Hello sweet friends, I hope you all enjoyed a nice weekend! Summer is in full swing in our Appalachian Foothills with heat and humidity. It is the third Monday of the month which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms. Welcome to the garden where I am serving iced tea with a sprig of chocolate mint for your comfort!

With three limelights, five vanilla strawberries, and two little lambs, they are putting on their best show now!
You will find the links for beautiful floral inspiration from Lidy, Mary, and Shirley at the bottom of this post.READ MORE
