Heavenly Hydrangeas

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Food & Entertaining, Monday Morning Blooms, Outdoors

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:5‬ ‭

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!

“I’m glad it’s finally hot enough to complain about how hot it is.”
-Unknown

It appears that it was a nice pleasant early evening in the garden with a gentle breeze…

…not as it appears! I braved a heat index of 101 at 6:30 p.m. in order to set a garden table. Why, you might ask? It is limelight/vanilla strawberry hydrangea season and I wanted to show you their beauty. With three limelights, five vanilla strawberries, and two little lambs, they are putting on their best show now!

July Is Blooming

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

 

Hello sweet readers! I hope everyone has enjoyed the 4th of July weekend. I am afraid I might have overindulged with the home-made ice cream. I know that none of you would be guilty of eating too much?!

 

I am so glad that you have chosen to spend a little time with me. It is the first Monday of the month and that means Monday Morning Blooms with my talented friends!

 

“Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing
The promise of another sunny day
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine
I do believe that summer’s here to stay.”

-John Denver

July is blooming in my garden…

…and on my tabletop!

Tea & Hydrangeas

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Monday Morning Blooms

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91:1-2‬ ‭

Hello sweet readers! Can you believe that summer will officially begin this Saturday? Summer arrived a little early in our Appalachian Foothills with temps already in the 90’s!

It is the third Monday of the month and I am joining my talented friends for Monday Morning Blooms. You are invited to join me in the garden for tea and hydrangeas!

“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.”
-May Sarton

 

Welcome to the garden, my little happy place! I have set a small tea table for two with beautiful hydrangeas for a little simple pleasure.

A cup of Earl Grey tea and a macaron…perfect late afternoon pick-me-up!
