Hi! Sunset on the first Friday of the Summer! There's a big breeze, almost a wind, tossing the new leaves on the ugly locust tree, as the sky now---at 8.30 PM begins to turn pink.
Not a spring day today at all, we are totally into summer now. And it is Memorial Day weekend!
The Blue Angels roared overhead this morning as the fighter jets practiced for the big weekend airshow. We so love our private showing!
The past few nights have been too hot to sleep! Dare I take off the flannel sheets? Should the parkas and big sweaters go to the box storage place or will this be a hoax?
The cottage is looking summery now.
Mo knows something is changing!
Picnic and pineapple sewing tomorrow on the beach! Hooray!
BBQ on Sunday...
Summer is here. [I love this umbrella! My kids say it's awful...?]
Happy Memorial Day! Remembering all the brave men and women who gave their lives for our Freedom.
love
lizzy
gone to the beach....

At the church flea f\today--I couldn't talk my friend into this darling antique yellow Wedgwood teapot! Only TWO dollars. Exceptional. She bought two pieces of the classic blue Wedgwood Jasperware instead, ho hum. I passed up beautifully embroidered pillow cases, dainty pale yellow and lavender baskets with handmade lace. Out of my budget at 10.oo. And there was an interesting collection of about ten glass flower frogs, each different. The kind with holes not pins. I liked them a lot.

Great price for that teapot! Happy summer weekend!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend! My plans include summer decorating.
ReplyDeleteYour home looked wonderful on your blog!
DeleteNice pictures, I love the one where the sand looks pink at sunset.
ReplyDeleteSummer has arrived here, too - it's supposed to be over 90 this weekend! Little TOO warm for me! I have been putting off putting away my winter clothes but need to so I can FIND my summer stuff. And do a little thinning in my closet at the same time.
Have a great weekend!
Hurray for summer and the fantastic umbrella! Your kids are nuts....lol I love your plans, enjoy that time on the beach. Kit
ReplyDeleteIn my kids' defense, I saw the umbrella in person and it is immense. It would def blow away. But I still love it.
DeleteHappy Memorial Day weekend to you and Mo!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the weather is warming up (and flannels are still on the bed, really?) ... Sorry it was too warm to sleep (do fans help) ...
The umbrella is wonderful! Any way to keep in the shade and on the porch is wonderful!
Have a great weekend!

Oh my gosh! Too hot to sleep! That's crazy.
ReplyDeleteYour place does look summery, and oh so festive. Deck looks good too. Like how you decorated the bench.
Your weekend sounds perfect. Hope you share some photos with us.
We're mostly spending the weekend doing stuff around the house. Husband is having the electricity in the garage upgraded...so he can use even MORE powerful tools... And we bought a shed that needs to be built. I will mostly be observing, and providing food and refreshing beverages ;)
Enjoy the weekend!

Ho Kel! Let me know if this comes thru? Blogger is making things weird.
DeleteYour weekend sounds productive! Not sure being the tool hander is so fun tho,lol. Hope it was nice.
Have a great week-end,hope your BBQ doesn't get rained out. It is raining at the Jersey shore.
ReplyDeleteLove that tea pot what a steal for $2.00!
Happy Memorial Day!
Yep, it rained. But it was nice anyway. Hope you had a good weekend.
DeleteI think the locust tree here in the backyard is done shedding. Now, its the maple spinners. Enjoy your sewing time!
ReplyDeleteOurs don't ''shed'' or bloom. Just there and ugly, lol. One down the block gets those big brown pods but not mine outside my window.
