You're The Star - Creative Feature Week
Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was busy especially after being gone for a week. I had a wonderful visit with my Mom. Now, it's back to work. I worked on a couple of projects and did laundry. It has been hot so we did spend time in the pool.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
Welcome to week#3 of the July 2021 "You're the Star" Blog Hop!
Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share this post from my blog:

Blooming Sweet Potato Vines
Blooming Sweet Potato Vines
While I was visiting my Mom in June, I came back with some sweet potato vines from the nursery where my sister works. They were quite little. I planted them and then set the pot under my tree.
It has been growing and doing well. When I came back on Thursday, hubby said, "did you see your plant blooming?"
There were these small pink flowers that remind you of morning glories.
I was so excited. I sent my sister a picture and she was shocked. She showed the plant to her boss and he was shocked.
Little did I know that it is rare for sweet potato vines to bloom. She said in all the years she has been there, no sweet potato vines have ever bloomed.
They wanted to know what I did. I didn't even fertilize the plant, just sat it under my tree.
Like morning glories, they close up at night and then bloom in the day. I checked online and it said the same thing about it being rare for them to bloom.
Do any of you have flowering sweet potato vines? I would love to hear from you.
The post Blooming Sweet Potato Vines first appeared on Eclectic Red Barn.

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend has been wonderful. Mine has been good. Doing lots of gardening. I brought a number of plants back from Pittsburgh. My sister works at a nursery so I was going crazy. They were getting rid of many of their vegetable plants so I bought some back with me, like cabbage, hot peppers, basil and tomatoes.
I bought my daughter some plants too so I helped her get them planted today. I still have some others to plant, but not sure where yet.
I hope you have a great day!

Happy Thursday! Well, I am writing this a little early since I will be traveling back to Florida on Wednesday. I had a wonderful visit with my Mom and sister. It is always so difficult to leave not knowing when I will see them again. I try to make it every few months.
I had an extra wonderful opportunity on Tuesday when I met Debbee from Debbees Buzz. We talked and talked for a couple of hours. She is just so precious. It is a pleasure to be able to actually meet one of my blogging friends in person.
I hope you are all doing well. Have a great weekend ahead.

I will be heading back on Wednesday to Florida. Not looking forward to the drive but anxious to get back home. Enjoy the rest of your week.

Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was very nice. I am still in Pittsburgh. My sister and I went to a community garage sale on Saturday. That's the first time I have been garage saling in years. We had a blast. They hits for antique stores. We had a delightful day.
Afterwards we pick up Mom, she didn't want to go to garage sales, and took she to Olive Garden for a late lunch. She enjoyed getting out. Today was church and then to Panera Bread for another late lunch. Seem like that is our common theme.
I hope you have a great week ahead!

Happy 4th of July! I hope you are having a great holiday weekend here in the U.S. it's always nice to have a long weekend. We are not sure what we are doing for the 4th because we are having so much rain. It rained most of the day today. They were to have a parade at 4 in our small town but not sure if they did or not because of the rain.
Do you have any special plans for this holiday weekend? Picnics or get togethers?
We have some wonderful features for your 4th celebration and or other wonderful summer party.

Alexandra from Eye Love Knots is also the author of the blog On Rockwood Lane and she shared with us how to make a pretty succulent garden like the one pictured above. We get a lot of rain where I live so there isn't much hope I will ever have a garden like this one, but I sure love looking at hers!

You're The Star - Family Feature Week
Welcome to You're The Star - Family Feature Week
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a lovely weekend. We had lots of rain on Saturday but a beautiful Sunday with no rain. It was so nice to not have rain for a change.
I didn't get much done outside but I did get the rest of the peaches cut up and into the freezer. I canned a few jars as well. In July, my BIL is bringing me some more peaches. Yikes, I just might be in peach overload. lol!!
Hubby's Administrative Assistant was selling her house and so when he was down there last week, she gave him several things. One of which was an antique highchair that belonged to her grandmother. Not sure why she gave it to me. Today I was trying to sand it and see what I could make of it. Still working that out.
I hope you have a great week ahead!

Welcome to the party. I hope your weekend is going well. Ours has been good although trying to get things done between rain storms. We have had so much rain that we have had to drain the pool three times in the last 10 days. Yesterday, we got 3 1/2 inches of rain.
My garden loves it but now our grass is getting yellow spots because of too much rain. Crazy. I try to do things early in the morning. Last night was OK, just rain in the afternoon. Sunday looks like a drier day - let's hope.
Are you having lots of rain or are you dry? Are you working on any projects? Let me know what you are up to! Have a great Sunday!

Happy Thursday! Can you believe that we are still having rain? Wow, everyday, mostly late afternoon thru evening, we get these huge storms. The poor dogs hate this weather, not only because of the thunder but every time they need to go to the bathroom, it is raining.
The garden is certainly loving all of the rain and my blackberries are forming fruit again. That's weird. The squash are getting larger by the day. I have had to put the squash in the freezer because they are ripening so fast.
My brother-in-law came down from Georgia and brought a bushel of peaches. They were so good, but when I had back problems last week, I wasn't able to can any so I cut them and placed them on trays and froze them and then hubby vacuum packed them. I did make hubby a peach pie for Father's Day. It is is favorite dessert.
What have you been up to? Any garden veggies or fruit? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Wednesday to everyone. I don't know about you, but we are having very bad rain storms. Yesterday the power went out at 6:30 in the evening and came back on at 11:30. It so dark right now, you would think it was around 8:30 instead of 4:30. I am getting tired of rain already and hurricane season just started. On the plus side, we have not had to water in almost 2 weeks.
I hope you are enjoying the beginning of summer. Have a great week ahead.
Welcome to the Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop! We are so glad you are here.
Summer has now officially arrived! Do you have any big plans? What do you love to do? Check out the posts this week to get some great ideas.

So sorry I am late in posting this party. I hurt my back yesterday and totally forgot. Have a great Sunday.
Also happy Father's Day to all the wonderful fathers out there - your special day is much deserved! No one can fix broken toys like you can, keep a pristine lawn or grill the perfect steak like you!

Happy Thursday! I hope your week has been great so far. Mine has been good. We had have lots of rain. Today was pretty good with only some sprinkles. The plants, veggies and flowers are loving it.
The rain forced me indoors to work on some sewing. I made drapes for my she shed door and one pillow for outside. I was working on the other pillow when the zipper that I put in broke. No matter what I did, I could not get it fixed. I ripped it out and had to go and get a new one. That was frustrating, but what can you do?
I also began working on a rag type wreath. Hopefully, I will get it finished soon, if it continues to rain. If not, outside projects will take over.
What have you been up to? Making lists for summer projects that you want to complete, trips you want to take, or staycations you might be planning?
Have a wonderful day!

Happy middle of the week (almost) - who's counting, right? Can you believe it is the middle of June? Kids are out of school and summer is almost officially here. Life is good!
We finally got some much needed rain the last couple of days. Although I wanted to work on some outdoor projects, I was able to finish up some indoor projects. I made two pillows and made some drapes for my she shed door. I was glad to get them off my list. I guess rain is good sometimes!
Any summer plans or projects for you?
