Summer Fun And Friday Randoms

Tomorrow is the first day of summer, sez the calendar.

We've been having nice summery days for a few weeks now.  

Yesterday, BG and I were in the yard working.  He was mowing

and I was pulling weeds in the garden when a sudden 

rain shower opened up and poured on our heads.

Laughing, I ran hurried to the house and, for a brief moment, 

I felt like a kid again.  BG was grinning as he tried to catch 

me on the lawn tractor, but I had a head start.  What 

summertime activity that you did as a youngster do you wish

you could do again?  Or perhaps you still walk through 

the rain puddles or ride carousels or bicycles? 

I planted about 4 rows of zinnias and only part of 2 rows came up.

They haven't bloomed yet so the photo above is from last year.

I saved seeds from my last crop and none of them came up.

 For some indoor summer fun, I'm still loving playing around in Photoscape.  I really like the Watercolor Pencil edit. 

My dream free editing site would combine elements of 

Photoscape with PicMonkey.

 

I water my flowers in the evening since I'm usually not an 

early morning person.  I put some plant food around the

 flowers the other day and loosened the soil a bit and gave 

them a good talking to.  lol!  Tell me I'm not the only one

that talks to flowers!  So far, most of the flowers

are thriving.  Now that the hot weather has arrived, it will 

be a challenge to keep them healthy.  Some varieties do better 

than others on my concrete patio.

My little fur-girl is part of the reason I'm not an early 

morning person.  Stormy likes to sleep snuggled up next to me and

while it's nice to have that warm, furry little body close in

the winter time, it's not so much fun in the summer.  

Last night she came to bed and climbed up on my pillow and laid

down at the top of my head with her paws draped over my head.

I could feel and hear her purring and I got tickled.

 I was trying not to laugh and at the same time hoping that she 

didn't hear something strange and dig her claws into my head

to propel herself off the bed to go investigate.  She has never

slept there before and I don't think I'll let her make that a habit!

I have been distracted countless times since I began this 

post today.  I think I'm finally finished and ready to hit the

Publish button.  Have a good weekend!  And...

Happy Friday to you!
