This and That

 

Our lupines bloomed so well this season.

 

Happy June my friends,

The year is flying by for me. I am struggling to keep up with all the adventures I want to share with you here on the blog. Yes, we are still doing our 52 day dates, but I have not been able to keep up posting. One day I will dump it all on you. 

We went thrifting for one of our day dates. We had a great day and found a treasure. I will get around to sharing soon. 

In the meantime, let us go for a stroll in the garden. Meet our new kitty, pick out your favorite bouquet to take home and take a peek at a special gift.

 

 

Our son Sam needed help with one of his kitties, Benny. We adopted Benny. He is adjusting well to his new home.

 

 

We celebrated our wedding anniversary on May 31st. Our friend J made us this lovely pillow. Each rectangle is a piece of history. The cloth is from the 1930's.

(a rich history dating back to the 1930s when flour companies began printing colorful designs and sewing patterns on cotton bags to help struggling families make their own clothing during the Great Depression)

 

Flowers and more flowers. Photos of a few bouquets I have made.

 Our peony have done so well this season.

 

 

Decorating for the big birthday party. I created a red, white and blue theme of planters on the front deck. I will share more as they grow and fill in.

 

 

I also created a bed with red, white, blue flowers and plants that is at the front of our property that you can see from the street. Happy Birthday America!

 

 

Taking a peek at one more bouquet. Iris, peony and bees balm are used in this bouquet.

Do you have a favorite?
