Today I get a taste of Autumn Weather that will come our way in the Fall. It's deep breathing time. Coffee cup balanced on the arm of my chair with some alone time as Lil Miss is at Vacation Bible School. The skies are grey. Gentle breeze rustling the leaves in the trees. Birds are singing in their native languages.
After I dropped Lil Miss off, the Church bells chimed 9 times as I walked to the car. It is a comforting sound. Temps will be in the low 70s. Window is open and there's no humidity. Home air conditioners are off which will save on electricity expenses.
Stopped off at the Post Office in Small Town America to pick up mail. A birthday package from Alaska. Grins. Warms my heart. Don't you love birthday packages in the mail?
Waking early this morning, I paid the telephone bill by phone. Like being able to pay some of the bills via phone. Load of undies in the washing machine. Did a load of dishes already and will paint the Parlour room front door trim this morning. Yesterday I added another coat of Dutch Boy Cabinet and Trim Paint to the front door. It went on so easy and only took me about 30 minutes. Tom Sawyer would have been very proud of me. I was.
When Lil Miss returns to school in August, I hope to paint Parlour trim a little here and there each day until it is completed. That means scooting the furniture to one side of the room, covering it up, prep the painting area, paint, wait a day, paint a second coat, allow time to dry, clean up area and scoot furniture back into place. Superwoman here. No rush on this. I'd like it to be leisurely work where I see progress by Christmas, but first comes the Guest room. That will take a chunk of time as the entire room is wood beaded board that will need primed and painted several coats of paint. Oh my....when that is done, I will take pictures and brag. Long time in the coming. White Priscilla Curtains will be hung and a light placed in the window that comes on each evening.
This year, I am in such hopes that the refreshing of the inside of our Haven will be nearly completed. So much completed.
The Birds are chirping in the cool of the day. It is peaceful here right at this moment. No television or radio is on. No one else around. Thinking about the things I'd like to accomplish today as I prepare for company to visit next week.
Blessings to you,

I just love how you said the birds are singing in their native languages!! And Priscilla curtains? Hmm. My favorites. I know painting is a slow process. Have some cans ready for my bedroom, but too hot to paint.♥♫
What a lovely morning. Thanks for sharing it:).
Blessings,

I woke up to autumnal temperatures this morning. It felt so nice when I was taking my walk. I'm sure we'll have some more hot days along the way, but the reprieve is such a blessing.
Some of the trees are already losing leaves. Delilah bumped a little tree this morning and it rained yellow leaves down on her. Suppose fall will come early this year.
Mild weather for a month or more would be nice.

It is beautiful here today too! After several days of clouds and humidity, I was able to sit outside this morning while I did my devotions and watch God's creation.
