Our July Garden

~ Everyday Living, Gardening, Outdoors, Summer

 “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:11‬

Greetings dear friends from the very warm Appalachian Foothills! It is definitely summer in the South which means the sound of cicadas, tree frogs, and crickets along with glowing fireflies, ice-cold watermelon, and pitchers of sweet tea! These are just a few of the sights, sounds, and tastes that grace our senses this time of year.
With the hot days of July and ample rain, our garden is showing out. Just a reminder, there will be lots of garden inspiration to enjoy at Gardens Galore on Monday, July 16, beginning at 7 a.m. central time. 

Grab you hat and take a stroll with me in our July garden!

  I love early mornings in the garden especially when it is cloudy.

 “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:13‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday lovely friends! I hope your week is off to a good start. Our humidity is down a little which makes being outside more enjoyable, especially since I need to weed in the garden. As a reminder, I will be hosting Gardens Galore next Monday, July 16. 

I love Tablescaping in the garden when there is so much in bloom. Please pull up a chair and pour yourself a glass of iced tea and join me for a table dressed in simplicity!

  If you love simplicity, then this table is for you.

  The muted floral tablecloth was a TJ Maxx find in early spring.READ MORE
