Our big outdoor projects will continue through the weekend, but we’ll reward ourselves with late afternoon swims and evening barbecues. I’m loving this summer season!
Enjoy your weekend!
Before summer is over, I want to share a photo of my hydrangeas. It was a great summer for hydrangeas and mine were no exception. It’s funny how a plant can be lovely every year and every once in a while it is more beautiful than ever and we’re in awe. I love that it wasn’t just a plant in my yard that was spectacular, but hydrangeas everywhere were putting on a show that we could all enjoy.
Here’s what I’m sharing this weekend.
