Celebrating The Red, White, & Blue – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Monday Morning Blooms, Uncategorized

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends! With the arrival of summer this week, I know that Independence Day is just around the corner. Have you made your plans? We will follow the long-standing tradition of celebrating the 4th of July at home with our family. My Renaissance Man will be the grill master serving up burgers and hot dogs. I will prepare all of the side dishes…baked beans, potato salad, and corn on the cob! Of course, the table will be decorated with all of the red, white, and blue for a patriotic celebration.

Being it is the third Monday of the month, I am joining my talented friends to bring you a 4th of July edition of Monday Morning Blooms!

Picnics and 4th of July go together like apple pie and ice cream! I set up my picnic table in honor of the red, white, and blue! A large pasta jar holds an arrangement of blue hydrangeas, white Annabelle’s, and a few red mini carnations. Last week I visited my friend’s hydrangea farm and brought home armloads of big, beautiful blooms. Be watching for an upcoming blog post on her amazing farm!

Shirley, Mary, and Lidy have created beautiful 4th of July floral inspiration and their links are at the bottom of this post.

“Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭30:5‬ 

Hello lovely friends, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! It is the third Monday of the month which always means Monday Morning Blooms with my flower loving friends. We are missing Lidy today, but she will be back the first Monday of June. With the pleasant weather, please join me in the garden for blue & white…my garden’s delight!

Our common theme for this edition of Monday Morning Blooms is blue and white transferware with a hint of red. With the backdrop of the green garden, blue and white has a clean and crisp look that is always timeless!

The week after Mother’s Day proved to be rather difficult in locating flowers locally. My oak leaf hydrangea is in full bloom, so it was a natural choice for the arrangement. I added yellow and red alstroemeria with yellow pom poms for a loose arrangement, rather than compactly arranged.
