~ Floral Friday, Gardening, Summer

 “Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:24‬ ‭

Happy Friday sweet friends. This is the first Friday of the month which means Floral Friday with my blogging friends Shirley, Lidy, and Mary. I invite you to have a seat with a cuppa coffee or tea and join me out in the garden as I am celebrating sunflowers! There might also be fixin’s for a favorite summertime sandwich!

“Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭

Hello my friends…can you believe that today is the last day of July?!  School starts next week, which means I will be keeping my precious Ella Mae three days a week.  I love the time that I get to spend with her!

You all know how much I love setting a table in the garden, and this past weekend the lower humidity made being outside much more pleasant.  It was nice Sunday evening with a light breeze blowing, perfect for setting a table in the garden.  Before we know it, autumn will be here…and with the season’s change, come the change of colors.  Soon we will see hues of rust, gold, and burgundy, but for now I am still loving the colors of summer!
