still...

hot and humid here and the a/c is still
a' crankin'.....

i am NOT a happy camper...

i really thought the other night that things had
broken as i was able to sit outside for a bit
and actually felt a breeze....
but...didn't work out as i thought...

as most things in life don't these days...

i am in the sunset of my years..as they say..
and i cannot count on any two days being the
same anymore...

being a virgo ..this has really been.. and still continues
to be ...a challenge for me...

however...not much choice as mother nature
trumps it all....

it is *interesting* being in these sunset years to say the least...
one never thinks about it beforehand...
at least i didn't...i guess i didn't know what to expect
so i just didn't think...
but it is *interesting*...

hope you are all well..blogettes...

stay that way...

and the *heat* goes on...

well...looks like we are surely in the
middle of a heat wave here at 9 rowland...

as stated before...NOT my fave...
today ..however...does seems a tad less humid...

i shut the air conditioning down for a bit and
opened a couple of windows...it was nice
to hear the birds chirping just the way
God intended ....

i see my chiropractor/acupuncturist two times
a week...monday being one of those days...
started a new protocol and the needles go
on the inside of the fingers...smarts a little
but hopeful it will do its trick....

enough rambling for today....

just wanted to touch base with any blogettes
that might pop in...

when my heart sinks a bit as it does sometimes
in life...i try to remember that i am never alone...

stay well....

hot and sticky and yuck...oh my...

'afternoon blogettes...

well here it is july 5th and it is hot sticky and yuck..
to my liking anyways...

most people get SAD in the winter with the shorter
daylight hours...however...me..being me...get
it in the summer in the ..yep..you got it...
hot sticky and yuck weather...

i am cocooned inside with the a/c on which then
brings on a myriad of sinus stuff....
looking outside at the pretty yard but not
about to venture out...

one nice thing though...the littles...aka lucas and
shelby...now enjoy our pool...

so maybe i won't look at july and august
as hot sticky and yuck so much anymore...

littles do that to grammies!

enjoy your day...

be well...

happy fourth of july.....

happy fourth of july....

i guess it has been *forever* since i posted...

my cousin..janie...started a blog today and it
gave me a bit of an incentive to get back on here again...

it's been a *year* here at 9 rowland...actually it's been a couple
of *years*...but we are still here to chat and blog about it...

been doing a lot of facebooking and a bit of pinterest...
health issues have kept some things at bay but we
continue to bob and weave...

have a safe and happy holiday...

thanks for taking the journey with me...

be well...

it's been a while...

'morning...

it's been a while

since i have posted...

to say that life has

been challenging is

a way understatement..

when things are amiss in my

life ...i i feel so scattered and

can't quite get myself together...

lots of hurts and disappointments....

lots of people turning the other way

when they could be of comfort...

i am trying to work my way thru

all that but it is tough....

don't mean to *dump* it all here..

but i guess that that is what

blogland is all about ...

the good the bad and the ugly...

we added a new bathroom 

to the back of 9 rowland...

i actually love it...

did a few minor renovations in

the kitchen too...love that also...

still in all..when a heart is broken

into a bazillion little pieces...the joy

doesn't hang around long....

i have had so many changes in my

life this past year or so...it is sometimes

hard to catch my breath...

those that i wished had come along

for the ride chose not to....

that smarts...

well...on a good note..it is bright

and sunshiney today and i will

do my best to enjoy the moments

i can...

hope you have sunshine with you today...

thanks and love to you all...

stay well....

the crowning glory...

'afternoon blogettes...

just added the 

finishing touch

to the

outhouse/shed...

can you see it?

a beautiful

copper

hummingbird

weathervane...

*the*

crowning glory

of the 

whole project...

as always....

thanks for taking

the journey

with me..

it makes it so

much more enjoyable

and 

comfortable

knowing 

you are 

alongside me...

be sure to keep 

that

love and sunshine

in your hearts

today

and always...

be well.....

warmly.........susan

mrs. dalleywater and the two seater...

'evening blogettes...

nice couple of days

here at 

9 rowland...

unfortunately...

messed up my

back yet again

and 

am now donning

my wonder woman

wannabe

back brace..

however...

i am thankful

for it.....

as it is about 

the only thing 

i

can take/use 

for the pain ...

a couple of posts back..

i told you about my

little shed..

two seater outhouse..

in need of a new roof...

in the interim...

i got locked in there..

and being the

claustrophobic gal

that i am..

i pushed out one

of the screens

to open from the outside..

phew!

because as i shared w/my

facebook friends..

it would have most probably

taken mr b several

hours to realize 

that i was MIA..

and by then ..

i would have been

really

beside myself...

well on to the roof...

the copper that i truly wanted was

way too expensive

even for me..

who could win

any shopping diva

award around...

here's a before

shot...

the beginning..

 and...now..

aside from maybe

adding a little

purty weathervane

sometime in the future...

here's the finished product...

faux slate

and a touch

of copper..

love it!

whatcha' think?

i am sure my 

mrs dalleywater

is smiling down from

the heavens

with 

utter approval....

she was one special

lady....

be sure now to leave

me a note with

your thoughts...

as always..
thanks for taking
the
journey with me...

it makes it

so
much more
pleasant

having
you by my side..

be sure to keep
that
love and sunshine
in your hearts
today and always...

be well...

warmly.........susan
