Photo Challenge for August-theme -summer and Say it Saturday.

Yes summer is coming to an end.
Been a rainy and humid one.
Activities still go on no matter what the weather.

Here are my 5 photos for Monthly Blogging Photo Challenge.

Summer time......

........the corn is as high as an elephant's eye. Can even see it reflected in the fishing lake.

 Visiting a friend's master garden......

...........the hot house where plants stay moist and warm and new rootings will happen in the cold of winter.

Where the late evening fun happens....

 .....good friends and a chilled glass of wine so she can make her bottle trees.

Just one of about.......

.......six trees. Gotta drink a lot of chilled wine in the summer garden to make wine bottle trees.

Fresh veggies.....

.......from our son's garden. 

Just had to add one more shot of my Knock-out Roses about to hit the dust.

 These have become the most popular flower in our town as every home and every business establishment have them in their landscape.

They are beauties.

Say it Saturday

Several things to say today.

So disappointed I did not get to attend our grandson's first senior football game last night.

Under the weather.

HH went and watched our grandson Ben make 2 touch downs and they won the game.

Working on a Heirloom blanket for our expected great grandson.

Purchased the Alpaca yarn but it came in a shape I had never worked with before.

 Had to look on You-Tube to find out how to get to this.

HH and I doing it all by hand.

He is watching TV while I struggle to get it onto something.

He has a determined look on his face, for sure.

Finally came up with this idea.

 Mixer and toilet paper holder.

Thanks to Home Health nurse experiences. 

Learning to work without the usual tools.

Initially ordered 4 skeins, since have had to order 4 more.
Blanket is going to be a little larger than I first intended.
That's what happens with make-up patterns.

Finally finished my scarf for the
Pink Project.
Trimmed it with eye-lash thread.

Now to mail it off to the center for distribution.

Well that is all I have to say.

Go here to share what others have to say.

Say it Saturday- A purple swing?" Why yes of course," said I.

This past Thursday I posted about lunch at a friend's house.

She allowed me to post some photos from her home and I have oodles of shots from her garden.

One is this purple swing.

I love purple and green.

Of course there is lots of green in this garden.

Trying to decide whether or not to paint our swing purple.

 
What do you think?

The grands would love it.

A sad, sad day for our community

It is indeed a sad day for our community.

Jason Ellis, a young man serving on our local Police Force as a canine officer was shot and killed at 3 AM on his way home from work.
He was found when someone stopped and called the police from his cruiser.
 

He had been on the force since 2006.
Thank you Jason and our condolences to your family.
His wife and 2 children survive.

No witnesses, no clues yet.
Evil will not survive they will find his killer.

This is happening all over our county more and more.
I pray for his family and for our nation.
