Goodbye August

I am sitting on the porch enjoying the last few hours of August. The peepers are loud but it is warm and wonderful wrapped in the darkness of the night, goodbye summer I will miss you.                                                                                             

I thought I would show you a bit of the flooding that happened with Irene. This is a amphitheater where summer plays are put on. It is small but it is all underwater except one step. There is a river that runs behind it usually a fun place for the kids to swim or just float.                                                               

 And this is what it looked like right after the river receded.

 I did get to the thrift today before work. This is a sweet child size apron. With what I think is called chicken scratch embroidery Christmas trees.

 I picked up this sweet handmade pot holder. I was going to collect only the red but this yellow was so cute. I am going to hand wash it and hope it gets a little brighter.

 and these two little bowls. I think they would look nice on a night stand for your change or jewelery.

 and 20 yards of hot pink ribbon. I think it would look great on some little girls first birthday presents.

Have a great holiday weekend stay safe.
