The Rest Of The Best Of 2018

~ Floral Friday, Gardening, Outdoors, Travel

“You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:13‬ ‭

Happy Thursday sweet friends! I hope your week has been going well so far. It continues to rain in my neck of the woods. It seems that we can’t get more than one day of sunshine before the skies open up with more rain! I have been organizing and cleaning after putting away all of the Christmas and spending a lot of time reading which is one of my favorite pleasures. Butch went back to work yesterday, so life is getting back to my usual routine. But my little princess won’t be back to stay with me until Monday when her mommy has to go back to teaching. And like a lot of folks, yesterday also began a healthier eating plan for us. Normally we try to eat healthy, but the holidays filled with sweets and carb overload wrecked our usual way of eating!  We are ready for a little more discipline in that area!  How about you, is healthier eating a part of your January plan?

Today, I am sharing the remainder of our top ten most viewed posts. On Tuesday, I shared our top five tablescapes which are all included in our top ten. At the bottom of this post you will see the complete list of all of them! Grab a cuppa and join me!

We have loved sharing our travels with you, but this past year we didn’t travel as much as past years. However, An Anniversary Getaway made our top ten!

Take Away Flowers – Floral Friday

~ Floral Friday

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:4‬ ‭

Happy Friday dear friends! It is the third Friday of the month which means it is Floral Friday. We have some exciting news to share with you all so be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post. I am always a little sad when the Autumn/Thanksgiving season comes to an end, it is my favorite. But of course, I do love “the most wonderful time of the year!” Today, I will savor the spirit of Thanksgiving as I share one more post before the decking of the halls begin. 

 Is there anything more special than to sit down to a table where you have your own personal floral arrangement that is yours to take home?  Our common theme for this edition of Floral Friday is flowers in individual settings.

A Time Of Harvest – Floral Friday

~ Autumn, Floral Friday

 “with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:2-3‬

Hello dear friends! Can you believe we are already in November, it seems impossible. I am so glad you are here because it is the first Friday of the month which means I am joining my blogging friends for another edition of Floral Friday! If you are here by way of Shirley, Mary, or Lidy, welcome to Everyday Living. I hope you have time to stay and visit as we celebrate a time of harvest.

  Our common theme for today is harvest. What do you think of when you hear that word? I immediately think of the time of the year when you gather crops that are mature or ripe. I think about my grandparents who planted and harvested everything by hand. They depended on the harvest to feed their eight children through the long winter months. I also think of the laws of the harvest that are found in scripture, “you will reap what you sow.” Harvest always reveals what we have sown, whether naturally or spiritually. The celebration of harvest is a time to thank God for His blessings and His bountiful provisions.

My photo reminds me of a still life painting that I have hanging in a hallway.
