Today was a beautiful day...hot but beautiful...Bill worked in the yard all day cutting grass...weed eating...trimming bushes... 
Loved sitting on the porch with him when he took breaks! The phone was actually quiet today and no company...I know I couldn't believe it either! I love days like this..just the two of us talking and laughing...getting older together....love him more today than I ever did when we first married..and I thought that was impossible... 
Even BB noticed what a special day it was just to relax and enjoy the moment....you can always find her somewhere close to Bill...even when he stopped to take a break and sit on the porch she would follow him to his rocker and jump up in his lap...she has always been attached to him ever since he found her in the field...half starved and only about 5 weeks old 10 yrs ago.... 
Yep nothing exciting to report today...just plain ol feel good to be alive and so thankful for this life and a good porch swing...take care you guys and take time out to really sit down and enjoy the moment...I promise you the world won't come to an end...the kids won't starve to death...and the dishes ain't going nowhere....and lordy knows the local newspaper will not care if you don't make your bed the minute your foot hits the floor...live this life while you can....love you guys...Picket 
30 lil sweet taters came by...:

Dot,A quite uneventful day spent with the love of our life......Does it mean we are getting older? (giggle) Sure does, but aren't we blessed! Would love sitting in the swing and looking out at your beautiful gardens also.So peaceful and serene. Hope you have a great week.

Your husband takes such great care of the yard. It looks like paradise!
These are the kinds of days that feed a weary soul. I'm glad that you had just such a day. You'll be ready for the next batch of closets or the next batch of kids and grands now.
What a lovely post Dot -- a perfect day in my book :)
Blessings!

Hi Dot! I love days like this too. Life is very fleeting, so we have to find a way to enjoy all we can while we still have some time left.
May you have many sweet days like this.
Have a great week!

Dot, your yard is just gorgeous. All the beautiful freshly mowed grass and trimmed bushes. Such a beautiful sight to see. I can't wait for it to be even remotely cool enough to sit outside and enjoy such beauty. Sounds like the most perfect kind of day ever. Hugs, Marty

Yes, indeed! I couldn't agree more. Those good ole days of tomorrow are the memories we are making today. A life well lived. Have a good week my friend, see you on the farm.
Glad you had a great day and your yard DOES look beautiful - just as I remember pictures from the past. You two have "loveliness" wherever you go! Enjoy life - as you always do!

Whew...you need to send some motivation my way! I need to clean out closets too! Love the pictures of your gardens. Beautiful! Sounds like a fun day.
Hi Sweet Pea!
Glad you guys are doing well! Your yard looks beautiful. I have closets to clean too, but I am waiting until fall. Too hot now. I admire you for doing it in the summer. Yes, it is wonderful growing old with our sweeties. I will be married 32 yrs on Thursday
Aug 4th.
Hugs,

I think your yard is exciting!
I noticed your yard and landscaping are gorgeous. It is peaceful and serene. I like to appreciate you for new idea.
Life is good, and I am glad you are enjoying every moment.
Your lawn and garden look beautiful - so green and lush. It is so ... hot. We are just trying to keep everything alive.
Oh Dot, sounds like a great day! Sometimes I read your posts and wish I could just visit with you. Love your house and your yard, beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Your yard looks like a beautiful painting. Does it take tons of work?
Move over, Dot...I'm squeezing onto the swing beside you. Your yard is beautiful! I have serious yard envy looking at these pictures. My yard needs a complete overhaul! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful week. I love weeks like that when you feel like you've gotten so much done...just good ole nesting stuff. It's my favorite thing!
Happy Summer!
Susan
You are ALWAYS so uplifting! I love your attitude! I, too, love my hubby (43 years now) more than ever! Isn't it wonderful getting to grow old together, and have these wonderful "just the 2 of us" days!!! WE have "date day" every once in a while and take a drive, go sometwhere for lunch, do some browsing and/or buying and come home. Most nights when it isn't SO DARN HOT we sit on our deck together and talk. It is a blessed life. XOXO, Pinky Wish so much you had a place to sign up to get an e-mail notice when you post!!!!!
Your garden is gorgeous, Picket!...Christine
