~A NEWS FLASH..~

I think with so many nice bloggers to visit...three photo's is enough.
(I told myself this ...)
NEWS FLASH  (well..it was to us Westerners!)
We awoke to thunder and lightening this morning..then a heavy downpour, which left many residents without power for awhile.  By late morning, some were still without power.
It cooled our weather down considerably.

Had I known how easy it was to just ask some of you out there to send me a bit of your rain..I would have done it LONG ago!  
Thank you, you little sweethearts!
 

I tried ivy at first but couldn't see my Rooster and hen..so...a pretty fern was perfect.
Sooo wha' daya think? :)  I love it!  Nothing unusual..but still...for three dollars?? 

I also bought two big ivy's for the old wagon. 

Another view.
Now for a few pumpkins...:)  Ok..I'll wait a bit longer..but not much!!
NOT much! 
Yes, this is just the beginning... FALL is on the way..just a few more weeks....
 

Lest you forget how cute I am!  Love Mele~
 
Lotsa love,
Mona 
 
Shoot!  I forgot to join Marty at her "Inspire Me" party" 
 

 Come see how inspired you will become..

    Hi Mona! Glad you got some rain. Now if I ask 'pretty please' would you send us some? I love the fern in your Rooster urn and no, I never forget how pretty that little Mele is.
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

    Mona, so glad you got some rain - we got none. Oh well at least it cooled your area down.
    I love the fern in the rooster planter - really looks good. The ivy looks better in the wagon. Got a small bale of straw today at Michael's so I am getting ready for my fall decorations. As soon as Labor Day is over will start decorating.
    Have a wonderful week Mona.
