Island Time

What do you do when there is a heat index warning out?  Well, you hop on the Harley and ride in it. Oye.  We participated in a bike run, which involved going to the island.  One of them.  Our favorite one.

The picture is us leaving on the ferry.  On the bike.  It was hot.  Very hot.  We survived.  We saw a few ambulances take a few people away, but we survived.  We also tucked in early.  The motel people put our air conditioner on 63°F. Boy it felt awesome.
 

We had to walk to town for a golf cart, but my smart husband paid a young kid $5 to drive us back to the motel when we returned it.

As for the bike run, we had to get our paper stamped by businesses over on the island then return it the next day for a drawing.  Today, they are drawing one lucky winner for a $1300.00 island package.  

What's on the agenda today?  Weed, weed, weed, and weed.

Or sit in front of the fan on the porch and recoup.  I know one thing.  We are putting in our downstairs air conditioner.  There have been way too many heat waves this year.

I've always enjoyed trips to Tybee Island off the coast of Georgia. We usually go in winter when no one is there.
Harry, I may be getting to GA one of these days to visit Jekyll Island. Tybee sounds fun too. Thanks for visiting my blog today too!

That water sure looks good! Sounds like a fun time, even with the heat.
Susan, it was actually cooler there than at the homestead too. Yep. A very good time.

Yes that's hot, but an AC is a good investment. We'd be pretty uncomfortable is our 100+ summer temps! But at least it's dry here, no humidity!
Nancy, it's been very humid here. And more heat.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
