Sweet Bouquets – Floral Friday

~ Floral Friday, Spring

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:30‬ ‭

Warm…and yes, I do mean WARM greetings sweet friends! Here in our Appalachian Foothills, it has already jumped up to the mid 80’s! But, no complaints here…I am enjoying time in my garden. The month of May always seems to be a busy time with all the holidays, graduations, bridal showers, etc! But the occasion that I find the most special is Mother’s Day! I hope all of you feel loved and celebrated as the holiday fast approaches…and I hope you enjoy the sweet bouquets I have put together for the occasion!

Sweet Bouquets - Floral Friday - Everyday Living My Mother loved flowers…growing and receiving them. Her table often had roses from her small garden space. She definitely had a green thumb, just like her mother!

Today is the first Friday of the month which means Floral Friday. I am joining my three very talented blogging friends for flower inspiration just in time for Mother’s Day!

Tablescape Tuesday: Dessert In The Garden

~ Food & Entertaining, Gardening, Spring, Tablescape Tuesday

“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94:19‬ ‭

Happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start!  We had the most gorgeous weather over the weekend…bright blue sunny skies with the highs in the mid seventies!  Butch and I spent all day Saturday in the garden, weeding and planting!  I thought I wouldn’t be able to move on Sunday, but I was barely sore.  After all of the hard work, I thought it would be nice to sit and relax, so I set a small table for us to enjoy dessert in the garden!
