Just wanted you to see how hard Barney and Nin are working in this heat ~ I am sure they put the rest of us to shame ~
The thistle grew so quickly and is covered in blossom and seems to attract the Bees so we are leaving it there for the time being ~
We have company for a few days Anna ~ Rob and Leo have come to stay and Leo has grown so much since we last saw him and is nearly walking on his own ~ just a help in hand from his Daddy ~
I just love this weather we are having at the moment it seems the Sun is here to stay for a few days enjoy it while we can ~
Do you remember when it was cold and snowing just thought you would like a reminder ~

I'm about to go do my best Barney and Nin impersonation..."! Jae
hi Ally...
enjoy your company...have a good week!
Astra!
Drinking lots of ice water
that part I really like about hot
weather. Vincent, 11, took apart
our big fan, removed the dirt and
grey fluff stuff accumulated, so
now the fan is three times faster.
The airconditioner in the bedroom
we save for even hotter weather.
(Afraid of getting a cold.)
No dogs to cool off yet, ha ha ha ha.
(It's hot in England??!?)

we call the white one Queen Annes lace.... some people paint it white after it drys and use it on a Christmas wreath etc... Sandra
Oh its a hard life Ally ,poor Nin Barney and Scooby ,have a lovely few days with Anna and Rob and little Leo ,pictures please .....Jan xx
Hello Ally - awww Barney and Nin look so cute all stretched out - and i love those butterfly lights, did lynn get them from the garden centre? We are enjoying this weather too, but i have just heard that giant hailstones are on the way - now do you think that you posting that snowy scene had anything to do with that ? eh?
Luv Jayne x
It's a dog's life right enough......they look so comfortable stretched out like that!! Enjoy spending time with your visitors.
Hugs,
Love the snow scene. The dogs look all wrung out by the heat, like Gabi is. It's actually cooler here today and supposed to get cooler as the week progresses. I love those butterfly lights...I want some. But, I've never seen them around here. Linda in WA

Hi Ally,
Sandra here! I`m using Kerry`s PC as mine has crashed with a virus. It doesn`t look good either. For the time being I`m using Kerry`s PC, hence the different screenname. I do wish it would cool down somewhat, I`m melting here and I`m afraid I might just fade away...lol! :o)
Sandra xxxxx
Hi Ally, lovely to see Nin and Barney trying so hard to get comfy,its a dogs world!!
I love the solar lights Lyn gave you for your b/day ,could you ask her where she bought them ,I would like some in our garden.Have fun with little Leo and Rob and Anna.I like this weather but not quite as hot as this ,we shall all start to melt like the tar on the road!!! love the snow scene it cooled me down......Love Jeanxx
Thanks for sharing the pics. They're lovely. Love your solar butterflies. Hahaha! Nin and Barney are sure living the dog days of summer. Hugs.
VERY PRETTY PICTURE. I HATE WHEN IT GETS SO HORRIBLE COLD..BUT I DONT LIKE THE HEAT THAT MUCH EITHER...I LIKE THE FALL AND THE SPRING WHEN IT IS JUST WARM ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BA HAPPY AND A NICE BREEZE THAT WORKS WONDERS INDOORS WHEN YOU LEAVE THE WINDOWS OPEN..
I'm back Ally.Wow! what a wonderful set of cushions Barney and Nin have scattered around them,they look so pretty.Bet them two dogs are treat like royalty lol!! They both look a lot like I have felt this last week !! I like thistles,and all wild plants,the othe plant looks very much like the wild plant Achilleas,though |I only grew yellow ones,so a little unsure.Maybe you have a rare type.who knows? Lets say with your selection of flowers,in the garden it's possible haa!! I bet it is so nice and a change for you, to have some company around.Children at that age are so cute and cuddly,funny too.The winter scene is beautiful,I love all the 4 seasons.More so the cooler weather,for my skin.Thankyou so much for the get well message.A lovely entry.I so enjoyed it!! OH!! and the sola lights remind me of my sister,I named her the Elusive Butterfly,as she is always tripping off somewhere,and never in when i ring her.but at 71yrs old ,why not if she is able.I will have to search around for some of those.They would make a brilliant namesake present for her.Thankyou for the idea LOL!!
Take Care.Astoriasand.
Unfortunatley the heat is all I know! But my dog Luke disent seem to mind too much.

Barney and Nin aren't spoilt by any chance are they? lol I also love your solar lights, I think Lyn could have earned commission on them! Enjoy your visitors Linda xx http://journals.aol.co.uk/lindachapmanuk/metamorphing/
Barney and Nin, you have to hand it to them, puts us all to shame working like that! Our Sally thinks the coolest way is on her back with her legs in the air. Would that we could all be so carefree!!! - lol
I had heard that you were having a heat wave there and they wonted to band men from going shirtless

Hello Ally,
Pat here ( Steve's Mum ).

Barney and Nin are too cute!!
A snowman! I love it!

Linda :)
Ally,
Thanks for the snowy reminder, after such hot and humid days....staying cool is a challenge. Love the photo's of Barney and Nin. Thistle is a beautiful 'weed', and they do grow very fast. The other plant is Queen Anne's Lace, ants love them.

Barney and Nin are certainly bachelor's of leisure! It will be in the mid 90'sF here today and high humidity. I am ready to try working in the heat again as I took all last week off due to my back pain. My low lumbar is better and I hope it does not get sharp pain again. I spoke to my mother and she will be going to Northern Illinois this week and perhaps my nephew and some family members will be coming down to see me. I will find out when she gets up there which is over 300 miles from me or about a 7 hour drive. mark
Hi Ally.
Its been a while since I've heard from you. Barney and Nin sure do know how to relax.
