Cool Down, Mr Jigsaw




This hot and humid weather has found me searching for sleeveless tops and shorts, most of which were put away in another room a long time ago. It's a pleasure to search through my summer clothes and remember how many items I have, enough that I don't need to rush out and update my wardrobe. Or open the catalogue which is usually my case. The Farmer and I have put Amy's pool together, given it a much needed wash and filled it up again. The Farmer tried to spray me with the hose pipe once or twice; said something about a wet tee-shirt competition but I couldn't quite get the gist of what he meant. I think he enjoyed watching me scrub the bottom of the pool. Another comment about it looking good at the top end seemed to go right over my head; he's getting quite mischievous in his old age.


This is (a bloody awful photo of) me pictured with Bonnie. Some of the pups are opening their eyes.

What do you mean, awful?!!! You look so tender and loving, and you are a pretty woman, Crystal! Why are we women always so critical with ourselves? Believe you me, YOU ARE LOVELY!

Jude said...

It's a beautiful photo of you, it is!!!
And those words from Mr. Crystal prove he knows he understands how beautiful you are in his eyes!!

Maggie May said...

A lovely photo Crystal. You are too hard on yourself by far.Mr Jigsaw obviously doesn't agree with you!

Mine are one's that look awful..... and you're not seeing how awful!

Tri Mommy said...

You look lovely! And I'm thinking that Mr. Jigsaw agrees...

Looking good there Miss CJ, I do the same thing in the summer and fall I put away my fall clothes and pull out the summer and visa versa, it is fun to see and remember what is forgotten in the winter. Bonnie looks just as nice.

I totally understand what you mean - I am always hyper critical of pictures of me! You look great! That Mr Jigsaw needs some ice cubes in his underwear to cool him off a bit!

Pat Posner said...

You BOTH look lovely on the photo. Aww on Bonnie's pink tootsies.

Brian Miller said...

wonderful pics!

rosiero said...

I thought it was a very good photo too. No wonder the Farmer is getting playful!!

Rudee said...

You are the picture of beauty. No wonder Mr. Jigsaw' imagination is getting such a workout.

Flowerpot said...

Isnt it wonderful being WARM?!! I like the photo too...

The Green Stone Woman said...

You look great, Crystal, and that puppy in your arms lights up your whole face. No wonder Mr Jigsaw is so feisty. You're turning the poor man on.

Donna said...

Hahahaaa!! You should have helped Farmer INTO the pool and let the fun begin!!hughugs

Velveteen Rabbit said...

Ditto ditto ditto CJ :D everything thats written above!

Troy said...

"Hot and humid" - are you sure you are still living in Northumberland?

It sounds like The Farmer is getting very frisky. Perhaps in due course the patter of tiny feet won't be just puppies. It must be all the sleeveless tops rather than the three layers of clothes that usually feature in your blog photos.

I'm also curious to know whether you found any sleeveless shorts?

Maddy said...

Give over! It's a great photo. Most of the photos of me are of some miscellaneous body part usually elbows!

Yes we were over there but deep down south in Poole. Now we're back in balmy California with a very pleasant 84 degrees.
Cheers

Devi said...

is that catmint with the lady bug? wonderful photos my dear, and remember as soon as a picture is taken of you, you will never be as young as you are at that moment. so savor them and take lots. just don't look at them right away, you may find you like them a lot better.

Jeni said...

Well, I can look at that picture and understand why Mr. Farmer would make those comments to you! Looking pretty darned spiffy there, Kiddo! And the puppy is just a bit of icing on the advertising cake too!

Samantha said...

What a sweet little pup! And, I agree that you're too hard on yourself, beautiful girl!

Angela Recada said...

You are beautiful! And the pup is absolutely adorable. Your Mr. Jigsaw sounds like he still has some life left in him!
:0)

Together We Save said...

Great picture of you and the puppies.

Betsy said...

That frisky Mr. Jigsaw! LOL!

kanmuri said...

You look great!!!

BluesVox said...

Fantastic shot you look great. I hope you don't get the heat wave we had last couple of weeks oh my it was hot. It's thankfully back to normal and just in time as our hot season starts in 3weeks lol. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the pics.

Sabrina said...

Aw, CJ, I think it's a great photo! You are very pretty! Don't be so critical of yourself.

BTW, the puppy is adorable, too! =)

Debbie said...

That is not a bad photo. And what a cute puppy.

Janie said...

I think it's a lovely photo. Mr Jigsaw obviously likes what he sees!

Kathleen said...

To quote a dear friend of mine when I start down the road of self-deprecation: "Oh, stop it."

Thank so much for sharing that delightful story!

I think you should post a photo of the Farmer -- in a wet tee shirt!

Cheers!

Ash said...

I'm sorry, but is there an alternate meaning for the word "awful" that I don't know about? I think you've an adorable smile! :)

cheshire wife said...

That is a lovely natural looking photo of you.

Shadow said...

summer fun... i'm so envious...

Crystal Jigsaw said...

Well I wasn't fishing for compliments but I'm now blushing! Thanks for all your kind words. Yes, frisky Mr Jigsaw indeed. I will ask him if I can post his photo too. Probably best me just posting our wedding photo again, as it's the best one we have together!

CJ xx

Rob-bear said...

Great picture of author and puppy. No surprise the Farmer is getting frisky.

How are Sparky and Molly doing in the hot weather?

SandyCalico said...

It's a lovely photo CJ and a funny post x

♥ Boomer ♥ said...

ADORABLE PUPPIES!!!!!!♥♥♥

I do love your header, too. So glad that I stopped by tonight!

Absolute Vanilla (and Atyllah) said...

The sunshiney weather is clearly "warming" up the farmer! :-) Isn't it so nice to be appreciated though!
And it's a gorgeous pic of you!

CAMILLA said...

Hello Crystal,

The photo of you is just lovely, you are a beauty Crystal, and look at the little Bonnie Pup you are holding, so sweet, I guess you are going to keep her?

I adore the header picture of Pups, sooo gorgeous.!

xx

Marie said...

That's not an awful picture! It's a lovely one.

seashell cosmos said...

Ditto-you are lovely and so is your voice! I heard you on that adorable puppy video, so sweet, really made me smile. xxx seashell Really, if anyone feels a little down they only need to watch that - you can't help but smile!!

Dogwalkmusings said...

That photo is not awful! Your face shows how much you love those pups!

ciara said...

well, from what i can see of you in the photo it's no wonder mr. jigsaw needs a bit of a cooling off :) you are, as we say here, HOT!

aims said...

We still don't have the pool up Crystal.

We set a record low on 2nd of July with ice on the deck and frost covering everything else. In July!

I think the pool is going to be a waste of water this year. I doubt very much if we get a real summer at all!

Country Girl said...

Ha! What a fun post, CJ. See what putting a pair of shorts on and a sleeveless blouse will do to a man? Add the water and some soap and . . . heavens to murgatroyd, let the fireworks begin!

clareybabble said...

Not a horrible pic at all you lovely lady xx

Pouty Lips said...

That's a pretty picture of you. A wet T-shirt contest is where women line up in white t-shirts and get soaked. Then the audience votes on the one who looks the best in the wet t-shirt.

Joanna Jenkins said...

You look terrific! And the puppy is pretty cute too!
