Blue & White: My Garden’s Delight – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Monday Morning Blooms

“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!

You will find Shirley’s and Mary’s beautiful floral links at the bottom of this post.

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.

Monday Morning Blooms – Precious Memories

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

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

Happy Monday sweet friends! Today is a special Monday Morning Blooms as it is our Mother’s Day edition. If you have been following my blog for very long, you know that I often share memories of my beloved mother.

I am blessed to have had a Godly mother who poured her life into me. I was overjoyed to become a mother after thirteen years of marriage and more joy flowed when I became a grandmother!

My mother loved fresh flowers and I so enjoyed taking her a fresh bouquet often. Blush and lavender roses, peony tulips, stock, and honeysuckle fill an ironstone pitcher and grace a table set in her memory.

An Easter Afternoon In The Country – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Easter, Monday Morning Blooms

“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬

Happy Monday dear friends! It is a great start for the week because it is the third Monday of the month and that means I am joining my creative friends to bring you the Easter edition of Monday Morning Blooms!

Easter has always been very special to me – starting when I was a little girl.  My mother always made sure I had a new outfit and we would start our day at the sunrise service, complete with family lunch. The lunch tradition lives on as we gather at our house in the early afternoon for good food and an egg hunt! All of these events are fun and bring back wonderful memories, but the meaning of this day is what gives us life. Jesus Christ defeated death and the grave forever!  What a reason to celebrate!

After our Easter lunch of traditional Southern food, we will be outside for an Easter egg hunt with our granddaughter. I set up refreshments on the picnic table with a spring bouquet of flowers for us to relax and enjoy the fun through the eyes of our almost three year old Ella Mae. Baby Emma will probably sleep through the fun!
