Deck Time - Coffee/Hammock/Animals/Candy/ RAINS ART DATE -

MORNING!

For those of you sweet bloggers that

have been following me since

last summer you know being retired

I started all my mornings on the 

deck with coffee, laptop and 

furbabes. With that said you also know

that the deck was slow in coming around

this yr. Usually I had it ready in March and 

would bring a throw out to cover up with on 

cooler morns. 

Yep, got the deck up and going last 

week. But with the way life has

been my heart was not in it. 

Course working now throws that

off also. 

Well, IT'S FRIDAY and I 

don't work so here I am~

(for those wondering..haha if any- that

is a clay pot sauce that I painted 

last yr for coasters on the deck)...

Coffee on the deck!

I had planned on making it to 

TN School for the Blind's

graduation this morning but

I stayed out on the deck late last night

and due to CRAP I mean,

beautiful spring like items

in bloom I woke with a major

rear kicking headache, and eyes

glued together.

So....here I am.

Allergy pill taken, nose spray done,

coffee, laptop, radio on with sounds

filtering out to the deck, birds singing,

crows yacking and my furbabes....

VEGGING on the deck.

I decided since I was not going to 

graduation I would honor all

those seniors by drinking out 

of my TSB cup.

I keep going back to you folks that

have been reading my blog for a bit

but by now you know, I am a flip

flopper! I flip from this to that in

the space of a few seconds, being in 

a converstaion with me can be fun

for those trying to keep up!

But I do that in my blogging also...

I start out sharing things like pics

of 50's style dresses, pics of my churches

or mailboxes.....but I never stick with 

it for long and I FLOP right over

to something else. 

ANYWAY

thank you for keeping up 

with me!

I hope that I keep you entertained at 

least!

One of the things I think I blogged

about last yr was that I wanted to 

make a swinging bed for my deck.

Wow....sounded great but my days of

making something like that does not

go over too well. Plus, I looked at my

space on the deck and decided that it

would crowd me even more 

then it does now.

So...thanks to being in California in 

the mountains last July with my

son's amazing friends I realized

that I don't need to be afraid of

flipping out of a hammock!

Last night I installed this.

I have it hooked up in a way that when I 

want to sit in the glider or chair

I can unhook

the end closer to the door

and hook it over a hook out of 

view.

So hence the reason allergies have

kicked in this morning...

I laid out in the hammock till late

last night.

The pic below is me this morning.

I normally don't have furbabes

on this blog cause, well you all know

that my furbabes have their own

blog and are well loved on 

social media. Not just blogland

but they have a following on FB

also.

Molly is finding her spot to lay in 

the pic below.

Yep....the KING 

has claimed his spot.

The princess is 

taking it easy.

Chey-bella claimed her cushion.

Right now it is 76 degrees and a cool

slight breeze. I have lots to do in 

the house but will remain here, letting

my allergy meds take hold till

the temps jump up.

Yesterday rain came in and temps

dropped from 93 to in the 80s and

will remain in the mid 80s today.

Its the humid that gets us here

in TN....yesterday, there was NONE

and it was GREAT!

I have been reading about these on 

FB and hearing about them on the news.

So...you know me, I had to try them.

YUMMY....

but way to sweet for me.

I will finish them up cause the taste

is great but 

I will not purchase again. 

I like sweet, this is to sweet!

What is your weather like today?

What are you plans for the weekend?

Have you tried anything new lately?
