July 2, 2011 Happy 4th of July

Hello Everyone, How are you this Holiday Weekend!! It is hot again here in Memphis TN and everyone is grillin' and chillin'. Of cxourse Memphis is known for barbeque so this is a favorite holiday around here. I am mostly a vegetarian and salad person, but I have been known to partake!!
     My latest adventure in earrings was yesterday when I made some pretty Star of David earrings with swarovski crystal accents. I also made some pretty yellow beaded loop earrings that remind me of summer. The photo shows them with the cucumber blossom in my garden.
The hot weather is a friend to the cucumber famiy but not the tomato. I have very few tomatoes and the plants are just not as lush as they have been in past years. I water every evening .
      For some reason our cat ,Calsey, loves the water. She sits by the hose each day waiting for me to turn it on. Then she wades in the water and sits in the middle of the large puddle on a brick dangling her tail in the water!! She will just look at me as if to say, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a cat in the water ????"
So, enouph of my ramblings, I hope you have a great holiday !!! Check out the etsy store, Love misty714

June 30 , 2011 ~The End of the Month!

Hello Everyone, I like the end of the month. It feels like I have accomplished something if only to survive one more month!! It is soon to be July and that means more heat in Memphis, but also means  the Fourth of July is this weekend!! The Fourth is actually on Monday and so we will be celebrating it this weekend. Here in Memphis TN. The celebration consists of Barbeque Pork and fireworks!! I do not eat alot of meat, but Pork Barbeque is pretty hard to turn down. Now I also do not go in for alot of fireworks either, but my neighbors do not share my disdain for noise and smoke so they will be popping them off all weekend. By Saturday night the fire crackers will escalate into gun fire as every adult male in the vicinity will be be shooting their hand gun into the air just becausse they can get away with it!!!. Now this scares my dogs , Misty and Little Joe, and they become very nervous, almost trembling and shaking with fear and anticipation of something "terrible ", causing me to have to stay by their side and reassure them that everything is alright, even resorting to drugging them down with Benedryl!!
So anyway, that is what I am looking forward to tomorrow and the next day and the day after that!!! !!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!
