It's July

It's July!!!!

The sunrise has been glorious.

The days are bright and hot

The blue hour last night was perfect.

The sunsets are so beautiful .

The full moon was golden
and
the night sky is filled with summer stars.

It's July!

I wanted everything at the farmer's market!!!

Strawberries, plums, berries and peaches
along
with a bottle of French lavender oil
came home with me!

It's July!

This year the stink bugs won the battle for the tomatoes
but
the mockingbirds
flew away to eat red berries
and
left the last of the figs for me!

It's July!

The water is warm
perfect
to float in the pool and run in the waves.

It's July!

Just the right time
to enjoy
on these hot days and starry nights
Cuban style red snapper, fresh peach ice cream and hotdogs!!

It has been a month
of
red, white and blue, wave the flag and fireworks!





Oh My!!
It is only the first week of July.

  3. I can almost see you jumping for joy. That scarecrow is funny. I used to dress mine up too. The outfits would literally shred in the hot summer sun and rain. I loved looking at it.

  9. Ah yes, the dog days of Texas summer! I remember them well, after spending 21 years there, I moved back home to Louisiana and traded triple digit temps and tornado sirens in for muggy humidity and hurricanes...Loved visiting your site; came by way of Katherine's Corner and am now your newest follower! Happy Thursday!
