Monday Musings~ The First Day of Summer!

Out in my yard today... 70 degrees and little breezy. So ready for summer weather to arrive!

The colombine, one of my personal favorites, is in full bloom.

I'm grateful for... guardian angels that accompany my daughter when she is driving. Last week there was a malfunction with the car that could have resulted in a dangerous situation for her. By the grace of God she made it home safe and sound.

One of my favorite things... are my Sloggers, these garden clogs that my husband gave me last year. No matter how muddy they get, I can just spray them off. Fabulous!






This week I'm reading... The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. Morton is an Australian author and wonderful storyteller. The plot is somewhat intricate, moving back and forth across several generations, but it's still a relaxing read. I'm also reading The Walk by Richard Paul Evans. This one is our current book club pick and I quite like it. Very thought provoking.

I'm looking forward to... going to the city band concert at the bandshell in the city park Thursday evening. The entire cast of the summer musical show that my girls are in will be performing a "sneak peak" in preparation for the show's opening in a couple of weeks. I love to watch my girls on stage!
