Summer

Wow, this first week of June started with incredibly hot weather!!!! In one day we switched from having the furnace on to having the AC on....unreal!!!! But now that first heat wave has passed, we got some much needed rain and today is sunny and a bit cooler.....The summer heat is not for me.......

My gardens are looking perky now with lots of perennials starting to bloom. The lavender bushes are ready to open, and I look forward to that event.....I collect the buds and dry them to use in my potpourri blends. The lupines are almost done now and I will let them go to seed for next year, they are so stately. My nephew is coming to help me trim some tree branches, they are brushing up against the house and need to be taken down.

My creative side is taking a rest right now, my muse ran away looking for greener pastures!!! That's okay, time to concentrate on other things for awhile. Come visit my etsy shop, lots of pretty things to brighten up your cottage home....looking for red, white and blue???? I've got it....come see!!! Also some cool summer jewelry that looks great on bare skin......

Hope you are enjoying nice weather in your part of the world, thanks for stopping by and God bless you on this day!!!!
