Outside My Window ~ 8.9.09

 

Outside My Window…is a beautiful, sunny morning in Catawba, South Carolina.  There is a slight breeze, temps around 74F at 9:30 with about 68% humidity.  This morning, I’m writing on my parents back porch….there are birds visiting the bird feeders and hummingbirds flying here and there. 

I am thinking…about how nice and relaxing this visit has been.  I have thoroughly enjoyed these past few days……..peaceful, quiet….beautiful home and scenery…….and of course excellent company.  I’m already mentally planning my next trip to see them.   🙂

I am thankful for…Papa and Nina living so much closer to us now…..and for what appears to be good traveling weather for our trip home today.

From the kitchen….not sure what will be from the kitchen this morning.  I may make a few sandwiches to take with us so we can stop and have a picnic at a rest stop on the way home. 

I am creating…nothing at the moment ~ but I have plenty of photos to play around with when I get home! 

I am going…to be heading home today.  Alanna has told me she wants to do all the driving………so I will be taking random photos as I ride back home.

I am reading…road signs today.   🙂

I am hoping…this amazing weather holds out for our trip home…….and that all goes well on the trip.

I am hearing…tree frogs, crickets…bird songs…….cars driving down the road nearby……and the breeze blowing through the trees.

Around the house…are our bags ready to load in the Jeep.

Plans for the week include…back to work.  🙁    The rest of the week……..no plans at the moment

One of my favorite things…is visiting and reminiscing with my family.  Getting caught up on what everyone has been up to; sharing memories….laughing over good times…..it is what life is all about.

A picture I would like to share with you……two of them today…..one of the hummingbirds who visit the feeder throughout the day……

And another of the many beautiful views in this area……the Catawba River….
