If they are short on water, just be sure they don't get overheated as well. Ours really got ZAPPED in our heat a bit ago, but since the temps have backed off a little, and we've gotten some rain, they've started growing again. We're definitely on the waning side of summer, thank goodness.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-64231612997586929672016-07-18T17:25:43.035-07:002016-07-18T17:25:43.035-07:00I love the idea of spending a large amount of time...I love the idea of spending a large amount of time in a book and really contemplating what you're reading.

This week I finished one and partly read then discarded 2. Life is too short to read books you don't enjoy reading. Sort of like you not doing a sketch that you didn't want to do.<br />Have a great week.

A very dedicated and faithful Christian. All the sketches are delightful. I can't do animals at all. It's fun to get "new" books. I can reread books and enjoy them as new books. I forget that I've read something until something is mentioned that rings a bell and I say: wait, I think I've already read this! I would say it is age, but it has happened all my life.Fayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06006293795541608715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786951846629057059.post-76581570675508145552016-07-17T14:18:41.937-07:002016-07-17T14:18:41.937-07:00What a great library sale haul! The Chosen is one ...What a great library sale haul! <i>The Chosen</i> is one of my favorites, too, and <i>Open Heart, Open Home</i> was very encouraging in my youth! I am exactly the way you describe as to history, loving it but not remembering things...<br /><br />Which is why I might enjoy taking <i>The Puritan Dilemma</i> off the shelf to read again. That came into my life through my husband, who had to read it for a college class, and it was one that fascinated me.<br /><br />The way you feel about your art reminds me somewhat of my relationship to my own biggest creative outlet, writing. I like crafting a blog post because it is a small enough project that I have hope of completing it -- even if it takes me four hours, which some do, that is shorter than if I were to try to write a novel. It is both more defined and gives me more liberty than some kinds of writing that might stretch my skills more.<br /><br />And as I can create something short and sharable, it is a means of connecting with friends and making new friends who are interested in the same things. Like you! Now if I would just try to make some ATC's, we could add a layer to our friendship ;-)<br /> <br />The verb is <i>swung</i> ... I had this same question when I was last up north with my grandchildren and their swings. I had to look it up!<br />GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.com
