| Purple-headed Coneflower Blooming in Our Front Yard This Morning |
Good morning, Dear Ladies!
I trust that you and your family had a nice weekend and that your week this week is off to a great start! Happy First Monday in June! 💗
Our weekend was full to the brim and running over, but good here. I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon, enjoyed spending time with family and friends, watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and went on a 'fox hunt' with the grands, and was even "given" a star as a gift. (Now...who can beat that???) It was a great weekend! 😇
Now, this morning, I'm up and at 'em and looking forward to another full week ahead! Let's get started as we join Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom...shall we?

Doing laundry, eating breakfast, and working on this post.
Thinking...
About my girlhood friend, Trinda. Today is her birthday. Trinda was born with a hole in her heart and lived to be 18-years-old. She had a beautiful, kind, and loving spirit and will always be remembered by those of us who were fortunate enough to call her our friend. Happy Birthday in heaven, Trinda! You are much loved and not forgotten. 💗
I am also remembering my mother-in-law, Mary Knox. She passed away five years ago today. I was fortunate enough to know her from the age of 5 on up and she is another one who was much loved, is thought of often, and is missed by those her knew and loved her (her and my father-in-law both!!!)
Rudy and Mary, I love you both and am thankful for the influence you had in my life! 💗💗

This morning I've having one of my favorites...Trim Healthy Mama's 'Sweatpants Oatmeal' with blueberries, a Cutie, and a steaming hot cup of Twining's Irish Breakfast tea.

Most of last week was super hot, but Saturday and Sunday were both much more comfortable with highs in the mid-80's and nights in the low- to mid-60's with low humidity. Right now it's 73 degrees and, thankfully, it looks like the nicer weather is going to prevail for a few more days...which makes me super happy! 😄

Getting the cherry tree cut up and out of the yard, catching up with my friend, Laura, and spending time with family and friends over the weekend.
Something interesting I watched...
Two baby red foxes playing under a street lamp. They would stand up, rumble, then tumble, and roll. They were so cute!

ReplyDeleteConeflowers are one of my favorites and mine are just now really getting fired up. I regular purple coneflowers growing in the front yard and we've got pale purple and gray-headed growing at the park. They're all beautiful! Hope you're having a nice weekend and are recovering from your vacation. Talk with you soon! :)
