One evening

 We finally got a little rain in South Texas, so the grass has greened-up a bit. Mornings and evenings are a nice time to be outdoors, but the daytime temps are still in the mid 90's.

 Rascal has really grown and no longer looks like a kitten.

 That makes me kinda sad!

 I often see deer just outside my yard fence. That evening, I saw 2 bucks and 3 does.

 They didn't hang around when I went outside!

 I'm trying to decide if I should attempt a fall garden or not. We are still quite dry. I wanted to try planting Romanesco Broccoli. Of course, I still need to find the seeds.

I was awakened at 2:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, by the stinging of a scorpion. That was my third time to be stung on my finger while sleeping in my bed.(In about 5 years) I'm trying to get my husband to switch sides of the bed with me. haha He's not going for it.

Fridge Love!

 After the first new fridge was replaced with the second new fridge because the ice-maker wasn't working, I am in love with it! The replacing part was a pain. It meant moving a curio cabinet and my antique sewing maching/end-table. It also meant removing the front door. Twice, mind you.

 But now! Ahhh, so much space. (Also, no out-of date food or dabs of unrecognizable left-overs! Maybe I shouldn't admit that one!)

 I love the bottom freezer drawer. It is a Frigidaire Gallery. I think we have now replaced all of the appliances that were installed when we built this house 13 years ago--dishwasher, range, hot water heater, AC/heating unit and now fridge.

A Mum and a Fridge.

 The week of Homecoming and fridge woes is over! This is my worktable in mum-making chaos! I was rather anxious about making my first mum. I am so indecisive!

 When it came time for the long streamer ribbons, I had to move to the floor.

 Voila, the finished mum for Destiny. The hat is in honor of her being in the drill team.

 This is Brian's mum-garter made by Destiny's mom. I am so glad she finished it last weekend and sent it home with Brian. It helped me so much to have an example to follow.

 The cute couple in their finery. Please notice that his tie was chosen to coordinate with her dress!

Now for a photo with the mums.
Drought vs Rain update! We are finally getting rain--which is why the photos had to be taken indoors! The rain is so desperately needed that we can't complain about that inconvenience.
Hopefully, the fridge saga is over with the delivery of the second fridge this morning. More on that later.
