Hi all! I hope you're all well. We've been very fortunate to have a few days of rain. I'm not sure if I'll plant vegetables this year. I may just have some potted herbs on the porch. Did you start your garden? If so, what did you plant? As always, thank you for joining the party. I hope you all have a beautiful weekend. 


Congratulations to our featured bloggers!

Croissant S’mores + Campfire Fun

Such a cozy little moment — the mix of croissants, chocolate, and firelight felt so playful and sweet. There’s a simple joy in gathering close, making treats, and letting the evening slow down around you. A truly heartwarming share.

Paarse Bloemetjes – Happy Trap

Those tiny purple blooms feel like a soft pause in the day — I love how something so small can brighten a moment and make you breathe a little easier. Such a lovely capture.

42nd Anniversary Reflections

Forty‑two years is such a tender, meaningful milestone. Cindy's reflections carry warmth, gratitude, and the gentle weight of a life built together. It’s a beautiful reminder of how love grows through seasons, memories, and everyday moments shared.

Lots to Love – 8" Baby Doll Playtime Set

Such a darling little set — every tiny piece feels thoughtfully made. There’s a comforting charm in handmade doll items, the kind that brings back simple joys and soft, creative moments. A truly lovely share.

  1. Thank you for sharing the photo of our 42nd anniversary dinner! Yes, it's been a roller-coaster adventure and we're definitely not the same people we were in 1984. I've dragged my husband so far out of his comfort zone that he forgot he had one! (Mr. "stay-at-home" has been shamed into para-sailing several times, camel riding and zip-lining {among other things} just by watching me do stuff and then giving in and doing it himself!) ~ not to mention me saying "why don't we move to Texas?" {20 years ago ~ we were doing cruises & taking layovers in Dallas from So.Cal, since our daughter was living here b/c she graduated SMU. So just picked up & moved in our 50s & was one of the best things we ever did!)* Catch y'all again next week!

  3. Hi Stephanie. I just have a couple of potted tomato plants on our patio. The temps have been up and down this past month so that may be all we do. Maybe some squash. Lots of rain here in Nevada recently, too, but we sure need it! Thanks for hosting each week--have a lovely weekend.

    1. It sounds like your little patio garden is doing just fine with all the weather ups and downs. Tomatoes and maybe a bit of squash feel just right for a year like this. I’m glad you’re getting the rain — even if it comes all at once, it’s such a gift in the desert. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope your weekend is a gentle one. :)

  10. Our weather is just starting to warm up, so our planting is getting underway now. We haven't planted any veggies, yet, just flowers. Last year we planted pumpkins for the first time and it was so much fun. I hope to do it again!

    1. Hey Kim!
      Oh, I love this time of year when the weather finally warms up! Your flowers sound like a beautiful start. 🌸🌼
      I’ve actually never grown pumpkins before, but that sounds like so much fun! You absolutely have to do it again this year—there is nothing like turning a little seed into a fall treasure. Happy summer and garden fun! 🌱🤗
