Howdy ho kids!
I managed to pull myself away from my new obsession:
Pinterest. I don't normally web-surf or have many real addictions but this oh...well, a useful (ahem) but potential time-waster if you ask me - I love it. For those not familiar, it's a virtual pin board. Pin things you like (no more bookmarking!), follow others, comment, "like" stuff, etc. Warning: addicting.
And thank you to those who have "liked" me on
facebook. Yes,
HiHoRosie can now be found on facebook - yeehaw! I feel silly about it actually because well, it's not like I'm real big in the blogging world but still thought it'd be fun to have. I mean, I don't share my
personal profile publicly (I'll friend you, I just don't advertise it or share my full name anywhere) so a blog-related profile was born. I still need to update my profile but will do that soon. Thought I'd only get 10 likes but now I have almost 30! Wee!
Like me if you'd like. Hint: could benefit you in the future.
Anyway, reading this post's title I know summer isn't over but it does seem to be winding down here. Kinda sad really. It never really got going although, we've been enjoying some beautiful sunny and/or rain-free days, it's just been on the mild side (mostly 70's). With some of you dealing with extreme high temps, I think our mild temps here are appreciated. Summer is still going strong for kids/students, too, since most don't start till after Labor Day.
I do have to wonder if a couple trees near my home missed the memo that summer lasts for another month...here are some fallen leaves I found:
Huh??? Pretty but way, way too soon.
So let's not think about fall just yet. There's still summer to enjoy, right? Right.
Today, I bring you some summer pics I took.
I warn you: I was having a
wee bit too much fun with effects and whatnot. All or most pics were taken with my cell phone (my real camera's focus is out of focus - so let's throw it out there: I need a new camera! My birthday's coming up in 55 days...not that I'm counting down or anything). So, please bare with me as I share. I hope I don't annoy too much with my fun-ness. :)
Another warning: there are a lot of pics...and sunflowers...and YS2...I could take pics all day long...

okay, I admit to having too much fun with playdoh |
|
we didn't go to the outdoor theater this time but we will when I know ys2 will sit and enjoy |
That's it in a nutshell. Of course, there are
always more pics, in fact, I sense a garden post with pictures coming up soon. But next though, a giveaway. Stay tuned for that!
Hope you've been having a splendid summer, too!
