beautiful summer week

this week, the weather has been AMAZING! it's supposed to get pretty hot today (might reach 95), but every day this week so far, has been in the 70's (or low 80's) - sunny, but not too humid - just gorgeous!!!

i took this pic tuesday, on my way home from work - i just had to pull over & snap it
i LOVE, LOVE living in VA!!! :0)

the flowerbed is looking even better today!

i got more of the tiny weeds out last night while the kids were at VBS.....i can't tell u how gratifying it is to build a pile of weeds! ~lol~

this is only one of the 3 piles i got like this - today, i feel like i did a million squats - my thighs are so tight & burning! ~lol~


the blooming gladiolus that i thought would be red is looking more pinky/orange - just beautiful!

my sweet flowers - whoa, look at those ashy knees! i can't believe they're allowed to go out of the house like that! ~lmao~

they're nuts! ;0)

we had a visitor in our van this morning.....right as i was pulling onto the street of the girls' daycare, a pretty moth flew in through the front window.....it just sat there until i pulled in & was about to go around and escort it out - then it flew back out on it's own....i guess it was just tired & wanted a ride the rest of the way ;0) the girls thought it was too cool!
