Loving this hot August weather!

      It's not near as hot as last summer; it's somewhat cloudy, with a nice breeze blowing! There's a chance of an isolated rain shower later in the day and that always cools things off a bit. Sorry if ya'll haven't gotten much rain this summer! Believe me, I know what that's like! The downside of all this rain is the vegetation! Good for crops, bad for weeds! We've got mostly weeds and bugs! They cling to you if you perspire too! Like that visual? I'm enjoying the summer anyway!

      We went camping this past weekend to Wind Creek. It's the largest campground in the U.S., right here in Sweet Home Alabama! It's about a two hour drive, south of here. The campground was very nice, with water surrounding almost every side. We didn't get a spot right on the water, but just a short walk from the camper got us right to the water. One day, Randy fished from the bank while I sat on the porch of a vacant cabin and crocheted! Sounds like a couple of "old timers" but we both enjoyed it. We visited an area that had Hank Williams cabin. We couldn't go in; only peer through the windows. It was very quaint. We also went to the restaurant that was named Kawliga after one of his songs. The area is surrounded by Lake Martin, almost everywhere you drive! I have to say, it is a beautiful place! Skylar didn't accompany us on this trip, so it was just the two of us. We really enjoyed some time to ourselves!

      My hens are only laying 3-4 eggs daily, but I'm letting them pile up. I don't know why, but I just haven't been eating or using that many eggs in my cooking lately! I need to make a fritatta or something, but I don't think the guys really like them. I'll feed some of the eggs to the girls when they come over, I guess!

      We'll be celebrating Layla's third birthday here one week from Saturday! Hard to believe she'll be three! She's such a little tyke! I'm planning on making some decorations for her birthday so I'll post them when I finish them. The 'C' is coming along nicely. I need to put at least a couple more coats of paper on before I do the finishing touches. I hope to show that soon as well! Hope ya'll are staying cool and dry! Have a nice weekend! Blessings from Bama!

The shirt I made Yasmine! I had to touch it up a little, but I didn't know what to do about that little circle.

Us at Pompano Joe's at the beach. How'd that get in here?

The shirt I made for Layla. I didn't have to touch this one up. Yay!

The first shirt I made was for Winterlynn. It's a mess!

A voluntary sunflower in the backyard!

A sunflower wreath I made from dollar store flowers.

My neck is broken out on both sides, as well as some on my back! These are from the biting nats! They itch and hurt but are a lot better now!
