I just love blue flowers, even the invasive Morning Glory, they are blooming now each morning, covering my arch, making me smile. I can't resist a pretty flower! August is proving to resemble June, with mild fall like weather. I'm noticing the trees are starting to turn, leaves are yellowing and falling. Seems early to me, but Mother Nature knows best, I hope? Makes me wonder though, what lies ahead....I'm getting in the clean out, stock up mode. How about you? Do you change things up with the seasons? Do you like change? I welcome it in most cases, I don't like boredom!Today is the anniversary of losing Julia Child, she passed away in 2004. I'm still waiting for the movie "Julie and Julia" to make it to my small town movie house and all her books are checked out at the library with a waiting list. But her PBS cooking show is coming back next month and they will also be releasing a DVD set. In her honor, I'll be making one of her famous chocolate cakes soon, just a little Julia fix till I can see the movie or get my hands on one of her books.
Have you left me a comment yet for my summer giveaway, it ends the 15th so you have till Saturday to get entered. Just scroll down to the post about the giveaway and share your favorite part of the summer with us. I'll draw a winner on Sunday, after church and lunch. Good luck!
Fall is only 40 days away, I think I can hold out to decorate till then, maybe? School starts here next week too, before we know it, it will be Christmas and then another new year. Why does time go by faster the older you get? Just a thought for today.......
I can't wait to see the movie either! I want to wait until all the hype calms down to get the book :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

I want to see the movie, too. I have always wanted some morning glories but they won't grow for me. Maybe I should try them again!
ReplyDeleteI like that old invasive Morning Glory. I`ll take any color I can get out here! How nice that the leaves are turning. We`re still very warm and humid. That`s wonderful that Julia Child shows will be airing again. Thanks for the heads up.

Oh thank you for the lovely morning glory picture!!!
ReplyDeleteI love Morning Glories, too, Sue. They are just so pretty. My mom had them growing up the side of our house when I was a child and I loved to run out on summer mornings and look at them!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the Julia Julia movie, too. The trailer to it looks great!
Hey Sue, I want to make that rootbeer cake and it says to melt cocoa..what exactly are they talking about? I have all the ingredients..but not sure about this one..:)
ReplyDeleteI like to change things about with the seasons - though fall is my least favorite (shhhhhhh don't tell anyone but I don't care for the earthy fall colors). I suppose because our summers are so delightful here we don't pine away for the cooling breezes of fall like a lot of places do that have miserable hot, muggy summers. Ours are pleasant and about 75 and so wonderful. I think spring is my first favorite season - I love to decorate for spring - then summer is second. Though I do love the rainy fall and winter seasons too - I like most all weather so long as it doesn't get hot and muggy.
ReplyDeleteSo true! The older I get, the faster time goes. Also, I get slower, which is not fair.
ReplyDeleteAbout the photo programs: I use Picasa for mosaics only. I use Photoscape for the frames & quick resizing of pictures etc. I also use Photoshop when I have time to play. And I'm sure there's one more I'm forgetting! If you get the photoscape program, you'll find the cool frames :) -Tammy
Beautiful flower photo! I don't like change much, but I guess I don't like boredom either. I am still waiting for "Julie & Julia" to reach my small town movie theater too. I am impatient!
ReplyDeleteI've already been stocking up on dried pasta and beans ... all on sale. :) You know how much I like my bean soup in the Fall. I'm trying to learn to make Lo Mein. Never tried it before, always ate rice, but I'm in love with the sauce for the noodles now and want to make my own. Have also been stocking can goods so that I don't have to be out when it snows. That is, if we get any this year. :) xxoo
