Tablescape Tuesday: Welcoming Summer!

~ Food & Entertaining, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

        β€œThis is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:24‬ ‭

The humidity and the hot temps that we’ve had lately here in the Appalachian Foothills have announced that summer is here…but the new season doesn’t technically begin until 11:24pm tonight for those of us living in the Central Time Zone! Last week, Butch and I enjoyed eating dinner on the patio four different nights…the mosquitoes weren’t too bad, and the scenery was perfect!  Several mornings I sat in the cool morning breeze with my cup of coffee just enjoying the birds and wind chimes sing, the smell of lavender and magnolia, and the colors popping up all over the garden!  Join me today as I am welcoming summer here at Everyday Living!

I hope y’all don’t tire of seeing hydrangeas on my tablescapes…limelights are now beginning to bloom!

  I used a favorite linen tablecloth with sweet floral placemats.

 A mirrored tray holds flowers cut from my garden: hydrangeas, angelonia, and a single zinnia!

  2. Happy Summer Solstice, Pam! It will be 6/21 in our Eastern time zone. We have welcoming, cooler temps here this morning (not for long, though) after another 1.5″ rain yesterday.

  6. Coffee early in the morning in your garden, mosquitoes and all, would taste extra special as your garden is so beautiful. When I see what you and Butch Have done with what God gave you I think how we are to keep his garden weed free and beautiful. Keep posting pictures of your garden. I love it!

  10. We have a tropical storm headed our way.
    I never tire of hydrangeas at all. Pretty zinnia. I planted some and they came up quickly but a ways away from blooms. They are lanky because there hasn’t been much sun. Rainy all last week and cloudy when it wasn’t raining.
    Your table is pretty. I like angelonia and it looks pretty on the mirrored tray.

    • Wow, I didn’t know there was a tropical storm brewing. It rained really hard a few miles from us yesterday, but we didn’t get a drop. We actually need rain at our house. Have a wonderful Tuesday, Bonnie!

  11. Pam and Butch, I always love seeing your garden-it is magnificent! Your table setting is beautiful as well, especially with your Hydrangeas. I have three plants, but none have bloomed yet-I can’t wait. My Peonies just finished and I miss them already. Thanks for sharing the beauty of your world.
    Hugs,

    Relaxing images of such a beautiful garden. The picture of the table overlooking the fountain is simply beautiful, it has improved all its surroundings and the hydrangeas are spectacular.
    A pleasure to be in your garden.

    • Dolores, nuestro jardΓ­n estΓ‘ creciendo, estamos recibiendo algo de lluvia y los temporales no se han disparado, todavΓ­a! Muchas gracias por sus maravillosas visitas a travΓ©s del ancho ocΓ©ano!

      Dolores, our garden is growing, we are getting some rain and the temps have not soared, yet! Thanks so much for your wonderful visits across the wide ocean!

  13. A collection of garden flowers makes the perfect center attraction! Everything is so pretty – from your table to beyond. And, you are right. We must enjoy the outdoors now. Soon we won’t be able to stand the heat. Happy Tuesday! πŸ™‚

  22. Pam, Love your table. Never tire of hydrangeas. The mosquitoes are really bad here! I generally wear long sleeves and pants when going outside but they found the holes in my sandals. While taking photos they take advantage of my being still to feast. I love to had the windows open and I hear the birds outside. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Sylvia D.

  25. Pam, how could we ever tire of such gorgeous flowers? Your entire table is stunning!! My Limelights don’t bloom until the end of summer towards fall. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

  27. Just beautiful Pam! I can’t think of a better way to welcome summer! We’re cooling off some next week and the humidity is dropping too, and I’m looking forward to some alfresco dining.

  29. What a beautiful tablescape. I love the various flowers in the individual vases, collected in the glass tray. It all creates a very pretty centerpiece. The view of your garden beyond is jaw-dropping! What a lovely place to sit and enjoy a meal. Just gorgeous!
