Ora's Odd Oddessey - part 2

thunder and lightening....sure stirred up the trees and bushes....flapping all over the place...I just knew our pool was gone...but it stayed in place thank goodness....flowers did ok also...as did our veggie garden....beat the plants down a bit...but the sunshine today brought them back upright...and perky lookin!!!  the wind was the worst I do believe...we spent the early morning picking up small twigs and branches that came down...and moving deck chairs and tables back into place....and some house plants I have outside here and there had to be up righted and nursed a bit....just told them it was ok...and sorry things got so rough...gotta talk to our plants...let them know we love'm LOL...my mother always talked to her plants when she worked in the flower beds or in garden area....and her hens....how she chattered with them....and they talked back too...LOL...she said "they understand what you are saying"....and I said one day...well how come they don't listen to me???  they peck my feet???  she just smiled like she knew a secret and wasn't gonna tell me LOLOL.  Funny how little memories like that keep cropping up in your mind huh???

Otherwise it was a beautiful day here...not quite so very hot...a nice cool breeze also...but I didn't get out much....had laundry to do...seems it never gets fully done....but today it did...but I am weary tonight...but nice to know that tomorrow I can relax...maybe get to Walmart????? LOL

Tomorrow is grandson Cameron's 9th birthday...we had his party last Saturday...a bowling party...it was fun....but he knows my present will be here for him tomorrow....he has baseball camp in the morning...so that will give me time to set it all up for when he gets home LOL...love to surprise the little feller...!!!!

just stopping in to say hello to everyone...and passing along a big hug to all......Ora

ps...just a few pics of the party boy!!!

  I lost my big garden because of staying at the hospital with Pat. 100 degree days and no water is fatal for plants.
