lately

clockwise from top left: poolside x2, get-in-my-tummy tomatoes, darling Dusty, my sprawling rose bush/tree, a single dark pink rose, Joe building an IKEA etagere for my new place (I helped), bamboo contact paper, bar cart getting a facelift with the new contact paper.

A few of my favorite things as of late.  Nothing beats cooling off in the pool when temperatures have been above 100.  Move moving prep has been happening and the countdown has begun--2 days!  And my tree-like rosebush is sporting several pink flowers.  Amazing what a little water and love can do for a knockout rose plant.  I love how hardy they are, and how often they bloom.

Wishing you a happy fourth!

A wreath can brigthen up any door, and make guests feel welcome before they even ring your doorbell.  Above are some of my favorite wreaths for summer, and many pictured would work year-round.

I'm thinking summer today and can imagine using each one of these things for fun in the sun or a relaxing night long after the sun has gone down.
