Well here we are at the very last Monday of the month of August. Let’s hope the upcoming month is kind to all of us.
With Dolly Parton’s passing this week, I felt like I needed to post a song of hers. I absolutely love the harmony she did with the “Trio” of Linda Rondstat and Emmylou Harris. So many great songs they covered, but I think this one has to be my all time favorite.

Yes, it is currently flirting with 100 and the “feels like temp” is 108. I know many others across the country are dealing with high temps. Please remember to stay hydrated and put water out for the birds and other critters.
I’m waiting until almost dark before making a mad dash out there to water some planters on the West side. It’s still in full sun out there. Thank goodness I got most of the watering done this morning and the hummingbird feeders refilled. They are still migrating so if you are feeding them, make sure to change their feed out often as it spoils quickly with these hot temps.
Have a good week everyone!
Morning Bloggers, I can’t believe there is only one week left in the month of August. This past week has flown by and it doesn’t seem like I have got much accomplished. Been looking at fall bulbs, fall perennials for planting and I’m not sure if I will get any orders in or if I will get the things accomplished that I had hoped for this year. All depends on how September rolls in and when we get that first frost.
For today’s Music Monday, I came across this video montage for the movie “The Great Gatsby”. It’s been ages since I have watched it, and even longer since I have read the book. I need to watch it again. The song makes one a bit nostalgic and one can’t help but think of the passing of time.

Okay for this week’s Music Monday video, bear with me. I saw in my YouTube feed a new song by James Blunt. Perfect I thought for Music Monday. If you close your eyes and listen to the song, it’s just a nice summery tune that puts you in a good mood. The video itself is sooooo out there. So, I will warn you in advance, it is very tongue in cheek, and some will find it hysterical, some will find it a bit morbid and strange, and some will …well, I will I let you watch it for yourself. Personally, I thought it was funny, but hey I don’t take a lot of things too seriously.

Another week, another Music Monday! I decided to post something vintage for today. Taking us back to the 1970s. Do you remember this song? It’s a nice easy listening song that seemed perfect for a lazy hazy summer day.

Have a good week bloggers!
Morning Bloggers, it’s another start to a new week in a new month and it’s creeping closer to fall and shorter days and cooler temps. For now though, summer is still here with it’s hot mugginess.
I came across this song on YouTube that seems to be a huge hit for dancing, Zumba, and anything else that gets a body moving. I heard it on a short video clip and had to go looking for the song. I don’t know much about it or who created it or sings it, but it definitely puts a spring into one’s step.

It’s rolled around to another Monday so you know what that means! How many of you remember this little ditty from the past? The tune is instantly recognizable, but I can never remember the lyrics! Either way, it’s a great upbeat tune to start your day with. Have a favorite song? Feel free to post it for Music Monday!
Have a great week ahead!
The last of the blooms of the daylilies taken the past week. Despite the heat they are still out there giving their last hurrah. I just snapped pics and I’m not going to sort thru them to make sure there isn’t any duplicates from previous posts. You can just move along if not interested…
This daylily is a mystery. It grows less than 2 feet tall and has tiny 1 and a half to 2 inch bloom. It has to be sent by accident or was a free daylily that was included in an order. It’s cute though!
A few other blooms other than daylilies….
Morning Bloggers, it’s another Monday and you know what that means!
I came across this song on YouTube and talk about a blast from the past. I can’t believe how young Kenny Rogers looks! And of course, with the smoothness of BJ Thomas’ voice and it was a no brainer on what to post for today.

Morning Bloggers, happy Monday!
I am continuing with the patriotic theme for this week’s Music Monday. I absolutely love this guy’s rendition of the classic tune. I looked at several videos of the song by him and finally settled on this version as it also includes baseball which it also very American and fits well with the theme.
Have a favorite tune? Feel free to post it today for Music Monday! It doesn’t have to be patriotic, but anything that takes your fancy!
Have a good week ahead and stay cool!
