Wordless Wednesday~B&B
Bugs and beer. Summer in the country. Under the Oaks.
Joining Linda at Wordless Wednesday Again!
I am a small town girl turned city gal turned country gal that wanted to indulge myself with a blog where I could place my pictures of subjects that are special to me. Pictures of people, places, things, kitties, horses and wild things on legs and feathered that make my heart happy. I also wanted to print a few words. I am a born in MissouREE retired in MissouREE happy picture taker living rural with a Nikon D5100 and D60 that are both smarter than I am. They are trying to boss me around and I am loving it. Both picture taking Nikons have recruited a few lenses to make me feel even more bossed around and clueless. I am learning each day and that is a good and fun thing.

So very true!
June 20, 2012 at 8:17 am
keep the lid on the one and the other open and don’t mix ‘em up!
June 20, 2012 at 8:26 am
LaurenLaurel you crackin’ me up this morning! Wise advice…June 20, 2012 at 8:31 am
Now don’t YOU start calling me Lauren! >:-D
Do you actually have summer there? Ours seems to be delayed, not that I’m complaining because when it shows up, it’s way too hot for me.
Happy Almost Solstice!
June 20, 2012 at 8:44 am
What! Tell me what I should call you! Other than sweet and funny and a writer that makes me think~tell me…
It is hotter than he-double L here. I want Fall.
June 20, 2012 at 8:48 am
I’m not very helpful, am I?! Whoops! It’s Laurel!
At my job there was a Lauren plus me, Laurel. It was quite usual to have each of us called by the other’s name. One day, I referred to MYSELF as Lauren! See, that was a sign that my February wasn’t a distinct disaster; I had the makings of my current state well embedded!
Lonestarqueen mentions misters–I have one over the bird bath and I swear it keeps the south-facing garden a little cooler. Recommend them highly (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Songbird-Essentials-Easy-Mister/dp/B001HB1BXQ/ref=pd_sim_sbs_misc_1). Get thee cooooooool!

Laurel!!!! I have a blog friend named Lauren, her blog is Mental P Mama and when I start typing L a u r e I just put an n on the end of it…!!!! Sorry. I will
remmeberremember Laurel or just “L”. I really like to refer to someone by their name when speaking or typing to them! We have misters on two of our birdbaths. When we sit out under the oaks we put the sprinkler off to the side. It really helps but on days like we have been having we move to the ac cooled four seasons porch! I can’t take the humidity~bah.June 20, 2012 at 9:17 am
me too about WordPress! the notifications plus the Comments I’ve Made have not updated for ages. i’m already havin’ enough trouble remembering where I’ve been!
June 20, 2012 at 10:10 am
It’s quite all right, Oakses! It was funny to me and I was pretty darned sure you knew my name. I just know how disorienting it is to discover that one has been calling someone by the wrong name, when one cares about names like you do!
I love that–”two of our birdbaths”! I only have the one…. We have been having awful humidity too, but at least the temps have dropped so it isn’t as stultifying. Can’t live in humidity any more–did that as a child on the East Coast and STILL remember the drag on me.
Oooh and aaaahh that you have a 4-season porch. Lovely!
June 20, 2012 at 9:48 am
Why am I having to approve this comment and it is pending? You have been commenting for months. WordPress has been driving me to distraction. I am glad you said something about your name…
June 20, 2012 at 9:52 am
Wondering where the comment I just left went. I don’t know why I have such a problem commenting on your blog. Anywho…I said that you probably need the Deep Woods Off with all that nature around you. I also said, I hope that you and CH are enjoying the summer. It’s been hot around here and we have been sitting on the back porch under the misters with our beer. Hillbilly is on Staycation this week.
June 20, 2012 at 8:32 am
Deb I think alot of people have trouble commenting on my blog. WordPress makes it difficult for Blogger peeps and even us WordPress bloggers to comment. I don’t get why they make it so difficult. Thanks for hanging in there and commenting. It is hotter than he-double L around here too. We would be enjoying summer alot more if it wasn’t so HOT! I am ready for Fall! Glad Hillbilly has vacation and you two are kickin’ back! Enjoy!!
June 20, 2012 at 8:45 am
All set! Voice of experience here? Your edits even have that summer feeling.
June 20, 2012 at 8:52 am
Faye I visited your blog this morning and loved my visit. I would like to follow but I don’t see a way to follow by subscription. I will just mark you to my favorites. I had to get off the computer cause of stuff happening here but I am coming back to visit and comment! Thank you for visiting Under the Oaks. I know it is hard for blogspot people to comment on WordPress blahgs!
June 20, 2012 at 9:04 am
Tempting, very tempting…
June 20, 2012 at 9:33 am
I know!!! At least it isn’t 9:43am for you. I really am not a beer drinker but CH loves his stout. But not in the morning. Wine time, beer time~4:00pm.
June 20, 2012 at 9:45 am
Well, I think I may have some vinho verde later, or just stick with the fizzy water for now.
June 20, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Not a beer drinker either. But I did have a glass of Catawba yesterday at four all by myself. Peaceful.
June 21, 2012 at 5:19 am
Indeed! Love it;)
June 20, 2012 at 9:36 am
I was just talking about you in comments! Your ears must have been burning…
Good Morning Lauren! Thinking of you and your move!
June 20, 2012 at 9:40 am
My ears were!!! Just got a great bid from a mover and going to set the date today!!! Yowza!
June 20, 2012 at 10:15 am
I am so happy for you Lauren! I can’t stop smiling…
Yowza is right. Don’t tell anybody but I think we have decided to move back home to St. Louis. Went there looking at homes yesterday. Time for us to go home too, but it might take awhile.
June 20, 2012 at 10:21 am
Now that’s MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY kinda B&B !!!!
Pam (with Sam but no beer for him)
June 20, 2012 at 9:37 am
I KNOW!!! And no, no beer for little ginger Sammy!
June 20, 2012 at 9:47 am
Well, no beer for us, but we definitely have the bugs! They seem to be especially prevalent in the evenings when I’m trying to get my sunset photos!
June 20, 2012 at 9:55 am
Evenings are bad. Lots of skeeters when I water my container plants. And you are by the water! I am glad you brave the bugs so we get to see your sunsets…
June 20, 2012 at 10:00 am
Summer is here for sure..along with some unwanted visitors!!!! Great shot!!!
June 20, 2012 at 10:16 am
Hi Janis! Summer is definitely here! Thanks for the visit. It is the no-seeums we can’t take.
June 20, 2012 at 10:25 am
ha ha.

Hi Pix, I like your photo…it says Summer, for sure! I just wish it weren’t so hot!! I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything in this heat! We won’t even think about a vacation until fall, although a short trip to Branson sounds kinda good. If we can find a weekend that is a FEW degrees cooler. I hear ya about the insects, they are thicker than ever this summer. I got stung by a wasp the other day and am on antibiotics now for a tick bite that started looking ugly. Ah well…that’s life…and it’s still good!! Enjoy your day under the oaks!!
June 20, 2012 at 11:01 am
Good Morning Cheryl! Ditto on your thoughts about the heat. They are teasing us with a forecast this morning of 0.3 of an inch! Bah! Sorry about your critter encounters. Those ticks are nothing to mess with! We are waiting for September to get away too.
June 21, 2012 at 7:40 am
I love it…well except for the bugs part! Thanks for joining this week – always fun to have you!
June 20, 2012 at 11:38 am
I enjoyed it Linda! Thank you for hosting it, It is a great midweek photo opportunity!
June 21, 2012 at 5:17 am
Hi, just popping in to see what you are up to
June 20, 2012 at 12:48 pm
Ima doin’ nothing…
Not able to sleep!
June 21, 2012 at 5:18 am
Hey Pix!
I will have to pass on the beer, never liked the taste but you could rub a lime all over you. It keeps the bugs off and you can use the rest for a Margarita. LOL.
June 20, 2012 at 3:29 pm
I don’t drink beer either but CH loves stout. Seriously about the lime? Ima buy some limes today!
June 21, 2012 at 5:21 am
I have heard it works to keep the bugs away Pix but I havent tried it myself so I cant vouch!
June 21, 2012 at 5:22 am
I will let you know. I have a good test environment.
June 21, 2012 at 5:25 am
Looks like you’ve got summer covered! lol I don’t look forward to the bugs arrival. Their presence has been a bit spotty so far, as the weather has been very strange this year.
June 20, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Bugs! We got em. All kinds. Everywhere.
June 21, 2012 at 5:22 am
Bugs and beer. What a great combo.
June 20, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Only thing better is a glass of Stone Hill Catawba…
Where is Fall?
June 21, 2012 at 7:43 am
Don’t hate me, but we don’t seem to have many bugs yet this year. It’s only fair, though. We could barely go outside last year because of all the skeeters.
June 20, 2012 at 6:27 pm
No hate here! If you can get a less bug filled season I would celebrate!
June 21, 2012 at 7:45 am
Honey, summer time has finally found us here in Maine. It was a hot and steamy day with a temperature of 92 degrees. Tomorrow 94, I dare not even utter nor think of the word FALL. I went to water the gardens this evening, but the mosquitos were thick as thieves and chased me back into the house, I do need to put OFF on my “to buy” list. Tomorrow I am heading to our camp and plan on floating in the lake all day. Pack up the beer, load up CH and come to Maine. I’ll make sure I have the OFF on hand. Greetings from Maine, Julie.
June 20, 2012 at 7:29 pm
Julie, could I leave CH here and just have some girl time? Hot and steamy here too, same temps. I have already said the Fall word in these comments. I want Fall NOW! I would settle for some rain. Have fun at your camp, floating sounds heavenly!
June 21, 2012 at 5:12 am
I Laughed out loud when I saw your post! PERFECT!!!
