Happy Friday Cottage Fix friends! It’s been a long one, and we’re going on day two of a three day rain here. I spent the morning at the gym and the afternoon baking and cleaning. If I don’t keep myself busy during these long spells of dreary weather I’ll sink into a lull until the sunshine returns.

We inherited a never ending shrub and flower bed with our new to us home. Apparently one of her previous owners had one heck of a green thumb! We are slowly working on getting our yard back under control, but those weeds just keep popping back up. The peonies look lovely in the garden, or cut and brought inside.
