Salutations cottage fix friends! I was doing a little blogging today and realized I had some leftover flower photos in my media library. I think they’re so pretty that I didn’t have the heart to delete them, especially since they are no longer blooming in the back garden. So I decided to share them with you instead.

Well, it seems I’m still out here having fun in the garden. It’s hard to stay inside when the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the grass has turned green. I’m out here just peter puttering around … a little weeding, a little fetch with Paisley, and a little table in the garden. Miss Paisley and I seem to be stuck out here.

Today was a day of messin’ around in the garden, not one of those hardcore, break your back kind of days. The kind with lots of milling around, planting a few shade flowers, and maybe snapping a few photos for the blog.

Salutations! How are things? I’m feeling pretty darn good about things around here. I think it has something to do with all the sunshine. I hope it’s shining down on you too! I’m typically a little lazy when it comes to setting the table for company. I tend to lay out a stack of plates, a stack of napkins, and a pile of silverware, not so inviting. Whenever I’m invited to a friend’s or family’s party and they have taken […]
