Flowers, Weeds, and Boats Oh My!
We are back at our Summer Home. Ever since our return, I’ve been weeding the gardens and have successfully managed to get them under control. I’ve been busy shopping for flower pots and only need one or two more. I’ve already planted zinnias and lettuce, and I’m even going to try growing sunflowers. I’ve taken precautions to protect the zinnias and lettuce from Momma rabbit with chicken wire and cages. Here’s hoping it keeps her hungry nibbles away!
The spring flowers in May are always a delight to see in our gardens. The Columbine pop up wherever they please. They always make me smile!
Stars of Bethlehem planted by my Mom 50+ years ago are such a joy.
Oh, and let’s not forget the Forget Me Nots!
The Rhodies are showing off!
Bouquets
Making Bouquets from our garden flowers is always on my to-do list.
The Boat is In!
We are happy to say that we started Boat Season earlier than we ever have!
Getting the boat in makes it possible for us to see sunsets like this!
Thank You!
That’s all I have for you this week. Its been busy ever since we got back. I am eagerly anticipating for the Summer Slow Down to kick in soon!
I know that I am behind, but I’m doing my best to catch up with all of you. Thanks for being patient with me.
As I always try to convey… we sure do appreciate all of you. Thank you for joining us for another Tuesday Tidbits.
We are wishing all of you a wonderful week ahead. Enjoy what this upcoming week brings to you. And whatever you have planned… make every day count and be thankful for your Blessings.
Welcome back to this side of the country, Nance! Enjoy the east side sights, sounds and smells, my friends!
Thank you Mr. Mark!
Good morning, Nancy. I am so glad you made it safely to the lake house. Oh my the columbine, stars of Bethlehem, forget me nots, and the rhodies are stunning. It is so amazing that your mom’s garden is still thriving. The bouquets are beautiful. I know being at the lake is so special. Enjoy every moment and I think you will! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you, sweet Pam. We will be enjoying ourselves once our to-do lists get smaller. Which I think is going to happen this week! Happy Tuesday!
So many beautiful flowers Nancy! You have been a busy gal since you got back to the lake! I love that vase that looks like a musical instrument, beautiful!! How nice to take a sunset cruise~ I know you are enjoying every moment, Happy Summer!

We are enjoying every moment!
Thank you Jenna!
Some of my favorite flowers too! Love columbine, and, well, everything else!
What’s not to love? Right?
Happy Tuesday!
It’s all magic!
Beautiful flowers. Such a nice variety. And a bumblebee to boot.
Bumble bees love Rhodies. They are so easy to photograph!
Thanks for the visit, my friend!
Yay to your beautiful rhodies…super sunsets and all the joy that your garden brings. Thanks, Nancy! 🥰
I am so glad you enjoyed dear Victoria! I love flowers!

You too! ☀️
Welcome back to the lake house. Your flowers look beautiful. Happy Tuesday. 🥂
Thank you Ingrid! Its good to be back!
Good morning, Nancy! All of your blooms are so pretty! I planted my zinnia seeds a couple of weeks ago. Finger crossed they do well. I can’t wait to see your sunflowers. I don’t have enough sun in my yard to grow them. We are mostly shade. The arrangements you created from your gardens are beautiful! Wishing you a wonderful week, sweet friend!
Thank you, sweet Shannon. I, too, have a lot of shade, but I think I can clear out an area and then plant the sunflowers! Fingers crossed!
Thanks so much for stopping in. Enjoy your Tuesday!
It looks fabulous, Nancy. You remind me, I need to get zinnia seeds in pronto!
Yes, you do! Happy Tuesday Jeannie!
so many pretty flowers Nancy…I LOVE zinnias but have dificulty growing them here in Florida. I’ve tried pots and in ground but the sun is perhaps too hot for them. thank you for sharing the beautiful sunset. Happy Summer.
Thank you, Kari! We enjoy all the flowers!
Thank you for stopping in! Happy Tuesday!
Nancy, your garden is looking great! I love all your beautiful flower photos. Happy Summer!
Thanks so much Beth! I am glad to still have my Mother’s flowers all around me!
What a beautiful garden, Nancy! Weeding it and making bouquets will keep you busy. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Thank you Terri. We have been so busy since we got back. But the bouquets make it all worth it.
Have a nice weekend!
I’m glad you arrived safely. I love your flowers and your sunsets. Including them in your posts probably makes you appreciate them all the more! Enjoy your summer!
It sure does!
I am so happy to still be surrounded by my Mother’s flowers and God’s paintbrush!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Enjoy your little bit of coloful paradise this weekend!
Thank you so much Bernadette!
Welcome back to the east coast. You brought the heat with you. It’s a real feel of 97 here this afternoon, and I don’t have a boat. 🥵 Enjoy the long weekend.
Yikes! Stay cool!
Welcome back east, Nancy. I know you’ve been busy in the gardens. We’ve had wonderful rains! Gorgeous flowers!
Thanks so much! It’s good to be back. 🥰
What a beautiful world! Thanks for sharing these lovely snippets of color!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
What a wonderful way to be welcomed home than to be greeted by your beautiful flowers in bloom.
Indeed! Thank you, Karen.
Beautiful flowers. I can’t believe your zinnias are out already. They are gorgeous. Our weather has finally warmed up in Prescott and seems like lovely spring days. Roses are in full bloom now. 🙂 Have a wonderful Memorial Day, and blessings on any people in your family who served in the military. 🙂 xxx
I swear you just left there, time sure flies. I always look forward to seeing all your beautiful flowers Nancy!
So beautiful, enjoy your time on the eastern front of the USA!
Thank you! We shall!
