September

Is is September already??? Lordy, Lordy, I sure would not know it by the weather here, It's been hotter than a goats butt in a pepper patch and dryer than a bone. We have had hardly no rain in August. The pastures are drying up, the poor cattle wade into the ponds in water up to their ankles. Oh, please someone do a rain dance for us because mine is not working!

My little package from Bead Trends arrived yesterday with my September submission and the usual eye candy magazine. I feel honored to be amongst many of my talented friends. You can find my bracelet From the Earth on page 115.

I love the cube beads in this piece, the colors are made from shards of glass. These beads were a gift from my good friend Lori of Cedar Swamp Pottery. (If you ask her real nice and tell her I sent you I bet she'll make some for you.)

College boy just called and said he is coming home with company....I need to stock the pantry! I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Stay cool and be safe!

My summer winter has began....

I hate to complain, and I do not do it often but it is damn HOT, 99 degrees ! My summer winter has officially begun! I am treating summer like winter, I can not tolerate this heat and humidity it wilts me and makes me cranky....... I am staying inside where the air conditioner can keep my house a comfy 74 degrees. I have lots to do while I am in my cool shelter...make jewelry, clean, paint...and many other projects I have been putting off. I will only venture out for necessity's like food,playing poker and to check my garden...oh and if my neighbor asks me to swim in her new in- ground pool but that is it!
Well you will know where to find me, I will be the cool calm and collective girl in her clean organized house wearing her bathing suit (just in case).
