My News Is In Summer Colors!

(Summer Colors Wedding Decoration Heart Tree by Koelnschaetze)

      It's Monday again! :-) You knew it would be back, right?! LOL It couldn't stay 'weekend' forever! ^_^ And guess what else is back for us here in Massachusetts. Questionable weather!! ^_^ Rain and humidity. But not as much humidity as we've had over the last week of the heatwave. It's only 84% humid!!...as opposed to 100% 'snatch-it-out-of-the-air-and-drink-it!' humidity. LOL

     All of this is proof...beyond a shadow of a doubt!...that it's summer!!! :-) Good news, right?!....Uhhhhh....okay. If you say so! I prefer my air conditioner to summer, actually...But I will say, speaking of news, that it's better news than the flash floods, bridge accidents, murders, and home invasions that the local news is full of these days!...but maybe not better news than a brand new baby on the way! :-) Guess whose baby! ^_^ Yeah, that's all over the news too!

     Summer does have a bit of good news associated with it though, other than babies being born, and delicious fruit...just saying! :-) Summer is full of summer color! :-) And I found all kinds of summer color on Etsy...

      ...including the summer color boutonnieres that I made myself over the weekend! ^_^ This one is 'variegated carnation'!...

     I'm telling you...the variegated colors have captured me!! ^_^ But their colors aren't the only ones that have captured me. Look at these summer colors!...

      Don't you just love 'em?!!! :-) They make you wanna plan a summer party, re-decorate your house in summer colors for it, and make fruity colored drinks...just so you can put them in pretty jars, and hand them to your friends with colorful umbrellas in 'em!! ^_^ ... Or is that just crazy ME?!! LOL

     I'm not as crazy as you think though, because I won't be doing any of the above in this rain and humidity!! LOL I'll be studying, reading my Bible, and crocheting the day away! :-) ...

       I'll look at summer my way. You look at summer your way! ^_^ But however you look at it, have a good Monday, Everybody! :-)

Summer Is The Sun

Summer is the sun
that makes the sweat down your face run,
when you're having so much fun.
Now the school year is all done;
Your 'Playing' homework has begun.

Summer is the sun,
when your vacation web is spun,
and all your money is down to none.
A dollar bill-you've got just one.
That there's no cash is quite a stun.
But Oh! The memories that were won,
because summer is the sun.

A Little This.........A Little That!

     Yeah!...I'm starting my 'Virtual' Friday Date Night blog post today with a beautiful photo of somewhere cool...watery...vacation-y...Ahhhhhhhh! :-) Oh Yeah! We have to go 'THERE!'...NOW!! ^_^ And we will!! LOL
      Actually, 'ANYWHERE' is better than Holyoke in a heatwave!!^_^ Yep! We're still ♫ having a heatwave ♫, and it's suppose to actually be hotter today than it's been any of the other days!...up to 100 degrees maybe!!...*gulp!* O_O
    My mother-in-law must've been sweltering!! O_O She must have been sweltering when she was in the house, I mean, because part of the day she was in the dentist's office! O_O YIKES! Which is worst...having your house the temperature of the right hand side of the sun, or sitting in a dentist's chair, having them tell you that you need a root canal and a crown that costs a gazillion dollars?!! O_O

      In other news, I just saw on the news that the city of Detroit Michigan is filing for bankruptcy! O_O WOW!...In the first place, I didn't know that cities could file for bankruptcy!...and in the second place, how sad is it that the place with the nickname "The Motor City", (because of it's automotive center), and "Motown" (Oooooo! The music!!!),  could go bankrupt after giving a lot of us such 'rich' history!! :-(

       Something else that was interesting was this chart about the differences between how men and women see color!...

     I'm sure that not everyone will agree with this...but in the Wug household...it's soooooo true!!! ^_^ Hubby sees 'one' color, not shades of color!...and sometimes even the colors themselves get blurred. For instance, pink and red are the same color to him. And sometimes with the two colors right next to each other he still can't see the difference!
    I can't tell you how many times I've been filling an order and asked hubby to hand me the red one, or the wine red one, or the brick red one, or the blood red one, or the orange red one, etc....and ended up instead with a hubby glare! ^_^
      I thank Happy Mango Beads for letting me see the chart. She shared it on her Facebook page. :-) ... By the way, I took a quick look at HappyMangoBeads Etsy shop too! :-) I found these gorgeous beads!...

        Hmmm...I wonder what color hubby would say these gorgeous beads are?! :-)

       Lastly, for today, I spent some time crocheting some variegated  boutonnieres yesterday, for my Wuglyees shop...

Bright Orange Variegated...

Baby Pink Variegated...

And...Violet Variegated...

      There's all kinds of other stuff I could talk to you about today!...but I won't. ^_^ I'll give you a break so you can go off and plan your weekend...just like me!! ^_^ But I will leave you with one of the cutest videos I've seen in a while. Be prepared to "Awwwwwww!"




Have a good weekend Y'all!!!! :-)

Weekend

Weekend Folderol;
Lollygagging, having fun;
Makes working up to Friday
worth the paperwork you've done.

Your job, all week, came first,
but now it's time for a little jaunt;
or to lay around the house
and just do nothing, if you want!

A little this. A little that.
A bit of fun had out of doors.
A little weeding in the garden.
And a little bit of chores.

Some weekend folderol,
all alone or with your friends.
Or some chit chat with your neighbors,
new acquaintances or kin.

A Weekend that's all planned,,
or simply finding things to do;
Because every Monday will be back
and you'll need something to look forward to!
