Windy today!!

The sun is in and out and so windy, our big heat wave is gone for the season. We had a fantastic very hot Summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All my flowers did amazing of course with a few exceptions my roses took a beating all of them except the knock out roses they held up pretty well.

Pretty isn't it, that's some of my mums behind the Rose.

 All of the rest had a disease all summer but now that its cooler they are getting their last breath.

My Hydrangea it got so tall its up to the window

  this was taken from inside the house.

We added a couple of coach lights on the storage shed 

 I painted the railings on the back deck this week so all in all its been a productive week.

Look at that amazing sky behind the shed

Here's another one of the sky this week.

Last night we went to our monthly book club it is always fun to get together with our Church friends we always enjoy that.

The Guys are out their cutting the grass, is it ever noisy!! all summer we had the windows closed and couldn't hear it but today is a beautiful day in the upper 60s and have them open. I'm thinking of closing them until their gone.. WHOW :)
