Happy Thursday sweet friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. It has been a while since I shared a this and that post. I never plan these posts, they come about from my random photos and truly just our everyday living. The months of January and February were relatively quiet.

  Our sleeping garden looks bare! My Renaissance Man (aka Butch) cut it all back in late winter!

  Hopefully it will look lush and vibrant once again this spring and summer!READ MORE

Slightly Summer, Slightly Fall

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Summer, Tablescape Tuesday

“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands…
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49:16‬a

Happy Wednesday dear friends! I am a day late posting Tablescape Tuesday, it seems that there are more things to do than there is time these days. Last Saturday it reached 97 degrees with stiff winds all afternoon. I had planned a table in the garden, but the winds were going to be an issue. I moved to our little picnic area that is more protected and very shaded. With autumn on my mind and the summer heat bearing down, this tablesetting became slightly summer and slightly fall.
My thoughts and prayers continue for all who are experiencing the heart wrenching effects of Florence.

We are enjoying this little picnic area away from the garden. We just had a large pine tree removed and are considering making a small shaded garden. This area borders a densely wooded area where our large deer population likes to hang out. If we do decide on a small garden, we will have to use deer-resistant plants for sure.

My zinnias are still blooming, so they are definitely the summer on the table with a little lantana mixed in!READ MORE
