“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, I hope you had a most enjoyable weekend. Mine was a little toasty with 100 degree temperatures in our Appalachian Foothills! Aren’t we thankful for air conditioning?
It is the third Monday of the month which means Monday Morning Blooms with my inspiring and flower loving friends. Our most talented leader, Shirley is not with us today. Her schedule is hectic and she is busy with decision making for her new home. She is an amazing talent, so we are all eagerly awaiting for her house to be completed and to take the grand tour. Shirley will be back soon to share her floral love with us.

I love this little area of trees with the split rail fence that My Renaissance Man built. The Rose of Sharon trees provide lovely lavender blooms as a backdrop for my late summer flowers.
The links for my sweet friends, Lidy and Mary, are at the bottom of this post!
You remember my lovely friend and her amazing hydrangea farm…she just happens to have a cousin that has a flower farm. She grows so many gorgeous blooms like dahlias, sunflowers, and gomphrena that are included in my arrangement. Are you familiar with gomphrena? It is the clover lookalike with bachelor button flowers that thrives in heat and poor soil. It is perfect for a cutting garden and I shall be planting it next year. From my garden, I cut limelights, zinnias, and “lavender perfection” dahlias for a bouquet of late summer flowers!!READ MORE
