Friday Potpourri

This is me...

not really 

but I am not only doing the Friday dance this week

I am doing a happy dance of epic proportions

because as of 6:00 tonight

I am on vacation 

 

and it's been a long haul since the last one!

via

via

so today it is all about sunshine

and happy thoughts

via

already half way through June and I have to wonder

where on earth does the time go

really ~ in the blink of an eye

unknown

via

so plans include...

playing in the dirt

spending time with my hubby

reading ~ finishing one book and starting another

I hope to find some local berries

relaxing

 

via

via

 but first on Sunday night I will be packing a bag

because Monday I am heading out of town

via

I am going on a little girls trip with one of my dearest friends

you know the one you can sit and talk for hours with

or drive 2 hours and just sing.

We are heading stateside to do a little shopping

and hope to find a few vintage treasures while we are there too.

I am just looking forward to being off

shut the brain off for a bit.

So I wish you a wonderful week-end

hug your Dad on Father's Day

and smile

it looks good on you!

In Bloom

Spring is one of my favorite seasons

maybe it is all the colour

all the green ~ the blooms

this is a white lilac taken down at Trev's parents camp

I love that it has a tinge of mauve

it is gorgeous

my hanging baskets this year

million bells ~ year after year

I love them

a couple more camp shots

I filled the old washtub ~ better this year I hope

since it has better drainage ~ hoping it fills out and the climbing nasturtiums 

bloom and climb!

my new little revamped bed out back

picking up some perennials but also keeping some annual favorites

like my cosmos ~ can't have a garden without them!

This week-end was jam packed

out both nights and had a ball

Friday night was old friends and saying

remember that time....

great memories

the next night was a great dinner

and lots of wine

home a little earlier ~ another wonderful night 

with one of my favorite people ever

then Sunday was spent snuggled on the couch with 

Samantha ~ eating chips and dip ~ dill pickle please

and watching a movie

a perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon.

4 more days to work

and then vacation

looking so forward to it!

Hope you had a fabulous week-end

and that the sunshine warms your face this week

and makes you smile.

Friday Potpourri

Hello Friday ~ so nice to see you

and thank you for bringing Mr. Sunshine along for the week-end

it's been a jam packed week

last night was the first night I had nothing on the agenda

so I caught up on some things at home

via

via

via

isn't this just the coolest idea ~ love it!

via

via

another busy week-end ahead

an old friend is in from out of town

so we are having a little gathering with him tonight

then tomorrow night ~ meeting up with work friends

dinner and drinks

Sunday I hope to recoup ~ maybe....

via

hope that this week was kind

it rained here most of the week but the sun came out yesterday

so nice to see it in time for the week-end!

Have a good one.

Jubilee Celebrations

London is celebrating

and I have been watching

 

this is the picture I remember hanging in our classroom growing up!

We were talking about all the festivities on Sunday

and Mom said she remembers saving all the newspaper clippings

of the coronation back in 1953 ~ she would have been only 6

too bad she still did not have those clippings today!
 (the accession was in '52 but the coronation was not until '53)

London is all decked out ~ I so wish I could see this is person

one of the broadcasters said that they have not seen the Queen

smile so much

so much to celebrate ~ so many reasons to smile!

Last week I watched a special about the jubilee

and both Princes ~ William and Harry were interviewed

loved the interview especially when Harry said when asked

"what do you call her"

why Granny of course!

Tonight is the concert which I will be tuning into.

Have you watched at all?

Friday Potpourri

Pretty in pink

as I have flowers on my mind

and it's June ~ where on earth did May go??!!

via

via

via

it's been a cool and rainy week

so that means any planting I wanted to get done

did not ~ thankfully there is sunshine in the forecast

so tomorrow it is!

via

via

I want to thank everyone that came over to visit me at Kim's

on Wednesday ~ I really loved writing that post ~ a lot!

via

via

via

so I am off to dig in the dirt again

and maybe have a barbeque or two

along with an adult beverage

and  enjoy the sunshine.

Have a fabulous week-end!
