Not Much Summer Left!

 Summer is waning.  Even though it's supposed to be in the 90's today, the mornings

are certainly cooler, and crisper temperatures are on the way.

My pots of flowers have been spectacular this year, and I want to capture their

beauty before the cold takes them out.






Most of my perennials have already stopped blooming, but the annuals are still going strong!

This is a beautiful Nebraska sunset - we have had quite a bit of smoke from the Northwest,

which caused very intensely red sunsets.





The boys are putting together a basketball hoop today!

We bought the same one several years ago at Costco in Arizona, but just didn't have the room to move

it up to Nebraska, so we passed it on to some friends.  Our neighbor here, had an old hoop

that they were wanting to get rid of so they gave it to us.  The boys have enjoyed that

over the past two years, but its days are basically over - it got well-used up!

So we bought the same hoop as before from Costco and they are having the joy

of putting this very sturdy, and substantial hoop together..........again!!





That's an update for today, 20 years after 9/11.

Lord, have mercy on our nation, and may we be united once again.
