Happy Thursday my friends! Hope you are all doing well. We had a break in the rain the last two days. Just a few sprinkles the last two days. I see that it has been quite hot up north. My Mom lives in Western PA and it was almost 91 degrees which was about what we had here in Florida. They did say that the temperatures were going to be above average this summer. I hope that doesn't mean here in the south. How has your weather been? What are you up to? Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.
It is almost hump day. That's good right? If you are working, then that's a good thing, but if you are retired, it is just another day. That would be me! We are finally having some much needed sunshine after all of the rain from Cristobal. The chance of rain is still high for the rest of the week, but maybe the forecast is wrong. One can hope. How is everything in your neck of the woods?
Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week
Happy Monday my friends. I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was filled with rain, especially Saturday. Not too much on Sunday. We needed the rain and it gave me some time to work indoors. Plus the grass and flowers and garden are very happy. How was your weekend? Did you head out or stay at home? Any new projects?
Welcome to the second week of the June 2020 blog hop called "You're the Star"! Before we continue onto the Linky party I wanted to share this post from my blog:

Happy Sunday! How is everyone this wonderful day? We are having rain from Cristobal. It is rather nice to not being able to be outdoors. It seems as though that is all I have done. Now the grass is green, the flowers are happy and the garden is growing. Life is good!
My favorite part of these parties is reading your comments. I feel like I get to know you and that we are almost like "texting" back and forth. You share your stories with me and I share mine - just like friends. So keep them coming.
Happy Thursday! Hope this first week in June is off to a great start. We actually went out to a restaurant for hubby's birthday. We were a little leery but we ate outside and there were only a few people there so we had plenty of space around us. Have you ventured to a restaurant? Are more places opening up in your area? Tell me what is happening in your life. Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.
I wish I could say that my yard work is all done, but I can't. I think the list grows over night. We got 2 truck loads of dirt, one for the flower beds and one for the vegetable plants. I was finally able to get my strawberries in the ground. I planted some more flowers in the new beds and we put down around 80 bags of mulch. I still have to finish about 10 bags. I hope to get that done tonight. I told hubby,"we are getting too old for this". I guess it keeps us young, or just too tired. lol!
Are you doing crazy stuff like I am? Is your yard done? How about your garden?
Happy Monday and the first day of June. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Ours was packed with little of this and a little of that. Some yard work, planting flowers, gardening and scrubbing the front porch. What was on your agenda over the weekend? Did you do any yard work or gardening? Maybe relaxing was on your agenda. I did some of that too. lol!

Happy Sunday! It is the last day in May. I think this year is going to be like last year - it goes way too fast. I guess when you gt older, you want the days/months to slow down. We had a gorgeous day. Did lots of yard work and cleaned my front porch. How was your day?
My favorite part of these parties is reading your comments. I feel like I get to know you and that we are almost like "texting" back and forth. You share your stories with me and I share mine - just like friends. So keep them coming.
Hello my bloggy friends. It is the last day in May. I remember talking to my Mom in April and she said I don't think I can go another month being isolated. Well, we did it. May is almost done and June is right around the corner. More and more places are open and it is easier to find groceries and TP, and other supplies. I find that people are wearing masks more than when it was at the height of the virus. Not sure why, but maybe because more masks are available. I still don't venture out much but my daughter and I did go and get some flowers and soil. We had a nice few hours together. How are things in your area? Are you getting out more? Can you find what you need?
Happy Thursday! Well, this will be the last TFT party in May. Can you believe that? June is coming and here in Florida, kids will be finishing their home studies this week. I saw that some places are registering for some summer camps. I feel for all of you that have kids and look forward to summer camps for the kids and wonder what will happen this summer. It has to be difficult.

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Weekend. At least for some, it will be a short week. Always nice to have an extra day off. I worked on a couple of projects, although they aren't done yet. I hope to finish one up tomorrow. I worked on my she shed - one of these days I need to show you pictures of it. I hope you have an enjoyable week.
Happy Memorial Day. I don't know about you, but we are having a quiet day at home. Doing some yard work, a few projects and relaxing. My daughter is coming over for a cook out later. I know some people are heading to the beach. I saw pictures of hundreds of people at Atlantic City at the beach. I just could not be in a crowd like that. How are you celebrating memorial Day - At home or are you venturing out?

Happy Memorial Weekend. What are your plans for this holiday? I saw so many campers when I was coming back from Ft. Lauderdale. Some said they were going no matter what. We are home. Just doing things around the house. I had to weed my garden, replant some flowers and fixed a broken plant stand. We did Thai takeout last night but the rest of the weekend we will be grilling out.

Happy Memorial Weekend. This holiday may be a little different than ones in the past, but that's OK. I see more people walking these days or riding bikes. Just spending time with their family. Maybe slowing down a little is a good thing. The thing that I miss the most is hugging. I can't wait for the day to hug my daughter, family members and friends. That will be a great day. In the mean time, I can still see them even if they have masks on. Those masks do free you up to skip makeup though.
Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is still doing well. I am actually going to venture away tomorrow. I am heading down to Ft. Lauderdale to see my best friend. She also happens to do facials. I am going to stay with her over night and then come back home on Friday. I figure she is healthy and so am I and we are only seeing each other. I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Weekend.

Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had a busy weekend working in our yard and the garden. I even planted some plants that needed to get into the ground. What did you do over the weekend?

Happy Sunday! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We were busy outside but then again, we always seem to be busy outside. No sooner do we get something done, and we fine another project to do. I never have time to post the projects, but at least they get done. How are your projects coming?
My favorite part of these parties is reading your comments. I feel like I get to know you and that we are almost like "texting" back and forth. You share your stories with me and I share mine - just like friends. So keep them coming.
Hello Bloggy Friends! I hope everyone is healthy and maybe getting to go out a little. I haven't ventured out much except I did go to the grocery store. A few more stores opened up but I will wait a while before going to them. What is happening in your area?
Welcome to this week's features. These are just a few of the things that I really enjoyed reading from last week's entries. There were so many good ones to choose from.
Have a look at this spring table from It All Started with the Paint. It's so fresh and clean with pink and grey. I love the lanterns Linda, wishing you had said where you got them. Don't miss the double sided table runner on Linda's table. She has a tutorial for it.
Next we have a beautiful spring wreath from Yvonne at The Stone Gable. I'm always drawn to this blog whenever I see her photos. It doesn't look that difficult to make either. I had to order the black and white ribbon right away (even though you can't get it until June).
This one caught my eye because I'm so eager for a night out. This list of quarantine date night ideas from the Lou Lou Girls got me thinking. I wish I lived in some place with a view like this.
The next feature is a paper craft. These cactus paper cards are so cute. I haven't done much with cards, but this makes me want to try. This is from Antonella at White House Crafts. She has so many cute paper cards.
The last feature is part of a one room challenge series with Better Homes and Gardens. I would love to try one of these, but for now I will just have to live vicariously through Kathryn over at The Dedicated House. She is transforming her daughter's bedroom, but here is her breakfast nook from her entry in the 2017 challenge.
Now it’s time to get some new ideas for this week.
Thanks again for joining the party. Remember to click around and visit all the inspiring posts.
