Bee-cauzzz Of Flowers

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Hello dear friends! Welcome to Monday Morning Blooms with my friends, Lidy, Mary, and Shirley!

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭119:103‬ ‭

Our garden is buzzing with our chosen theme…BEES!

Bees are here because of the flowers. Flowers are here because of the bees.

Pardon me for sounding like a broken record, but we continue to have so much rain. I know many of you wish I could send some of it your way. You can imagine my excitement when we had a day last week that was sunny! I knew it might be my only chance to set a table in the garden. After all, the garden is the perfect place to celebrate our pollinator friends, the bees!

“We love because he first loved us.”

When you slide your mouse hurriedly across the screen in a mad rush to get something completed for a blog post, it is a good idea to remember 2 things…don’t pass over the block labeled “Publish” and don’t do so with too much pressure on the track pad. The result can be publishing your material before you are finished and before your final edits. When this happens your Sunday post may become a Saturday Post!


One reason to be slightly distracted and in a bit of a hurry yesterday can be seen here. I had other things pressing that needed my attention and this was just one of several blogging breaks we took! So, I think it will be alright, especially since the post was about 90% complete.

But in case you somehow missed it, click here.

Have a great day!

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 350

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Family, Simple + Southern Sunday

The Dog Days of Summer are here and with that a lot of tales and folklore. I heard so many stories about dog days when I was growing up, and read some new ones even recently. Maybe some of those bear some truth but the real reason for the name comes from the constellation Canis Major or The Greater Dog. Our brightest star, Sirius, is within the constellation and is called the Dog Star. Its first appearance in the summer at dawn, coinciding with the sunrise, brings on those famous dog days. I understand that the period is 40 days long; 20 days before this occurrence, and 20 days after. The Farmers Almanac says the dog days of summer in the U S are from July 3 through August 11. And maybe things really don’t heal as quickly during dog days??? 

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭8:3-4‬ ‭

It was a lazy, hazy, dog day of summer on Friday but the view of Weiss Lake from Cherokee Rock Village was still enjoyable. It is even more interesting when you have an awareness of many of the landmarks in the valley and can pick those out. READ MORE
