Follow Friday #32 : Sweet, Sweet Summer

Happy Fri-Yay! I'm glad you stopped in to visit me today! Hope you all are enjoying the sweet last weeks of Summer!! Where has the month gone? I just realized it is the middle of August already!! It's been a busy week over here! Fridays are my favorite day of the week, because I can look back at the week, and say, we've come along way baby! On Monday, I had the sweetest call from my daughter in Washington. The rest of the week has been a blur of baking and painting!  It's looking like next weekend will be better for us to go up North! I'm going to finish up the hubby and me project! Before starting something new, look for an upcoming Fall project, featuring my favorite Mason jars!

Here are a couple of Favorite Things, I saw to start the weekend off Right!! I adore Lilies, and how charming is this coastal seashell basket, against the turquoise chippy door! Beautiful!

For Follow Fridays from now on, I will be featuring 4 different blogs, one cooking/baking, one gardening, one décor/style, and one crafting

I know I promised I wasn't going to talk about how HOT it still is, but it was 113F today y'all,
and I seriously felt like I was melting!!
Think one of these recipes is getting made tomorrow!!

A Summer Trio from Peonies and Posies

Every post is an enjoyable display of vibrant blossoms and blooms! On Monday's she posts a meme, what she is arranging in a vase, and she also offers some very resourceful gardening advice.

Fall tablescape from Lilacs and Longhorns

There is nothing I love more than a pop of color, and again I apologize for wishing it was Fall already, but I just couldn't help myself, those lil' white mini pumpkins are just too cute! I absolutely love the chalkboard and the gallery of plates, the large buffalo check chairs, with the pops of orange and blue colors. It simply feels like Fall!

DIY Chalkboard Dipped Planters via Lemon-Thistle

When the temperature starts to cool down more, I am going to be out, painting pots and planting my garden here at the new house. It was too hot when we moved in for me to really do anything. When I saw this DIY, for me it was perfect! I had a black thumb for so long, that is until my Lil' Lindsay started helping me in the garden, to help me remind me not to kill the plants!

A Week in CASL photos July 13th- July 19th

Happy Beautiful Monday! Hope you all had a relaxing weekend!

What I like about doing a Photo365, is that I get to share with you a peek into what my week has been like, and possibly a sneak peek to what next week will bring. I've tried 365 Photo or Daily photo memes several times before, and surprisingly, I am getting farther posting my photos once a week, instead of once a day. It makes a big difference, and it's really nice to look back and see a slice of my day!

July 14th- Chaos- I waited for this storm all week, and while Chandler to the North and 15 miles South of us, enjoyed all the rain, I only saw about less than 10 minutes worth...But I did enjoy the 20 degree drop in temperature, even 90F with a cool breeze felt comfortable!

July 14th- Calm- I was hoping to take a pic of my lavender plant, but it died while I was out of town for the long holiday weekend, so I am sharing this picture of 'Lavender at Dawn'!
 It's a perfectly calm dawn for a Monday morning!

July 15th- On my mind...Ice Cream...Yesterday, was #NationalIceCreamDay!
 Here's my favorite flavor this Summer...Peach Cobbler IceCream

July 16th- Special to Me...This gorgeous bottle, is a gift from my SIL...she knows how much I love

Seahorses. 

July 17th- Starts with T... A cup of 'Tea' of course!

July 18th- Book...Coming soon, a new book review for 'Infuse'...It's not just for water, this book gives some easy to follow recipes for infusing oils and spirits!

July 19th- Sign...This is a handpaited window sign I saw while on one of our trips to Prescott, AZ! It's from the ApplePan restaurant. They serve up an amazing breakfast, and the staff is always
friendly!

Are you on Instagram? You really should be!! 

You can follow me here on Instagram! 

   I recently started following a photo a day prompt on #fmsphotoaday.

 Let me know if you decide to join in the fun!

Have a great rest of your week! Until next time!

Follow Friday #28: Hot in the Summertime

Happy Fri-YAY! How has your week been? I am so happy it is Friday, because I am so ready for the weekend! The girls and I are getting excited about their tea party, and my son is counting down the days until his birthday! Where does time go? One day I'm holding them in my arms, then I blink, open my eyes and they are getting jobs, driving cars, and going off to college. My littlest one, tells me she'll live next door to me, when she grows up, so that she'll never leave me! *sniff* I tell you, she really knows the way to her momma's heart!

For Follow Fridays from now on, I will be featuring 4 different blogs, one cooking/baking, one gardening, one décor/style, and one crafting.
