Some "this"....Willie came in the other day carrying what was left of my dill plant.....and believe me, there wasn't much left...but there were a couple of these little suckers devouring what WAS left..
...so no more dill for this summer! Thank goodness my parsley and basil are still producing....I do like me some fresh herbs.
Now for some "that"....last Thursday night we followed directions (VERY well I might add...could be 'cause they were excellent directions) to southern Chesapeake and a visit with friends from years gone by (oh, how that hurts to say that....makes us sound soooooo old). Carol and Carl Burroughs
invited us to join them for dinner at their home....can I just say, "YUM, YUM"? Oh, yeah....it was definitely that, and when she brought out the pecan pie....well, it was so much more! It was a great time of reconnecting and fellowship....and sharing stories of life. Isn't it wonderful to know that no matter how many years go by, the love of our God keeps us as family? Thanks, guys, for a wonderful evening....and we look forward to a repeat in OUR humble abode!
And some more "that"...Friday was warm....okay, it was hot...but not as hot as Saturday and Sunday! This area tied the all-time record for high temps two days in a row....105! And on Sunday afternoon the thermometer OUTSIDE our motorhome registered a whopping
....in the shade, no less! Whew.....and the temps INside the motorhome were close to 90! (Yes, the motorhome AC is working, but there is no shade where we are, and our motorhome is NOT designed to deal with this extreme temp on an extended basis.) So we decided it was time for a drive in the airconditioned confines of our car. I had just read that the lotus' were starting to bloom out in Sandbridge, so we made our way there....and I just HAD to get out of the car to take some pictures. Yes, even in the heat....after all, a lotus pond....I couldn't resist.
But I think what I enjoyed most....it's gotta' be the dragonflies! If you look closely, you can spot one in the above picture....left hand side, a little above halfway. See it? If not, here it is....up close...
...love the striped pattern on the wings. One really cool thing about dragonflies is the variety of colors and patterns...
...wings of gossamer....
...and wings of blue. But I have to admit....this guy with the tiger-stripe wings was my favorite of the day.
Isn't it amazing the variety and intricacies of creation that God has created for our enjoyment and entrusted to our care?
BTW - It cooled down considerably yesterday...by 20 degrees...and we thank you for it, Lord!
