July Is Blooming

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

“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!

Hydrangeas In A Box

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭

Happy June sweet friends. Not only is it the first day of a new month, it is the first Monday of the month and that means Monday Morning Blooms. In our troubled and disturbing times, hopefully Shirley, Lidy, Mary, and I can brighten your day with flowers!

“It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside.”
-Maud Hart Lovelace

I would have a hard time choosing a favorite flower, but hydrangeas would be in my top three!

There are so many varieties to choose and I have never met one that I didn’t love!
