It has been hot here.
Crazy Hot!
We have broken all records
with our heat this year.
We've been working on
emptying the garage...
Kinda scary, huh?
I'll show you the
AFTER pictures in a day or so.
Anyway,
we suffer as we work
outside in the blistering heat.
However,
evening bring us this.
and this...
and this....
The peace and quiet settles in.
MyHero and I relax
a bit and watch the sun set.
Nothing mars the evening
save the call of the gulls
and the hum of the last fishing
boats headed for port.
Wait.
Wait....
Wait.......
WHAT IS THAT
TAPPING SOUND?
Ahh....must be the magic
dancing fairies coming out
Nothing like a magic fairy
to catch the last fleeting
rays of sunlight, is there?
Do you suppose a
gin and tonic would
silence those shoes?;>)

The sunset is gorgeous!
Your too funny Diana. You have so much fun with Sweet Cheeks.
Oh my Stars! At first, I thought you posted a photo of me! I have those same shoes. Although my Princess Outfit is more teal.

What a gorgeous sunset, a reward for all of your hard work.
Depends who has the G&T really, if SweetCheeks starts on them.......
You are a brave lady to tackle the garage this summer!! Beautiful photo's, it
s still to hot to sit outside here even in the night
What a gorgeous view, Diana! I'm sure it is wonderful to sit and take that in after a hard day of cleaning out the garage. : ) I was up super early today {for some pre-menopausal reason, I'm sure} and put the news on ~ 82 degrees at 5:45 a.m. and it's only going up from there!
You do have a divine view of the lake and sunset. I seriously feel like we've been transplanted to AZ this summer. Crazy.
Diana, What a beautiful sunset.:) We have had many record breaking days of heat here in Indiana also. Please try to do your work in the early hours of the day before the heat comes up. Dance fairy dance !
Gotta love those dancing feet, she's Irish you know, she may take up riverdancing.:):)xo, Susie
Cleaning out our garage is officially on our fall to do list. Your view is breathtaking.
What a beautiful view.
Come clean out my garage, your's looks quite empty compared to mine. I've got cabinet doors, tile, and other building stuff stacked everywhere.
Diana, it is so hot here also! I can imagine how hot was inside the garage. I spent all morning outside yesterday mowing and cleaning the front yard and, for a minute there, I didn't think I was going to make it! LOL The sunset is gorgeous!!! Your are so lucky to live next to the water!
You would miss the sound of those shoes if you silenced them :) You have such a beautiful view! Where I am, I never see sunset or sunrise because of all the trees. I have to drive to finish a day like that.
When I first saw the picture of the piled up furniture, I thought, "Wow, she's let those grandchildren go crazy this time!"
what a sunset, ooo la la, gotta love those tapping fairy toes!!!Good luck with garage, lots of treasures in there, we never had anything that interesting in ours!
I have convinced myself that my hot garage is a dangerous place to be this summer-
as in-
Do Not Enter!
My advice?
Enjoy the tapping shoes, the sunset, and the gin and tonic!

Looks like you have a near perfect place to relax at the end of a long day ~ beautiful!
When you are done cleaning out your garage, can you come over here and help me clean out my house. I'm getting ready for a pre-kids-come-home-from-camp mega purge and I'm dreading it!
Have a great day Diana
That sunset is just beautiful. Your little fairy is, too.
My garage desperately needs to be cleaned. It's so hot in there and icky! LOL.
That sunset is amazing. I love a sunset over the water.
I think tapping shoes and gin/tonic is a great combo. Hehe.

Another smile - your blog should come with a smile guarantee! The sunset is soothing and your visitor a total charmer.
You have a gorgeous view to unwind with. I'm going to have to tackle the garage this fall. I'm not crazy enough to do it in the blazing heat of summer.
What a beautiful sunset! So calming, enjoy! It has been crazy hot here too today we are just chillin and doing things we enjoy. It's rare we have a day where we're not running somewhere doing something!
Blessings,
Jill
stunning ....what a way to end the day...xo
Beautiful sunset! But you know my favorite part is little Miss Sweet Cheeks and her Cinderella dress!

You are so blessed to see those gorgeous sunsets over Lake Michigan, Diana! and then to see dancing fairies too....well, that's just unbelievable!
xxoo
oh I would love to dig around in your garage! HEAT HOT YUCK.
I am so sick of it!!!
Hubby and I just said last night that we would love to be on a lake. So, I guess that means that we are moving in with you, he he.
Tired of the stinkin hot for sure. We are getting a little rain today.....every little bit helps.
Good luck with that garage. Looks like alot of treasures in there.
What a gorgeous sunset! And I think the magic fairy is the perfect touch to the end of the day. :-)
Our garage seems to stay in a mess! I won't clean it by myself though since most of it is not my mess! Ha! It is so hot to be working in a stuffy garage, but how good it will feel when you get it done! Love that sunset picture. Is that your view?!
It won't be long before she has outgrown those shoes and no more taping. They grow so fast.
Better make it a double on the G & T, I remember shoes like that on my daughter!!!! Thanks for popping by, Laura
If those feet weren't tapping you'd wish they were. I know. My kids just left! I have had Grace & Olivia since Saturday and I'm tired, I need to rest and there is work that didn't get done while they were here that I need to catch up on. But - I already miss my girls. I began missing them before they got out of the driveway. How silly is that? But - I will catch the work up so when I get to have them again, I can shove it all aside and enjoy!
My oh my, Diana,
Even on a sweltering day, a view like this takes all memory of how hot and uncomfortable we may have been earlier away - and the tapping of the dancing fairies is just a cherry on top of the Sundae of Life!
Have a wonderful rest of the week!
Blessings,
Donna
The sunsets are lovely. I think it would be nice to have a dancing fairy around.
What a view!!!!!!!!! Hugs, Penny

Lovely place to enjoy God's beautiful world!

I could look at that view forever, lucky lady. Clacking heels and all!
Where is your friend? I don't see him there...he's maybe off to the left?
Oh how i miss those warm summer evenings! It is so cold here ...around 65 degrees tomorrow maybe high of 70! Enjoy it Diana and those tapping ruby slippers!!!

such a lovely place you live in, beautiful sunsets and dancing fairies...how wonderful!
I am sorry it is so hot...wish I could send you some of our rain. Your setting sun photos are lovely..along with your red shoe girl. oxox Hugs
A gin and tonic at sunset can do most anything!!!
Smiles, Dottie
Gorgeous images. Hope you get some respite from the heat. I a hosting a HomeGoods Giveaway on my blog. Hope to see you there!! love Anu
I would gladly come and help you clean the garage if I could then sit with you and your Hero and watch that amazing sunset with you!!!! You really do have a perfectly beautiful life Diana...and your own little faerie too...what could be better than that????
sending hugs...
Oh yes, the fairies always dance at night. That sunset is worth all the heat one can stand. The garage looks like there might be a treasure or two hiding in there. Hope it cools down soon. We were in the high 80's today, just nice.
Hugs,
Jann
tapping on your heart...Arney and I worked all day upstairs, and we are starting see the light...looks like your project is a big one too.
Thank you for reading my chapter story 1965..more to read today. Hugs, Mary
Oh my gosh a gin and tonic. How very British and refreshing. Your sunsets are amazing.
magic fairy are the best! warm milk does the trick...right before bed time :)
Your sunsets are amazing. Let the garage wait until it cools down and just sit and enjoy your view. What a beautiful sight!
That beautiful sunset would definitely be worth the hot day! I miss the days of fairy dancing!
