Home On The Range

August days are getting hotter,  and much porch-sitting is called for.
No excuses, we here in the South, know how to handle, heat and humidity.
Lots of cold iced tea, and plenty of chore-pondering.
 
 
 
 


 
 
The Petunias were thriving well in the heat, I admired them so.
Apparently, I was not alone, this cheeky little bandit helped herself to them all, in the middle of the night.
*Sigh*
 
 
 
 




Home, home on the range,
Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

~ Dr. Brewster Higley~ 1873

The deer here have had a new fawn. Very cute and frisky. But hungry!!

We're having a very hot summer here in East Tennessee, too! Haven't seen deer around here for a few years. They do like to nibble on the pretty flowers.

Oh my I have been away too long! Is that not a new blog header I see or does my memory fail me? I love the photos in this post... but I always love your photos! :) I have a new blog that I hope you will come and visit?! It's still me (Beth P) just a new shiny outside coat :) Almost forgot to give you the new url... http://thepinkopossumstudio.blogspot.com
Hope the summer has been treating you well!?! Now I'm off to do some catch-up reading here on your blog...
Hugs for now,
Beth from up north...

So pretty Jo. It is too hot for the porch here. I drove with the weenies in my ATV Ranger to feed the fish and turtles at my three ponds. By the third one, I was too hot to watch them eat. Us three old gals can't take the heat anymore.

Love the expression "chore-pondering". Best done in a rocking chair in the air conditioning with a cold drink for sure!
