last year.


This really looks inviting on a hot summer late afternoon.  


A favorite little park I like to visit includes a one-room
schoolhouse very similar to one I attended as a youngster.


The Lake of the Ozarks is a popular summer destination
for many Missourians.


This is one of the several lakes very near my town.  One of
my favorite places to go for snapping sunsets.

Speaking of weather, I had to laugh at something I saw
  on the Weather Channel tonight.  It gave our
temperature as 94 degrees for tomorrow and winds
at 200 mph.  Say what??  200??  I sure hope that was a typo!!
If you don't hear from me again, you'll know the
wind carried me away! 

To see more Note Cards, be sure to visit here.

Until next time...

  3. 200mph? Good heavens! =D

    I think that most of the country would love to be frolicking in that fountain (which I'm sure is not allowed) on a day such as today. It'll be our first truly scorching day of the season.

    Beautiful note card set! Say, have you ever written about your one-house schoolhouse days? How interesting!

  6. Funny Cheryl, we were just at the Shelter Gardens last Wednesday! Love that little school, we have had book club there a couple of times. I think they might have been right about the 200 number! It was downright blustery here and in St. Lou yesterday! Dang it is hot! Even Under the Oaks.

  7. 200 mph...that's funny because our radio host said our low was going to be in the 30's the other night. What's up with the weather peeps lately?

    We will be visiting MO in September. It will be a change from our homestead in Lancaster County, Pa.

  8. Hold on to your hats! 200 mph? Funny stuff!

    We are going to be a scorching 93 degrees and humid and tomorrow 100 degrees! Welcome to summer!

    My husband and I did missionary training in Camdenton - our daughter was born while we were there. What a beautiful place to live!

    Your photos are lovely on this hot day!

  11. Oh my, let's hope they're wrong on that one ;).
    Your pictures are all lovely. I am especially drawn to the one room schoolhouse. So pretty.
    Also, your new header is very striking.
    Keep cool. We're heating up around here too, but fortunately no 200 mph winds in the forecast.

  30. Your sunset is beautiful with this lovely reflection on the water, I can see why you like this place. I would try to go there every evening! How far away is it? I love these flowers around the fountain, and the little schoolhouse is charming. Is it used for any purpose now?

  31. And you aren't even from the "windy city". We have had some nice breezes, though, thank goodness! Wonderful pictures. Especially the sunset

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ha---that wind will blow you all the way to Tennessee... I'll have a bed ready for you!!!!! ha ha

    Great pictures---all of them. I am partial to sunsets --but I also love the little school house and the fountain one.

  34. Lake sunsets are priceless. Love the schoolhouse and you are so right, I could just climb into that fountain as hot as it's been. TAKE CARE.

  35. OOPS! I forgot the note party.
    Beautiful pictures. Any one of them could be a note card. I do believe the one room schoolhouse is my favorite but you can never beat a beautiful sunset.

  36. Your note card assortment is so pretty - water is so cooling in summertime. I love the calm water and the sunset photo. Hopefully the winds never materialized, or at least not at that speed! Scary typo.
