I was just thinking....

Those words normally scare me. My husband uses them a lot. Every time he starts a sentence with "I was just thinking...." I reply with "Oh, no. Now what". It is usually a prelude to something he wants to try change around the house that I'm not sure I want done. Or it is a new dish he wants to concoct for supper that, while others would love it, his picky wife...moi!...will probably not like.

But when I was preparing my blog this morning, a bazillion (well at least 20) ideas went through my head. But none was enough for a whole post. So, I was just thinking...

 I must have turned the A/C too low when I went to bed last night. I had to drag out flannel pj's and socks this morning because it is so cold in here....yet it is supposed to get up to 96 degrees today.
Okay, I starting to get over summer. I'm ready for cooler fall temps. I'm ready to put away the flip flops....well, almost ready. I need some new fall shoes to wear with jeans. But I want comfort and something that just slips on. Most slip ons are not that easy to slip on but I kind of like these from Sketchers. They slip on but have an adjustable Velcro strap. Not necessarily the cutest shoes in the world, but I'm liking them.
Check these flowers out. Due to so much rain and so little time, I didn't plant flowers in my patio pots this year. We just turned the dirt over and aerated it and let it set for fall for my mums. But about a month ago a "weed" sprouted in one of the pots and I thought it looked like a marigold so I let it be. Lo and behold, a month later, look how much my little "weed" has grown.
Then a few days ago, in another pot that we normally put tomatoes in, my hubby spotted this little plant coming up. I swear it looks like the leaves of the tomato plants we grew last year. Do you think it could be? I'm not a farmer so not real sure but he is pretty sure it is.
My grandson Caleb was looking in his uncle truck last night when the door shut on its own and knocked him into the bolt for the latch on the door frame. He bruised his little nose pretty bad. His mommy said that, amazingly enough, there was no blood and it's not broken. I'm sure he'll be hurting for a few day.
Aren't these the cutest little puppies ever. They are strays that showed up on my son's doorstep. He was very firm with the family that NOBODY was to feed them. Well, guess who had to eat his own words when he got them a plate of food. I knew he'd cave in. He's a softy when it comes to dogs. I hope he ends up keeping them. I'm not going to get anymore grandchildren, so maybe a couple of new granddogs would be a nice addition to the family. I think he should name them Midnight and Sunshine since they are as different as day and night.

I love following blogs. Each and everyone I follow is special in it's own way. Some inspire me with stories of faith & hope. Some make me want to clean and organize and redecorate the house. Some provide me with great craft or decor ideas. I have laughed with you and at times I have cried with you. I've prayed for your loses, your health, your finances. I have rejoiced in your births, your blessings and your joy. You are each special in your own way and I think you are 1 in a Million. You are each "fearfully and wonderfully made" and you are beautiful in who you are. So I would like to present each of you with the SO BEAUTIFUL blog award. Please feel free to grab the button and post it on your blog. Pass it on to other bloggers who you think are beautiful as well.
