If Wednesday is hump day of the week, today, July 2, is hump day of our year. We've had 182 days before now with another 182 to go. If you've got your photo today, you're now OVER halfway. Hurray!

What a wonderful teapot and super page with its photo. The bit of green is perfect.

I agree the red and black look wonderful and your page is gorgeous.

Our TV weather person said when it's hot in the west, it's cool in the east. So I'm glad you've got heat you like so I can have it nice and cool!

A peaceful place for me is on the lake shore watching, watching birds, boats, weather . . .

Maya, how wonderful! Congratulations on a great achievement. Your creativity will surely enliven your architecture. Have a great vacation.

Looks like a lovely week! The goat is adorable - must be a rather odd golfer though.

The back view reminded me of many photos with that as an unintended result. Credits: AnnaLift of Little guard dog by MaggieMae https://ozone.oscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=288837&title=little-guard-dog&cat=1351 by Anna Aspnes: ArtPlay Palette Remember SkribbleArtStrokes...

Guess I'm not a big fan of the Betty White TV show so spoof its title for Daddy's rocking chair photo. He would have laughed at the show but would never have done any of those antics. Credits: -papers: Just Me and My Dad {freebie} by Paula Kesselring -stitching, grid: Purple Rain by Paula...

It is for sure summer this week! (though cool to start).

This week summer officially arrived and by Sunday it was over 90 F. Credits: -right background: Fly With Me by Val C. Designs -brown and green papers: Shabby Chic Rooms Part 1 by Retro Designs -scroll frame: Summer Past by Retro Designs -transfers: ArtPlay Palette Lush by Anna Aspnes...
