Monday July 7 doings

Hello again everyone 

I made a to do list for this week last night 

I want to do more sewing and I got started on that mid morning.  

I watched/listened to a few CVS mega coupon shoppers.  They really buy lots and do it way more complicated than I do.  

I had a couple of appointments this afternoon so I stopped at just CVS.  

My total before digital coupons and last weeks Extra Care Bucks was about $40

I paid $10.39 and have $12 Extra Care Bucks for next week.  

I don’t wear lots of makeup and I don’t wear makeup everyday but I had used up my only eyeshadow and my mascara seemed empty 

so I am very happy to have new ones,  

I’ve had a few questions about the Kiss press on nails I wear.  

They recently improved their glue and it really holds!  

I don’t buy my nails at CVS but I looked at theirs.  

They had lots. 

The new nails seem to have this improved logo I circled below.  

And if I was buying nails,  I would look for it.  

Supper wasn’t pretty but it was easy and delicious.

I stir fried an onion, 2 bell peppers and a little cabbage.  

then I added about 1 1/2 cups leftover cooked rice,  soy sauce and 1 thinly sliced leftover steak for July 4th,  

My husband has a collection of gnomes in front of our house.  

They were looking very faded from sun and weather.  

I asked him to repaint them and he did.  

For the last year or so,  sitting in a straight back chair was out the question for him.  

So we are both thankful he can do normal activities for now.  

The gnome on the left is before he repainted it.  

Don’t they look happier now in their fresh paint?  

Hope you all have had a good Monday

July 5th

Nobody can see this flower bed in our backyard.  On one side is the 6 foot fence and on the other side is our giant concrete tornado shelter.

I think we grew green beans in it a few years ago.  

This year I planted zinnia seeds,  and for good measure,  I added some Oklahoma Wildflower seeds I picked up free from our local library,  maybe 2 years ago.  

The zinnias grew and the wildflower seeds really showed out!  

I’m not sure these are actually wildflowers though,  I’ve lived in Oklahoma since 1991 and none of these are things I see growing wild.  

But whatever they,  they are pretty!

there are wild sunflowers growing along roads and in rural areas but they are much smaller. 

Google lens says this blue is Borage 


Zinnias in a different bed.  

our neighbors can’t see them but the bees and butterflies can.  

And would you believe there is a Robin sitting on the nest again?  

They usually take a few weeks to lay and hatch their eggs.  

they are little messy but we enjoy watching them.  

Hope you all are having a good weekend 

❤️ Rhonda
