miscellaneous

this week included paying attention to the results of moments monday. digging through a box of memorabilia, i found it contained several pieces of the grandchildren's art work, drawings and paintings and pictures with lots of stickers. this art work became the covers for several notebooks of different sizes. in addition to their art work, i used ribbon and washi and decorative duct tape to enhance the notebooks. it was satisfying to find a practical purpose for the art. some of the notebooks i will keep to use for memory books and notable notebooks. no doubt megan and jacob would like to have at least one and maybe other family members as well.  it won't be long until the grandchildren are here for their yearly summer visit. i'm getting ready! and they can see the notebooks then.

the blooms are fading on the sunflowers across the road. it's been lovely enjoying them for more than a month.  i got up close to take photographs.  it was encouraging to hear the hum of so many bees! they were busy, busy.  which is good for the flowers and good for the bees since bees are endangered.

summer weather continues to be mild. how lovely to have the windows open and enjoy porch sitting during the "dog days" of summer.  august has arrived.  soon school will begin and it won't be long until fall, then cold weather, arrives.  enjoy summer while it's here to enjoy!
