July’s Garden + A Winner

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Summer

Hello dear friends. I decided it was time to share a garden post with you all!

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭

So far, we have had a very wet summer and our rainfall is way above normal. The temperatures have been below normal, but with the rain comes high humidity. Grab your insect repellent and join me in July’s garden.

Be sure to read to the end of the post to find out the winner of the beautiful book, Hydrangeas!

If the rain continues I might have to rename the Sunshine Cottage!READ MORE

“He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth— the Lord God Almighty is his name.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭

 

Hoping your Sunday and your week is off to a great start. Crepe (or Crape) Myrtle in full bloom is a true sign of summer in our part of the world. We enjoy driving by this church courtyard every year about this time.READ MORE

Patriotic Tables: In Celebration Of The Stars & Stripes

~ Everyday Living, Faith, July 4, Summer

Happy Thursday sweet friends. I hope your first week of summer is going well. Yesterday, we had beautiful sunny skies and a low temperature of fifty-seven degrees. That is extremely rare in June for the Deep South!

“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭

Some of my favorite tablescapes are the red, white, and blue ones. As we celebrate Independence Day a week from this Sunday, I rounded up a few of my patriotic tablesettings. I hope you will be inspired to set your own table to celebrate the Fourth of July!
