Refreshing the Home and Porch

 

Whoowhee. It is hot and humid today and will be even more so tomorrow thru Sunday. We signed up with Grace Village to go to the Elkhart County Fair next Tuesday. Hope we don’t regret that decision. They say the exhibit halls are mostly air-conditioned.

Many of my throw rugs have decided to fall apart at once; the backing peeling off and one even has the side of the rug frayed into fiber strands. I bought a replacement for the entry rug at Kohl’s over a week ago, but didn’t like most of the choices. Today I bought a rug at Walmart for the kitchen and put the kitchen rug at the patio entry.

Remember my tale of the wind storm and the damage done. I pulled out the few delphiniums struggling along and planted a new plant. This yarrow really needs more sun probably, but it will get the late afternoon and early evening slants of sun under the porch.

I bought the little bird at Kmart. It will replace the duck that lost its head.

Always something to do to keep a home looking nice. I have refreshed a few things. Time to rest in the air conditioning and out of the sun though.

The potential blog “hackers” aren’t resting. 111 “views” from Mauritius yesterday and 21 from Russia today. The statistics algorithm for individual post views adjusts for known “hack views”, but it doesn’t catch everything so there is some skewing.

We had left-over grilled chicken with spinach, strawberries, mandarin oranges, fresh pineapple, and red onion with poppy seed dressing for lunch. Tonight we take advantage of the Ruby Tuesday BOGO promotion. Haven’t decided yet what I will order.

The lazy days of summer have arrived.
