T Stands for Tuesday

  Tuesday's is when we share a drink related post with friends.  Just show a photo of your beverage and join us with Bleubeard and Elizabeth-our hostess. Find the link to join us for T in my right hand column.

   This past week we have been back to the 90's again-sigh, but we are dark in the mornings now, and dark early evening-so it Is September ha ha. 
     Also the hummingbirds are mostly off on their migration journey. The last numbers of them left on Sunday. We still have a few stopping by. I keep out two feeders til the end of the month-for those last few travelers. We have five more days of summer til the official day of autumn-and here in the Ozarks summer temps are definately sticking around til the weekend..

      I have not had the chance to make art or crafts since my last indigo dye day on silk scarves which has me wanting to take a day off to just play.
    Been painting the hallway though-the ceilings are finished and one section of the walls are almost done-just need to go back over it to make sure all is covered. The textures and using a brush-is hard to get it all covered the first coat.

   We spent another morning looking at lake houses and property that we found online. We drove in an area we have never been before. Very country with farms mixed in with woods, very curvy hilly road, that led down to the lake-interesting and pretty area. When we got to where we needed to be was a disappointment-a little too primitive and too far away from shopping or doctors-so not good for our age now. Also this section by the lake was all narrow gravel roads-didn't like that.
   The other one we checked out we loved the property, but after talking with a neighbor that side of the lake had no depth of water-so no good for us. So we are still on the adventure to find what will fit both of us: deep water for year round fishing, big enough space for us, and an area  for me to set up cooking outdoors with my dutch ovens. I also want a large room for my crafts and we need a room for two large chest freezers and a pantry.

   I have been wanting to bake up a lemon meringue pie and I also had a taste for a big pot of chili-even though it has been hot.  This morning I made both. I baked this pie indoors instead of my cast iron outdoors-too hot-humid-and high allergy count.

   Lemon meringue is one of our favorite pies. 

For my chili I used a pound of the ground bison, my own canned beans and tomatoes. It turned out delicious.

  
Late this afternoon my friend called me and said she needed to go to Joann fabrics and would I like to go along. Sure, I would love to        The Joann's we went to was the one towards the lake. Her daughter is getting married at her home (my friend with the log home) end of this month and she needed some flowers. Her daughter needed navy blue and gold and we found the perfect ones.
   Browsing around I found some cute little autumn cutters, and a whole rack of washi tapes. I had not seen these tapes sold in sets before-I loved the animals in this collection. The tapes were 40% off and we got another 20% off our total order so we both got awesome savings.  I remembered from last week when I was looking at these tapes that there was a challenge to show our tapes. I had purchased two before that are stripes and now these. I can see now how these can be addictive to collect-so many choices ha ha


      I had grabbed a bottle of mineral water to take with.

Hope your week is a good one Happy T everyone!

  Oh and just a note-I am back to monitoring comments again-sorry about that-what ever blogger is doing now has stopped my email notifications again for comments-and for some reason I am also getting hit with spammers on my blog posts again--so am back to monitoring for both reasons.
