Scattered, Covered, Smothered...a week in a messy splash!

A zippy post before I go into full panic mode of throwing clothes in a bag since I fly out for Biloxi this afternoon and still haven't packed.  And I need to run to the grocery store for dog food and cat food.  So who knows what I will be wearing in New Orleans.  I messed up by buying great new shoes but I don't have outfits yet that I think are cute enough for the shoes.  So I have things hanging together but not quite packed :)

I think in July I will try to be a better blog poster.

The pics above is a selective lens shot of my petunia spillage.  Our close friend Daryl with her son Conrad and friends at Poverty Level's performance last Thursday night to kick off the Beach Music Festival.  And a new lily variety for us from bulbs planted last fall.  I don't use very much pink in the backyard but I thought these were so pretty and girlie.

Life is busy.  Summer is here and while the nights are easy and Southern the days are busy.  I'm ready for a few days off from vacuuming pet hair and mopping Lab feet.  The cats have actually been staying out enjoying the heat but Earl and Eudora's black fur keeps them in with us most of the time.  On the days it has gotten to ninety I can barely get them out to even pee.  They just hate the heat.

Izzy and Caleb have been spending time here with school out and basketball camp close to my house.  They've both spent the night, fished for big bass...Izzy has surpassed the boys in Toonces points because she helps cook!  And together we put out big meals.  The way to a man's heart is through is stomach must be true!   When we get home Jackson and Ben will hopefully get some time here too.  I wonder if they will help me cook too?

All of the outdoor room furniture has arrived finally!

Ooops, time is up.  Have a great week/weekend.
