Punkins' world....SUNSHINE, seeds and no more drought!

I was constantly asking my son "Don't you want to take piano lessons instead".

I know that feeling oh so well. Funny thing - he finally added piano lessons to things he did but unfortunately none of the rough stuff stopped. It does make you proud though to watch them do the rough stuff well. Well, proud is a secondary feeling after your heart stops racing and settles down.
The pics are great and your DS looks like he is very good.

Those bee capture pics are so cool. I want bees so bad but DH is highly allergic so has been a little apprenhensive on the subject. Apprensensive as in - NO, No way, forget it.

I grew up riding horses. High speed events, like barrel racing, jumping and reining probably made my grandma feel the same way! Far safer than getting your thrills like that than by taking drugs.

Yea, this is the way he and his buddies say they get high.

The worst part for me is while he is on the start gate. My hands are shaking so badly and I feel like I could throw up. Once the race has started, I seem to calm down and enjoy watching him.

I can understand your DH's apprehension to bees. This swarm was very quite and calm. He hopes to have about 150 hives by next year. We told him he was more than welcome to put some on our property - as in we would like to have bees.

That looks like a blast! I'd be nervous too.
Here it is hovercraft racing. And so far it is only DH's students that I watch. DS can't race until he is 12. But I'm the one who gets all worked up when one of the kids breaks down and is in danger of floating away down the river! :/

Great pics...my son would love to have a bike of some sort....just not in the cards yet. I bet you are nervous....I think that type of sport is hard on us mom types!

Went to Goodwill yesterday, and I scored great on this material.

There is over 10 yards. It's clean, no odors or stains. And, I got it for $8.00. The one in the middle is my favorite. It's a scene of Amish life.

I've almost got all my stuff together to start making soap. I'm going to try the hand milled and heat & pour methods. For the hand milled, I'm going to use ivory soap and add my own scents and botanicals. The goat's milk soap just came in yesterday. I had already bought a plastic mold from Goodwill a few days ago, plus I found a hand held grater that I'll use for soap only.

I have a lap quilt ready for the binding, and then it will be finished.

The weather is nice here, for the end of August. It still gets up to 90, but low humidity and cooler nights.

The only thing coming out of the garden now is okra, a couple of melons and some scrawny tomatoes.

Our local fair started yesterday. I don't know if we'll go or not, maybe on free admittance day. Besides, it's only about a 4 minute drive. :/

Nothing else going on, really. It seems as if it's the time of year to change gears and slow down for a while.

Slowing down sounds wonderful.

I hate to say it but I can't wait till my kids go back to school. Not because I want to get rid of them but I just need more structure to my days! Everyone is staying up late, sleeping in late and jacking up my day!

Sorry to vent all over your porch but you mentioned slowing down.....

Some cool weather Football Sunday's make me want to lounge on the sofa and crochet something

So what are you gonna do with all that fabric??

I really have no idea , but I'm sure I will think of something. It was just too good of a deal to pass up.

Great score on the material!

Terrific deal on the fabric, punkin! The Goodwill by me never has anything that nice for that nice of a price!
