A Garden Table To Welcome Summer

~ Blog hop, Floral Arrangements, Tablescapes

Welcome sweet friends. After a cooler than normal late spring, it felt like summer had arrived last week in our Appalachian Foothills with temps in the 90’s and high humidity. Summer will officially begin Friday, June 20th!

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

I am excited to join sixteen table stylists for a Summer Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my friend, Rita at Panoply. You will find all of the links for creative tablescapes at the bottom of this post.

Setting a table in the garden is the ideal spot to welcome summer!READ MORE

“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I was able to catch a bit of sun, and felt only a light breeze on Thursday, so I took the drone up with the intention of flying around the fields and maybe to the river. The wind was actually much stronger than anticipated so a short flight over part of the garden was a better choice. We are a few days away from plants like zinnias, limelight hydrangeas, and marigolds springing to life with their colors, so things look a little drab to me from overhead. I would say the sunflowers are more than a few days away from showing their yellow faces! READ MORE

Welcome friends, Happy Monday and the second day of June! Did your month of May pass as quickly as mine?

“And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

May was extremely wet with little sunshine in our Appalachian Foothills. I was excited to see the sun this past weekend, it always makes me happy!READ MORE
