Around My Cottage Recently

 







My days have been full of sunshine, blue sky, or summer storms! We had one that set off a tornado alert last night so we spent an hour down in the basement.

The weather today is cool and breezy, with sunshine. blue skies, and big. puffy, white clouds. My favorite.

My roses are blooming in the cottage garden, I'll try to get some photos this week. The Annabelle hydrangea are beginning to bloom, too!

My oldest grand turns 16 today! I hosted a party for her on Saturday. When her friends left she said, "That was fun!" That was music to my ears!

This summer is full of fun things and I am looking forward to all of it!

What are your summer plans?

Information Friday

 


Peony season has been so beautiful this year! Normally, just as they are getting ready to bloom, we'll have a heatwave and they all open at once and are done in a few days. This year, the weather has been cooler, until the last few days, and the blooms have come on a bit at a time so that I've actually been enjoying them for about three weeks now!


This week I am starting with a few of the Cabinet Secretaries, as they have been on Capitol Hill in front of committees. The Dems have been out of their minds. It's embarrassing to think this is who we have serving in our government, supposedly on our behalf!

We'll start with Marco Rubio.


Scott Bessent had several go rounds this week.


The Dem talking points right now seem to be that this administration is the most corrupt! When actually they are trying to show all the corruption and clean it up.

They began filling up the reflecting pool yesterday. By last night there was enough water in the middle to reflect the Washington Monument.





BioClandestine says, 


I agree!


Also from Clandestine - 


Meanwhile in California - 





Now to Washington - 




McConnell, Murkowski, Collins, and Tillis voted against adding the Save America Act to reconciliation. 


So Mike Lee is trying this.


Trump said this...


and is endorsing him. I don't like Lindsey Graham but I trust Trump.

The FBI has done incredible work this last year and a half!



Meanwhile, Trump continues to work to make American great again!



I hope you have a great weekend!
