It is definitely summer on the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas…HOT & HUMID!!! While this weather can be trying and tiring, it does have a redeeming quality. It keeps me indoors, working in my studio. That, folks, is a very good thing. With deadlines looming in the not too distant future, I really need to concentrate on finishing entries. I will confess to one of my personality traits: randomness. If I look up and see something outside, I’m apt to stray there. Knowing that H & H will greet me as soon as I open the door, I stay put in my studio…unless a mystery book I happen to be reading catches my eye…lolÂ
Some of my flowers seem to appreciate the H & H much more than I do. Lantana and “Hot Lips” Salvia are going crazy in the backyard. And the Rudbeckia and Conflowers are doing nicely. Love those pink Coneflowers! The new Purple Porter Weed, for butterflies and hummingbirds, is sending up flower spikes also.
Time to get with the program. Hoping to avoid that H & H as much as possible. Tomorrow, my fiber art/surface design group meets. It will be good to be with friends for a few hours. We’ll be planning the remainder of the year. Even though this will require being out in the summer elements, I’ll just think cool…lol
’til next time…..


I think I could stand maybe one day of H & H so I will stop complaining about my C & R (cold and rain)>
