My wonderful friend, Cindy, gave her talents for the florals.  All of the flowers came from Trader Joe’s!

Congratulations to Mary & Daniel!

Happy Monday! My oak leaf hydrangea are really sho Happy Monday!
My oak leaf hydrangea are really showing out this year.  I have always loved hydrangea, but I truly think these are my favorite. They rarely droop in the hot Georgia afternoons like the traditional mopheads and have those gorgeous blooms.
Love them!

I read an article from @southernlivingmag that sai I read an article from @southernlivingmag that said you should keep your Christmas tree(s) up until January 6th if you go by the 12 days of Christmas.
January 6th is known as Epiphany and is celebrated as the day the Three Wise Men came to visit Jesus. 

Just another wonderful reason to keep my trees up a little longer! 
(BTW…I didn’t post the 9 other trees in my home…maybe next year!)

I really love this sign. It isn’t perfect, but I remember how happy I was when I made it and how happy I am every time I see it!

Several years ago, our wooden shutters started rot Several years ago, our wooden shutters started rotting and were literally falling off of our house.
I started researching shutters and the cost….yipes!  Then, I began saving money to buy them (and dreaming of my house being whole again). 
So…I finally had the money saved in early 2021.  I placed my custom order from a wonderful company, Exterior Solutions.  The shutters were delivered in June…and there they sat on a pallet under my carport. And sat.  I honestly was just too busy to even try to find someone to install them. 
Last week, my husband made arrangements for them to be installed—oh, happy day!
What a difference!
Now, to start on updating the landscaping!  To be continued…

Your cool, crisp mornings.  The bright flames of colors showing in the tree tops.  Apple cinnamon everything. 

Such a beautiful day and a day that reminds of me of all I have to be thankful for!
