Lazy, Crazy Days of Summer

Last weekend it was this…

This weekend it is this…much more casual attire!

Nana and Grandpa babysitting for our 4 gkids!  The Bay is about 100 ft away, but it is easier to keep track of them here, and there are jelly fish in the Bay!  Ouch. 

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Summer Sunday! 

In another month or so these summer blooms will be history!

I HAVE to prune my hydrangeas.  They are growing over the garage windows. 

And look how tall they are getting here!  If I don’t cut them back they will be up to the roof next year.Some people say never cut them…I have to disagree!

Here is a very good article on pruning hydrangea.

I am joining Laurie for Favorite Things, and The Tablescaper for Summer Sundays.  Thanks for hosting.

The Tablescaper and I had a marathon shopping trip Thurs., but I will save that for another post!  :) I will just say my maiden voyage to Savers that my friend  Marigene at In the Middle of Nowhere always talks about, was a lot of fun!  I will go back for sure.

  3. Late... again. ;-) The wedding pics are beautiful... love the color choices. I want those shoes, too!!!

    The gkids look like they are having a grand time!

    Ahhh, the summer blooms... soooo beautiful and your yard so green. I am anxiously awaiting fall... triple digits here in the desert southwest. Fall is my favorite time of year.

    Have a great afternoon,

  5. One weekend at a wedding and the next weekend wet! How cute.

    Love the flowers, but am looking forward to cooler weather.

    It is so hot and humid here.

    So who do you know from Atlanta -to look at those bloggers and I do wish you could have come.

    It is a long drive from where you are.

  11. I'm glad my little grands can't see what you have for yours! Mine are happy with the little snake thing that attaches to the hose...of course at one and three, they don't know about those big things yet! Looks like fun:)

  13. Hi Kathleen! It looks as though you have a delightful summer Sunday on a beautiful day. Don't you just hate the thought of all the flowers going away in the next month? I noticed today that chrysanthemums are showing up at the nursery so I guess that's a hint.

  14. Hi Kathleen!

    I'm on the west coast tonight ..on vacation :)

    I love that water slide and pool! I'm sure your grands loved that!

    Was the Savers in Bayshore? My brother told me about one that opened up there.

    Thanks for the hydrangeous link!
