Red White & Blue For Memorial Day

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms, Spring

Hello sweet friends. The weather was absolutely gorgeous this past weekend and we enjoyed working in the garden and just being outdoors. How was your weekend? I hope it was wonderful as well!

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.””
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭91:1-2‬

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my lovely friends Lidy, Mary, and Shirley. We are honored to welcome a special guest today.

We will celebrate Memorial Day on Monday, May 31st. Most of us consider it the beginning of summer. We plan outdoor barbecues, picnics by the lake, beach trips, and parades. It is important to remember the true meaning of the holiday. It is a day dedicated to honor the fallen soldiers, those that never came home, that fought and paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

You will find the links for my talented friends at the end of this post.

Our special guest is one of the sweetest bloggers, Shannon from Belle Bleu Interiors. She has a gorgeous home decorated in her signature French country style, a personal favorite of mine. Shannon shares her love for all things home with her readers.READ MORE

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Spring

Hello sweet friends. I hope you are having a wonderful week. Thanks to all who checked on us Tuesday.  Fortunately we had no damage. I don’t know when I have seen so much rain fall in a day’s time. Our neighbor has a rain gauge that indicated we had 4 1/2 inches over the period. Many in Alabama had storm damage and flooding, please keep them in your prayers. Spring in Alabama seems to bring on the violent weather, it is always frightening. We are so glad that our son’s new home has a safe room. That is where I will be when there are tornado warnings.

“Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭

Let’s take a little “walk about” to see what is going on in the garden!

I took this photo on an angle looking toward the back left corner of the garden. We have tried many different annuals between the soft touch hollies, we went back to vinca this year. The newest garden ornament (frog) was purchased for EM and EK, but I wasn’t the purchaser. I am sure you can guess who was!READ MORE
