July is here! We're halfway through the year and it's hard for me to believe that. Here's how I spent the first day of the month.
After that I threw the sheets in the wash.
This is the devotion book I'm reading right now and enjoying. It's a study on Jacob.
When I finished these things it was close to noon and we had some special visitors stop by. Heather was nearby and she stopped with Cassie and Connor. Can you believe that I forgot to take any pictures? They stayed about 45 minutes and we had a nice time visiting.
After lunch, I made a run to the grocery store. It was a beautiful day, blue skies and a nice drive.
When I got home, I went out to Bob's shop to see what he was up to. He's working on these cute signs to put in some of our garden beds.
I spent some time reading in the afternoon. This is one of 4 books in this authors Blue Sky series. Each book can stand alone, but I'm reading each of them and totally enjoying them! If you haven't read any of her books, I recommend them.
We had taco salad for supper, a good meal on a hot day.
After supper, we took our usual walk around the yard to see what new things are blooming.
This is Bee Balm or Monarda. The flowers just started to open up.
We relaxed and watched some tv, then went out a little after 9 and sat on our deck. We've been really enjoying it in the evening.
This is a firefly. There have been a lot of them in our backyard in the evening and they are so fun to watch blinking as it gets dark.
And that's the end of my July 1. It was another good day!

I've seen the pink stuff though never used it; Great name. Catchy. I gotta get back to exercise. Gave my treadmill away though I do have a mini trampoline that's fun.
Hi Mari, here in Montreal we had rain and a good thunderstorm ☺️ I was very happy because we needed the 🌧 🌦 🌂 Yesterday was so hot and humid so it was a relief to get rain and cooler temperatures.
Your photos are lovely. The cover of the book is pretty and I have never seen a firefly before. Your day sounds enjoyable and productive. I do my exercise by walking outdoors in nature or in a mall. Kudos for your treadmill.
Hi Mari. I always enjoy your "Day in the Life" posts. I think I am going to see if I can get that Lisa Wingate book on Kindle Unlimited. It sounds good. Your yard is just gorgeous, and I love the yard signs Bob made. Yes, this year is truly just whizzing by. I'm not sure how it got to be July already, but here we are! This was a good post. Have a good week and I will see you again soon!
Great minds think alike! I have been wanting to do the same thing in my garden hill with signs like Poppy Road and Oleander Row. Of course have my projects are stuck in my head. Those signs will be a nice addition to your beautiful yard.
