Drive in the country

Sizzling August...hot humid days and thundering summer rainshowers blowing through each day. I'm thinking back to a cooler time....months past...a time with no "virus" or social distancing. Masks?--wearing masks in public, what? Nice sixty degree days where one could wear a long sleeve flannel shirt against the ocean's chill.

Let's take a little drive........to Edisto Island

We took a drive out to Edisto back in December. I was intrigued with this "Christmas tree" out in the middle of a field!

Scenes along the way:

Lots of small houses and country churches like this out there

Lonely old country roads

It was a misty, mysterious day

Fog and spray was rolling in.......

Bindie and Tammie love to go to the ocean!

Happy Girls! (all three of us! LOL)

Love winter days on the beaches......no crowds....peaceful and quiet.

this dog could run SO FAST!

(I wrote this--below-- back in April I think)

"I am missing our walks on the beaches and hope things will be improving very soon.
Some have opened "with restrictions" meaning you must keep moving, you can't take a lawn/beach chair and sit and relax. You can't take a nice long paperback book and read in the sunshine or sit on a beach blanket and have a picnic---you must "keep moving" so that what you are are doing is technically "exercise".
What restrictions are in place in  your city/town?"
*****************************************
...and here's two books I have in my "waiting to read" stack. I haven't read either of these yet, but they say Edisto--so I hope to get to them soon!

Have any of y'all read Beth Webb Hart?

Hope your August week is going great!

Around town

 Well, it's August. And it's hot. And I'm starting to long for some nice cool breezes, how bout y'all?

Happy happy birthday to somebody who is Nine years old today!:

Bright, pretty, FUN! I love these balloon creations they make nowadays!

Here goes a lovely white carriage

...........yes, if you look closely you can see a happy bridal couple nestled in there.....beginning their own story, and their own future on this day.

Cracks in cement, vines, and bright trumpet blooms

Remember the long pods from my last post?--I asked if anyone knew what they were. These trumpet vines have long seed pods too, but I still don't think they are as big as the mystery pods. "Changes in the Wind" blog over in Arizona says it looks like "cat's claw".

Today's "arm candy", LOL. Here's one of my "wrist corsages" that I make. I like playing around with different colors and flowers.

Nope, no "prom" or wedding in sight......ha ha LOL--I'm wearing mine with denim capris--just because I darn well feel like it. LOL When we "get old" we can do that, right?! ha ha

Double arm candy today. Sometimes I just crack "myownself" up! ha ha

Things zooming around the city today:

Neat old cars and this little boy pedaling the bike while little brother is sitting in the basket eating pizza! Fun!

Do we think Breanna said "yes!"?

Lots of great people watching today!

Oh I just love this lady's outfit!--the beige summer tiered frock and white summer sandals to match her white dangly earrings, so pretty. Her hair is swooped up to stay cool and look at that sweet little summer pocketbook!

Although it's a blurry picture, I love the print on this lady's summer dress too.

Below, ladies in pink:

........and ladies in pastels.

The picture below made me a nervous wreck.....ha ha! LOL---I was hoping they would not FORGET, lean backwards, and tumble right out of that window!

Oh, here's another one of those beautiful balloon decorations!

How in the world do they twist and make these things?--I think they are so pretty!

YES! It's suppertime...........time to head home, y'all! So glad y'all visited with me today, and many thanks for all your sweet and fun comments. I hope everybody has a great weekend!
