Beautiful summer.

 
A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.

Beautiful summer days and nights are spent with my family. We enjoy spending time in the garden and cutting fresh flowers. Our daughter enjoys evenings out playing with water and drawing with chalk. The clouds move in, and the sun peaks through. It's so beautiful, these summer days and nights. I'm thankful for all that we have and the time we spend together. My flowers are blooming, so many beautiful colors. We spend a lot of time creating art and exploring with different colors of paint. I find so much happiness in the little things. Lately, I've been cooking up a few new dishes and baking like the Fall season has arrived. (Especially when we have our rainy evenings.) We enjoy cozy nights spent out on the patio. We play music and dance with our little one. Oh, what a beautiful summer it has been. Where do you find your happiness?  I hope you all have had a lovely weekend with your loved ones as well.

Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #99! This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. This week Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful comments on my daughter's behalf. She's doing well and healing wonderfully after having her wisdom teeth removed. We experienced a few rainy days, and I managed to do some weeding in my gardens. How was your week? I wanted to share this picture of one of the squirrels that visits our porch. These snapshots show the squirrel taking a break in the morning, lying on the railing. I guess the squirrel was thinking about where to hide those peanuts next.   Congratulations to our featured bloggers Jennifer at Tea With Jennifer shared a post reflecting on friendship and reminding us of the greatest friendship we can ever have.

Hi there, I hope everything is going well for you. Today, I want to share with you a simple upcycling holiday craft idea. The three main materials you will need for this craft are a bowl, a cork, and some wintery foliage. I used a cork lid from a salt bottle that I had kept, and a pink bowl I had bought a few months ago for just 50 cents. You can easily put this project together in less than 15 minutes, and it looks absolutely beautiful once it's displayed. So, if you're ready, let's start creating! Here's what you'll need One bowl (any size works, I am using a smaller bowl for my design) Wintery faux foliage Cork (I am reusing a cork from a salt bottle) Hot glue Floral cutters (to cut foliage to size) Pinecones (optional) Attaching the cork to the bowl To begin, turn your bowl...
