Welcome to T Stands for Tuesday and our new month of August.
I am so happy to see August has arrived as next month brings us closer to Fall-I am soooo ready. This has been such a hot summer for us.
Good news though, last week was much cooler with lots of rain, but no flooding here at the lake as in other parts of Missouri.
To cut down on my blogging time I am considering linking up to T once or twice a month going forward-will see if I like that or not.
I am enjoying Rains Thursday Art and Dinner date since she took over my Food Wednesdays-lots of lovely art and good eats there on Thursdays. I posted early today again as Tuesday I will be at the polls voting, if I post early gives everyone the chance to visit early so not so many links to visit in just one day.
We did get our new lift put in. So happy with the company we chose, very professional and courteous staff. Haven't gotten help to get the boat on it yet. I am not a strong driver especially a big vehicle with a boat trailer on it so we are still waiting for help with that. What Larry liked about this lift no metal moving parts sitting in the water. Also the boat will sit up out of the water on this lift. This lift is designed to move with the waves. from HydroHoist

Fast boats too close to the docks on Saturday
For my drink share I had a mug of hot decaf black tea and also a peek into a watercolor I painted with stamps, early Sunday-if interested will post the finished piece on Thursday

I also bought some new coffee for us. This company uses the profits to help veterans and also RSBN network (which is privately owned with no corporate investors) It is one of the few networks I have found that shows the truth live-I watch them on Rumble This one is a bag of decaf for me and I bought two of their dark roasts (lots of caffeine) for Larry
Happy T and new week and new month
I always love the lake views, esp. those sunrise shots! I wish you a beautiful week ahead, Kathy.
ReplyDeletethank you so much-the sunrises out our wall of windows is what sold me on the house. You have a wonderful week too hugs
DeleteKathy, surely you will show us pictures of your boat and the trips you will do with it
ReplyDeleteHi Yes once we get it on the lift I will-it's Larry War eagle fishing boat
DeleteCute mailing from Iris!
ReplyDeleteIt was had me smiling
DeleteHi Kathy! I am with you about waiting for autumn, it can't come soon enough for me.You bought some good coffee, I like dark roast, too. Hope the new boat lift helps you. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGood morning Valerie, it put a smile on my face to see your post today hoping the rest helped and you are feeling better-hugs and Happy T Kathy
DeleteOh, the woodpecker is pretty, dear Kathy, especially with that background. It must be very nice to live with a view of this lake. The pre sunrise photos are a dream. I'm curious about your watercolor!
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria and have a good week!

PS: I'm glad you know what to do in case of a blackout. I think I would know too.
PPS: I am now your new follower :-)
Good morning we love seeing these woodpeckers we seem to have two pairs that visit and they both had 2 youngsters this summer. Hugs
DeleteA lovely woodpecker. There is a lot of water traffic.
ReplyDeleteyes too much in the summer weekends-and they don't follow boating rules or safety another person crashed from being too fast
DeleteSomehow I am a day off. I thought tomorrow was T Tuesday. I thought you and Valerie were just posting a day early. I had to go in and change my T Tuesday post a few minutes ago, or I would have been a day late showing up to my very own blog party!
ReplyDeleteNice to see the lake and the various boats there, including the pirate ship.
I think Larry will like these new blends of caffeinated coffee. I'm sure I would. Thanks so much for posting early and sharing such a lovely post with us for T this week. Any company that helps veterans has my complete approval!!
I also wanted to let you know I got a lovely postcard from you a few minutes ago. Thank you so much. I will show it for T Tuesday next week, so I hope you will drop by and join us.
I am sooooo glad to read you received the postcard, I sent out several last tuesday and haven't heard anyone yet tell me that got it-so I am happy to know it went through the mail ok.
DeleteThe lake views were pretty last week, but today we are super hot and humid again you probably are too-hugs.
I love to support our veterans too--so was happy they had a couple dark roasts.
This summer do to the extreme heat I have really lost track of the days. so glad we had last week as a break-that would be awful if you missed your own party-hugs
Oh tomorrow is T day today is monday-I usually post early
DeleteLike Rain, I post on Monday afternoon, because it is already Tuesday in much of the rest of the world. Somehow I thought Second on the 2nd came before T Tuesday this month. DUH!!
DeleteI was waiting for august to get here, then it just popped in on monday
DeleteSuch a fabulous post, I loved seeing all the lake views 😊. It must be fun seeing all the different boats and the pre-sunrise colours and views are gorgeous! So lovely to sit and enjoy lake life, you're so lucky. Your Henry happy mail made me smile, that's so kind of Iris, I always love her drawings! Happy T Day wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, so glad you enjoyed the lake views-always lots of activity during the weekends. Henry was such a nice surprise to see in my mailbox hugs
DeleteLoving those pictures of the lake. I too am looking forward to fall weather. Our temps have been very hot as well.
ReplyDeleteBlogging can be a time sucker. I used to post more often but I find it so difficult nowadays. And I would much rather spend my time painting or with family than blogging. Hope you are able to find a good balance.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
blogging with allot of link ups to visit does take up allot of time-I do enjoy visiting, and that's why I link up early so I can visit over a couple of days. we do need to find a good balance hugs Happy T
DeleteYour lake views are truly beautiful, it must be nice to see that every day. The woodpecker is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteour wall of windows looking over the lake is also facing the sunrises-so it is different every day-love that. we are really enjoying the woodpeckers allot-placing the bird seed close on the deck allows to really enjoy them up close
DeleteYou must enjoy the lake Kathy. Those morning views are gorgeous. We've been hot for a few weeks, but so dry. I wish you could send some rain our way, but I am glad to hear you haven't had any flooding. The photos from Kentucky are horrible. Have you seen them? That was so kind of Iris to send you that card. It made me happy to see that cute Henry. I hope you have a great start to the month and have a happy T day too. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHi Erika Yes we do enjoy the lake views very much, are our view in the mornings is the sunrises-very special. Yes I saw the floods in Kentucky also St Louis Mo was hit with heavy flooding too.
Deletethat was so fun to find Henry in my mailbox-really made me happy
Happy T and new week
Beautiful photos! Love the woodpecker photo, too. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon thank you so much
DeleteI love those predawn pictures looking out over the lake! I am so glad to read that the boat lift project is going well. Rain and cooler temps finally made their way down over us; how sweet it was!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Mary, so happy you finally got some rain and a cool down. we were back to hot and humid again monday
DeleteYes to voting, no to hot weather goimg away ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am allowed to drive a truck. 7 tonnes. Will never do that! LOL, crazy Germany!
Ahh. Kathy, your lake. So beautiful.
Cute woodpecker. For a pirate ship to see I just need to go to the bedroom.
Great coffee!
Oh. Hi Henry - you made it to the lake, lucky you!!!!
Happy T!
wow you have a pirate ship in your bedroom? that sounds cool Yes Henry is very very happy here at the lake-hugs
DeleteYupp, Ship, flag and... ghosts, pirates (plural).... Blame it on Ingo ;-)
DeleteWe won´t grow up. Just a bit.
awesome-never grow up-hugs
DeleteGlad to hear your heat broke and you didn't get those awful flooding rains. The sunrise photos look amazing especially that ribbon of light. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy. Thanks for the prayers, I appreciate that. Your dock looks good. Glad you had a good company working on it. The photos are pretty amazing. Love the Woodpecker. Have a very nice day today.
ReplyDeleteyour welcome, and thanks so much we are really enjoying the early morning views especially, and feeding the seed on the deck the birds come up close-
DeleteYou have such beautiful lake views! and how delightful to see the red-headed woodpecker so close. Happy T Tuesday!
ReplyDeletethank you, every morning early is different too. since we are feeding seed on the deck-it's been wonderful enjoying the birds up close
DeleteI'm pleased to see the Pirate ship but of course it's totally in second place to the woodpecker! I love those views! Glad you got the boat lift in OK. Looking forward to seeing your watercolour painting. I sometimes get a bit bogged down with commenting - I know a lot of folk just write one line - maybe I should do that too! Oh and yes, we certainly did have a memorable tme in Paris! Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, you are a busy lady so I appreciate it when ever you stop by-never late here -hugs we are blessed with two pairs of these woodpeckers that visit every morning and now they each have 2 youngsters too
DeleteHard to decide if I like your lake pictures or Henry more - super hard to decide. Lucky you to have them both and a bit cooler weather too. Love the coffee package - so fun. I am totally ready for Fall too. Happy T-day, Kathy. Hugz
ReplyDeleteGood morning Henry in my mail box was extra special we are back hot and humid this week hugs
DeleteYour lake is beautiful. Glad you got the new lift in. And I just love photos that show people's paint boxes! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of the woodpecker. I have never seen a real one.
ReplyDeleteAnd how interesting to have a lift to get your boat in and out of the water. Looking forward to seeing your boat too.
It’s good to have an unsponsored station. I too would be inclined to believe what they say.
Great sunset/sunrise photos.
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
I am feeling the opposite lol. I think that's the difference when you get hot weather and can't wait for it to cool down, or for me I am still waiting for it to heat up so I am not looking forward to autumn and the weather getting even colder. Happy belated T Day Elle/EOTC xx
