Pictures of Now



Do you like this lemon yellow sunflower?  It's growing in the crazy cosmos bed and I must pull some things to make more room.  I hate pulling up flowers.

Here's a cozy spot for you to sit. 

The sky has been very blue.

I washed my bunny slippers.

Tim likes having us home a bit more.  He has two possible laps for his multiple naps.

Sondra and I went exploring and ate our lunch by the river.


We came upon adorable nuns! 
I've been loving this day-by-day book.  It's so good to pray scripture.  I like saying God's WORD when I pray.
I'm cross stitching a little, so I was sort of sorting threads😂 and I'm not sure I'm an organized cross stitcher. 
August is full-on flower time and the blooms in our garden are so happy looking.  Today I took a little nap in the sunshine (it was a little cloudy, so bearable heat-wise).  I know I want to savor summer.  I'm really hoping for a little wood stove to go in the fireplace spot so I can make my hobbit hole a bit warmer.  Bill doesn't like to mess with wood, so it might not happen.  It's fun to think about though! Cold weather is a long way away.
God bless you.  Thank you for coming by to say hello!

How lilliputian the cosmos looks standing in front of that big, sunshiney sun flower. Your reading spot looks cosy. Aah....to read Anne of Green Gables. I must pull out my Anne if Green Gables collection again and re-read for the millionth time. =) I am just in the mood to re-acquaint myself with Anne and Diana. It must be fun to go on walks with your friend and enjoy lunch by the river. Enjoy your summer days, dear Pom Pom.

Oh, a hobbit hole with larders full of hung hams and jars of jam. I suppose that's what we've all been living for a while now!

Pretty place to have lunch and adventures. I would love to nap like a cat, sleep all day. LOL. Your bunny slippers are happy to be clean . Blessings, xoxo, Susie

It's always fun to read about how you enjoy life in your home and outside of it. Looks like a worthwhile book...
Happy August!

I think that sunflower is just lovely - so different! The lemon color is bright and pretty.
I am ready for autumn, as always :) Your woodstove idea sounds heavenly! If Bill doesn't like fiddling with wood (understandable), could you put a little gas stove in there instead? I've always wanted one of those. Or they make electric ones you can plug in, and they look like a fire and put out heat. I've been tempted with those -- not as authentic or satisfying as real wood, of course.
Take care, and enjoy the end of your warm summer! We are waiting for a kind-of hurricane.

I love the lemon sunflower! I'd leave it there or else cut it and bring inside.

Hi, Tim! meow!

Hi PomPom, My hand is less swollen and I can type again.
I love that blue sky and the summery clouds in your photos! I'm trying to savour summer too but when the thermometer hits 30 I melt. Summer is lovely but Fall is even better.

A cheery sunflower, a happy little trail, cute nuns, a mushroom lunch pail (?), thoughts of wood stoves (in the future), scriptures to pray. What a lot of good things! God bless you and yours! :)

Beautiful photography, Pom Pom. And such a cheerful, refreshing post. I've never seen a sunflower that shade of yellow. Beautiful! I want to paint it.

Your photos are always so beautiful dear Pom Pom & I could look at those blue blue skies all day long. Lovely to come across the Nuns out in the fresh air. Love that shade of sunflower - you have reminded me to dig out my seeds for sowing next month. xx

Wonderful photos!! I'm glad you are doing well. We are pretty hot up here lately but the mornings are cool. Trying our best to have fun on our own. Stay safe. Kit
