Our heat index was 110 yesterday! I have been in the local lakes here more this summer than I ever have before. It’s the only place where the heat is tolerable! The humidity broke after strong storms last night so we are enjoying the cooler, dryer air today!! <br /><br />I am glad you and Rick can be near but it’s tough to have to maintain distance. But you’ve got to stay healthy so we do what we have to do!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-25478889030229125392020-07-19T10:23:54.453-04:002020-07-19T10:23:54.453-04:00Jeanie, thank you so much for visiting from Claudi...Jeanie, thank you so much for visiting from Claudia's blog. I love to meet all her friends and she has many! I love Michigan having been born and raised there. I love the lakes, woods and rivers, so many beautiful parts of the state. My Parents lived very near to Lake Huron and we grew up camping in the Pigeon River State Forest. Florida does not have the same terrain or smell, I miss the wonderful clean woods smell of Michigan. Sounds like you are staying safe and being smart, so many people aren't as you very well know. By the way I love your paintings of Paris, a place I have only been to once for a very short visit but it was stunning. Stay safe my friend.Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-37335271327903317472020-07-18T14:16:08.566-04:002020-07-18T14:16:08.566-04:00Your photos make me want to live on a lake :) What...Your photos make me want to live on a lake :) What a spot!<br /><br />I see Charles Todd on that book shelf :) I love your bright zinnia.

We have a divider for the back half of the house where they stay, and they do not come in our part of the house. We visit outside keeping distance. Hard not to have the hugs! But one of our sons is from a hard hit area, and the others came on a plane. We are just so happy to see them!

Rick looks to be enjoying floating around in some nice cool water.....looks fun.....do you go out also??? I have not been swimming this summer, hope to go sometime soon. Love all the pictures. I did sew zinnias and they did come up and they were doing fine--it was my very first batch so I was excited. Then Matthew or one of them dang hurricanes came along and blew my babies clean away!! LOL I didn't try again this year either, but Maybe I can still find some seeds, they did sprout quick, I had them in a hanging basket and we take all those down and put lawn chairs well, EVERYTHING AWAY when we are evacuated----but still the winds got to my baby zinnias and blew them clean out of the pot! Love seeing the big stack of books........GOT TO HAVE BOOKS, no matter where you are, right?/! And classical guitar would be just lovely. Cherries I dont' like but then again, I am WEIRD, HA HA LOL!
