Tablescape Tuesday: A Colorful Table

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Outdoors, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:1‬

Hello dear readers! I have finally recovered from our 17+ hours and almost 1,000 mile drive from Fredericksburg, TX to “sweet home Alabama.” We had reservations to stop and spend the night, but we decided to keep trucking. I love vacations, but I can’t wait to get back home. I will be posting about our road trip on Thursday.

You all know how much I love color, so today’s tablescape sings of bright happy colors…yellow, red, and blue! The heat and humidity have returned, so I know you are thankful to view from your air-conditioned space.

It was so much fun to set up this colorful table. My inspiration was this tablecloth that has been in my linen closet for a long time…

…I simply pulled colors from the cloth for salad plates, glassware, and napkins!READ MORE

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:1-2‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! We returned late Friday night from a week in Texas. The first couple of days were in Austin where Butch had business. The remainder of the week was for pleasure in the Texas Hill Country, with the majority of our time spent in Fredericksburg! While we were in Texas, our son, daughter-in-love, and two granddaughters were at the beach. The first ten pics are from Texas, the last three are at the beach. Hope you enjoy our week in photos!

This church on Main Street in Fredericksburg, TX was built on a native limestone foundation and dates to 1887.

A Visit With Zinnias

“The earth is the Lord ‘s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭24:1-2‬ ‭

Happy Thursday dear friends! Today I am celebrating a favorite summer flower…zinnias.  They provide so many colorful blooms from a little packet of seed.

Zinnias are easy to grow…

…and butterflies love them!READ MORE
