July’s Garden Views

Happy Thursday, I hope you are having a good week! Ours has been rainy with overcast days, lower temperatures, but high humidity! We are not complaining, at least, not yet!

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

A Sunflower Parade

~ Appalachian Foothills, Flowers, Gardening, Outdoors, Summer

Hello sweet friends and Happy Tuesday! The heat and humidity continue in our Appalachian Foothills, but it is expected because it’s just summer in the South!

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Pour yourself a glass of iced tea and join me for a sunflower parade!

Anticipation builds as I look forward to the sunflower parade each year! I love capturing images of their large, happy, and sunny faces. Once they begin blooming I take a few photos almost every day.READ MORE
