Happy Monday sweet friends. It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley!

Often life’s pleasures and blessings are to be found in the simple beauty of things that surround me in everyday living. I so love October, and it was very pleasing (in spite of a bit of work) to bring together my fall favorites, pumpkins and flowers…and what better place than in the garden! I hope you will find relaxing pleasure as you join me for pumpkins and petals! 

“With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:10‬

“I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.”
~Henry David Thoreau

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:28‬ ‭

Tomorrow is the first day of my favorite month! I am celebrating October in the Sunshine Cottage and I am excited that you are joining me.

Y’all come on in. You might be wondering what is hanging from the chandelier. Ella Mae was supposed to help me decorate, but she is a busy girl. With K-5, ballet, and birthday parties with her friends, she couldn’t work me into her schedule. I knew both of our girls would love the fun hanging fall decor from the chandelier. When they walked in, their eyes lit up! “PJ, what is this?”READ MORE
