Happy 32nd Anniversary to us!

 Happy 32nd Anniversary to my wonderful, amazing, kind, goofball of a husband! I don't need to write a bunch of mushy stuff online, you know how I feel. I love you

A beautiful sunset this evening...

 

Smoke from Canada

 Look how thick this smoke is here in Illinois coming down from Canada.

 

Steampunk handmade and trinket box

 There has been a good run on steampunk items in my booth, recently..(Yay me), so made these few items this past week. However, I need to get started on Halloween stuff soon, only a few potion bottles left now...it's hot, so guess I have no excuse, gotta get to work. Everyone have a great day!

 

 

Red hat lunch Bingo

 It was Bingo day with the Red Hat ladies at Village Garden. "Ruby" was helping me call the numbers. We had a good time and we all came home with great prizes! Thank you, Debi Champion for furnishing the prizes! Glad to see everyone!

 

A handsome fellow in our yard

 Well hello there!

I didn't see you there!

 

I'm ready for my close-up Mr. Spielberg!

 I'm being introspective...

Happy 4th of July!

 

For our 4th of July and America's 250th Birthday outing....

We went to the Effingham Farmers Market. We mainly went to get tomatoes, but...so much yummy stuff there.  I tried something new, it was a vegetarian dish originating in Egypt, it was called koshari and was delicious! They also had baklava, which I had to have. We were good though, no purchases of big packages of cinnamon rolls or Sourdough bread....Now I am sad, j/k..It was a nice day, but huge crowds at every turn. Some ladies were selling steaming hot authentic tamales, but the line was an hour long, so no tamales either. I did get a vase of sunflowers though. So we came home and I made sloppy joes from scratch and slaw. Hope you are all having a great holiday!

 

Happy 250th birthday, America!

 

Happy 4th of July...almost

 Happy 4th of July...Almost!

 

 It cooled down to 80 degrees, so we thought we'd build a fire! No, that is not my house, mine is slightly bigger..

 

Here comes July

 91 degrees fells like 106...yikes

 

New trail cam pictures

 A few trail cam photos from the last couple of weeks. I know they aren't very detailed, but that's the night photos for ya. There is a beautiful buck that has been here for a while. The deer have mostly moved to the other side of the yard eating the apples and it looks like there are baby raccoons...
