Ahhh....

Finally some relief from the heat!

I don't know about where your at, but here

and for most of us, it has been miserable!

 But, this morning it is cool and refreshing outside

so I decided to sit out on our porch and do a little post

about what we've been up to around here.

My hubby took from the 4th until today off from work.

I think he had plans to spend alot of time working on our shed.

But, because of the heat that didn't happen....

except for a few small things when it was somewhat cool enough.

I did get one project completed after months of  nagging patiently waiting.

I'll tell you about that in just a second. But, first I want to share 

something with you that I finally found!

 I mentioned in an earlier post when sprucing up our porch

that I wanted to hang this sign, but hubby won't let me put a nail 

in our vinyl siding....

Well, I had heard of hangers in the past, but in asking 

around at different home improvement stores,

none seemed to "know" what I was talking about.

Which surprised me with all the homes that are

sided with vinyl these days!

Anyway, as determined as I can be sometimes....

I Googled and lo and behold I found them!

 Why it took me so long is beside me, but

I ordered them off ebay and within 2-3 days

they were here and I got my sign

~and a few other things~

hung!

~ NO hammer or nails required~

easy peasy!

 Here is a close up of one....

sorry it's blurry!

You just slip that top hookie end up under the siding

and Wa La....

ready to hang something!

Now for the project I've been excited to get done!

 I had mentioned in the past about wanting to have

a trellis put up behind my swing.  You can see the 

pieces waiting on the floor directly behind it.

The hubby wasn't real excited with my  plan

and in fact said it wouldn't hold the Wisteria

gone wild all over my porch column....

 But I begged and yes, Nagged enough!

So I painted them a very dark hunter green

and waited a few days and finally he surprised me

and hung them!

 I. Am. In. LOVE!!!!

 No matter the angle it just makes the whole porch....

 In my opinion!

(hubby admits he likes it too)

That Wisteria really has gone crazy trying to

wind itself around everything.  It wound up 

and around my porch swing chain and up to the ceiling....

But, it hasn't produced a bloom yet

and we've had it about 8 years!

If you have any advice please let me know!

 This is the last I posted on our shed.

As I said hubby took those days off to work on it.

He has done alot since you've seen this picture and I 

will do a post about that in the next few days.

I think you'll be impressed!

Today I have to go run some errands

and have my mammogram....

I had my physical last week and complained to

my doctor that I hate having them done

because I always get called back a few weeks out

to come in for an ultrasound because they have a "concern"!

I have fibrocystic disease....of course they are going to find something!

So, the doctor said she could request they do both today

because she has the same problem and it does cause concern

when you get that call.  Wish me luck as you never know!

Can't wait to get back Home and enjoy

my porch in this cooler weather 

we are thankful to have right now!

Enjoy your day and Thanks for stopping by!
