A Hot Summer is on the Way!

 Well I am pretty sure another hot summer is on its way!  Yesterday when I was leaving work my car said it was 100 degrees and boy was it humid!!  Atleast we didn't have rain yesterday and I don't think we are supposed to today either.  The blue skies are here and there was actually a nice breeze when I took Riley out this morning.  I should get outside and deadhead my daylilies before the heat gets here.  The daylilies have been loving this rain and a few other flowers too.  I have to make sure I watch the new plants I planted last week.  I don't want them to burn up.  Here are just a few things blooming now.

Miniature Roses I bought at work.  I put them in the front flower pot on my porch.  I had pansies in here but they are all done.

My glads.  Love them this year, they are so beautiful!

I have 3 glad arrangements around the house now.  This one is on the kitchen counter.

This one is on the dining room table.  I also have one in the front window on the sofa table .  They are so pretty.

I have been knitting, listening to audiobooks, gardening a little, keep the house clean and that is about it this summer.  Besides work and doing laundry.  I am having a relaxing summer.  I am a little bored without any projects going on, but my Dr. told me I needed to slow down and rest more so that is what I'm doing.

It is hard to see but on top of the armillary that is my little female hummingbird that has been visiting me.  She is teeny tiny!  There are 2 males here also.  I see them fighting for the food I have put on the porch.  They all buzz around that feeder but the little female has ever sat on the feeder drinking for 30 minutes!!  I love watching them.  They are also loving the salvia, canna lilies and bee balm in my garden.

Some of the books I have been reading (which are at 2 different ends of the spectrum) is:

Freida McFadden's, The Tenant

Jan Moran's-Beach View Lane, Sunset Avenue and Orange Blossom Way.  I love this series.

I love to listen to these stories while I'm knitting.  Keeps me entertained!

Well I hope you all have a wonderful summer and it isn't too hot where you live.  I'll be back from time to time!
