Hello Friends!
How was your week? Here we are on Tuesday again.
Savoring Summer
Last week, as I was sweeping the garage, I paused to marvel at the lush greenery that had emerged in the yard and gardens. It’s good to take notice of the small pleasures that surround us. After taking a moment to appreciate the vibrant greenery, I saw the rhododendron petals resembling sprinkles of pink snow on the ground. Their beauty and dewdrops made me grateful for the opportunity to pause and admire the small wonders around me. I’m trying to do more of that. Sweet Man and I are a busy couple, so I’m consciously trying to slow down and be more present, even for a little while. Summer is worth savoring, folks!

Weather
We have had a mix of rain and sun, and the flowers and plants love it, as do I! I stroll through the yard every morning to appreciate the beauty of nature and the blessings God has given us.

More Flowers Appearing
Our Irises had only one bloom three years ago and didn’t bloom at all the last few years. We have several flowers this early summer, and I am thrilled!
I was delighted when the poppy finally bloomed. This is my very first poppy!
Another first is that we had two Alliums bloom this year!
The pink ladies or evening primroses have blossomed. I love them until they start to take over the garden. The pink color in the garden is refreshing right now.
Strawberries
Sweet Man brought home fresh strawberries the other day. They were incredibly sweet.
We did not harvest the rhubarb so perhaps this upcoming week!
Baby Shower
On another note, we got to celebrate the Mother and Father-to-be! Seeing so many come out to show their love for them and the baby boy to come was incredible. I was overcome with emotion at the shower. My son and his wife are having a baby! This GG can’t wait! This was the first shower, and we will have another shower here at the Lake in a few weeks. 💙
Thank you!
That’s all I have for you this week!
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.
