Celebrating our Nation

Trying something new with my Samsung tablet.  I got to a fabulous nail tec who loves to do more than polish.  After looking at several of her patriotic nails I decided on a flag for my toes and fireworks for my fingers.  After all, two or even more birthdays to celebrate.......Our Nation, Mine, Godson, Grandson and Granddaughter.  Now that's a good reason to have my artwork. 
Today is the first day of summer.  Nice cool breeze blowing across the front porch but it's a little cloudy.  Got to find a project to keep me busy outside so I can enjoy this beautiful weather before it gets hot and muggy.  Yes, the humidity does make a difference.

Hot day in June.

It's finally getting warm in Illinois but the humidity has tagged along and humidity and I don't see eye to eye.  So I'm inside doing inside things.  Putting the jelly roll quilt together so it can be used as a headboard in one of the bedrooms.  Still need some assistance since it's not perfectly square.  Finished a knitted dish cloth.  Ron likes the round home made ones better than the ones purchased in stores. 
Did take time out today to see my favorite nail gal.  Gloria is set in her new place and looking good.  Got my feet done the same as before, blue big toes with silver stars and the other toes are white with red stripes.  My finger nails are patriotic also.  Thumb is red, white and blue.  The other fingers are red with white, silver and blue lines showing firecrackers going off with some sparkles on top.  It's going to be the 4th and 7th of July soon.  Got to celebrate. Just call be fascinating fingernails. 

Garden is coming along.  Ron built a fence around it to keep out the critters so now the baby rabbits don't have to share since they're the only ones who can get thru the fence.  Picked radishes so far. French Breakfast radishes, my favorite.  I see a radish sandwich in my future. 

Life has been good to us both and for that we are thankful.
