“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Psalm 16:11
It is good to be blessed with a new day and a new week. Happy Sunday!
Things are moving slow this year in the garden but warmer days ahead should bring on new growth. We have not been in a rush to set plants or sew seeds. Spring weather has been a little “iffy” here in Alabama. How about your location?READ MORE
Hello dear readers! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. We worked in the garden all day Saturday and with perfect weather were able to complete several projects. Finally, we have a beginning plan for our English cottage garden!

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley. We are excited to welcome a guest blogger who also loves gardening and flowers. Bonnie is a fellow Alabamian and we became friends when I started blogging and she so graciously reached out to me. She is a true Southern lady with her genteel spirit and sweet personality. Bonnie blogs at Living With Thanksgiving and we welcome her to Monday Morning Blooms!
Join me in the Sunshine Cottage for dancing poppies!
I think poppies are one of the happiest flowers, and their colors are stunning!
You can find my talented friends’ links at the bottom of this post!
If you don’t know Bonnie, now is the perfect time to see her love for flowers and how she artfully arranges them!READ MORE
