Our summer days...


Hello, meet Lion, and spotty the dog. After making our paper plate tambourines (below) we used the rest of our paper plate to make these adorable play masks. :) So for the past few days I've been hearing "Roar" and "Ruff Ruff". It makes me smile every time!
 
 
(We enjoyed the sounds of our paper plate tambourine, we danced, and sang. It was absolutely wonderful.)
 
It's nice to see some color in my vegetable garden. :)
 
My daughter said "mom bee". So of course I had to snap a few photos of our garden visitor.
 
 

 
Our summer days have been spent enjoying rainy days and reading books. For the past week, it has been raining, and I absolutely love it. We have been enjoying the simple things in life. Baking, crafting, some gardening, and my daughter's favorite seeing rainbows after the storm has passed. It's nice to see new flowers have bloomed, especially the ones our daughter has helped with. So far it has been a beautiful summer spent with my family.   How have you been spending your summer days with your loved ones?

    That teeny white flower is precious. What is it?

    Your crafts are always so fun. Creations that make you dance and sing must make the day a brighter even it is raining outside. Have fun!

    Thank you Jayne! You know I'm not exactly sure what that flower is. I purchased what is supposed to be purple flowers (which I forgot the name of the plant) but we picked it up at Home Depot. And to our surprise this tiny white flower bloomed, lol.

    Thank you for stopping by, enjoy your weekend. :)
