Thought We Were Done With This....!

    Aren't they beautiful?! Yep! In my backyard!! Just in time for the HEAT WAVE!! UGH! Here we go again! Just as my grass was getting back to itself...

    ...with only a few patchy places left.

    But I'm still trying to keep a positive attitude about it because they say that it's only a 4 day heat wave...in the low 90s...We'll see about that!...In the meantime I'm going to bask in the view of my backyard...

    ....hot? Yes...

    ....but inside here, with the air conditioning, it stills looks pretty nice!! :-)

Hubby's potted plants are going to be protected this time though! He's worked too hard to get them back to a revived state to let them just get sun-logged again! They're looking great now, don't you think?!

    Looks like his sunflowers are going to be popping out any minute! That is, if the sun doesn't scare them back into the house to look for some stronger sun tan lotion!!! (*talking to myself* That's what the sun is doing to people...not plants! Silly! ^_^)

    There's only one big leafed plant in the ground in the backyard that he's worried about...

    ...and not because of the sun. He thinks some critters might be munching on it!...Maybe it just needs some sun!! LOL

    Frankly, even if it was cool outside, I wouldn't be out there! For the next 2 weeks the U.S. Open Tennis Matches will be on. I'm going to be right in front of the T.V., with the A/C on for the next few days, and a crochet project or two...or 3! I'm not going to short-change my God and my spiritual schedule, but everybody and everything else that tries to get my attention for the next two weeks are going to find a distracted, half listening conversationalist! That's your warning!! ^_^

The 'Racket' Men

Playing tennis with 'Hewitt'

is more like playing with a wall;

Just when you think you've hit a winner-

Oh No!-Look Out!- Here comes the ball!

'Roger Federer's'  shot

changes fast-and that's his key;

But for steady, angled shots,

catch a game with 'Agassi'.

'Roddick's' serve can part your hair;

It comes so fast across the net.

He just gets stronger every year.

(Don't  think we've seen his fastest yet!)

These guys are good as good can get.

I watch intensely-set by set!
