Day One Hundred Seventy Eight 2010

Summer Sunday Afternoon

Red, ripe, juicy, sweet, seedless. What more can I say. Watermelon at Bistro Ranft was to die for.

"Look," says Neil, "a 45 degree triangle." He then proceeds to explain to me how those differ from an isosceles triangle. He can be so romantic.

Summer sky.

Hydrangea is one of my favorite flowers.

We have several that never bloomed until this year. I hear it's because of the rainy Spring.

Buddy Cat stopped by to sprawl out and watch me take pictures of hydrangeas. He likes to be where the people are. He's my good buddy (when he's not bugging me for food). Another new week. Have a good one, y'all!

Saturday is always worth more than 12 points.

Neil started mulching today. Weeds be gone. We hope.

Speaking of weeds ...

Lunch With Vampires And Werewolves

Neil and I had lunch at Burger King with Edward, Bella, and Jacob. There was more for us since vampires don't eat.

I claimed the Edward Cullen cup, of course. Neil was stuck with Jane who glared at him the whole time with her piercing red eyes.

I chose Team Edward to scratch off my game piece, but no cigar. If I'd chosen Team Jacob, I'd have won a milkshake. Neil chose Team Jacob and lost. Team Edward would have gotten him a free cheese burger. Oh well. Life is full of choices. Hope the rest of your TGIF sparkles with possibilities. Choose wisely.

Relief

Finally, some much needed rain around lunch time today. It blew in and back out pretty quickly, but it dropped the temperature enough to feel a big difference from the oppressive almost 100 degree heat we've been enduring the past several days.

Another storm rolled across our area again late this afternoon, bringing storm clouds of Biblical proportions.

Turned out to be more bluster than substance, dropping the temperature even more. Hooray for that. This crazy heat makes me long for Autumn days. Wishing everyone a calm evening as we head into TGIF.

Blast From The Past ...

Grand daughter Shelby was already a little mermaid around this same time three years ago.

Granny And The Grand Kids: Self-Portrait. It ain't easy taking a picture of yourself and two squirmy kiddos, but here we are, three years ago. I'm always amazed by how much they've grown in such a short time. But I guess kid-time is really a lifetime. Happy middle of the week, everyone!
