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!

Spring Flowers In The Garden

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Outdoors, Spring

 
 

“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17:22‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends. I love the above scripture…a joyful or cheerful heart is like a good medicine. A cheerful or joyful heart doesn’t mean that everything is perfect in our lives. In fact, we can often find ourselves in very difficult circumstances. Like medication is helpful for the body when we are sick, a grateful heart filled with the spirit is medicine for the soul.

It is the third Monday of the month which means Lidy, Mary, Shirley, and I are bringing you floral inspiration and Monday Morning Blooms! Our theme of late and today is “anything goes” since flowers can be hard to find during our current situation.

 

A small tea table was set in the garden…

…but it is really about these gorgeous blooms!

My Mother-A Life Well Lived: Monday Morning Blooms

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:28‬

Hello sweet friends! Can it possibly be the month of May? I always heard my Mother say as you get older time flies, well I guess I am there! Being that it is the first Monday of the month, it is Monday Morning Blooms and a most special one…our Mother’s Day edition!

“A Mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go”
-Unknown

 

With our state still encouraging sheltering at home and only partially opened, finding flowers is a challenge. The flower farm nearby is between blooms, and only had poppies. I just so happen to love poppies and had never used them for Monday Morning Blooms.

All of my earlier spring blooms are gone, but wildflowers are plentiful this time of year. Renaissance Man cut honeysuckle and privet…but, no it wasn’t the look I was going for. Poppies are a little like tulips, they have a mind of their own. Adding hosta leaves seemed to be the perfect foil for the cheerful poppies.
