Sundays Life Among The Blooms #2

Good morning, sweet friends! Welcome to Sundays Life Among The Blooms! Hope you have your cup of coffee in hand (tea or favorite beverage).

Thank you for joining me!

Here on Sundays, I talk about random things going on over at White Lilac Farmhouse and things that stop me in my tracks.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT wHITE lILAC fARMHOUSE

My Limelight Hydrangea Bushes

The Limelight Hydrangea Bushes in our yard have really taken off. We have huge blooms on the plants. I have been cutting them to enjoy inside.

I want to dry some of the Hydrangea blooms for fall projects. You can read about How To Dry Hydrangea here. I love to use the dried blooms in my home for the fall and winter seasons. They look beautiful in a wreath.

The birthday girl

Our Chloe girl turns 12 today. She is living out her best life. This precious girl who’s favorite person in the world is my husband, Jim. He takes her on car rides with him everywhere. Just the two of them.

She is a beautiful and sweet old gal. Chloe loves children and very gentle with them. She snores louder than anyone in the house. LOL.

Recently, Chloe had surgery on her mouth. It was discovered that she has cancer in that area of her mouth. There is nothing more the Vet can do for her. Needless to say, we were all devastate about the new.

She will continue to live her best life until Chloe. When her pain is too bad, we will make the decision for her to be put to sleep. For now, we continue to spoil her.

Last chance to get some gardening items. I am loving these galvanized planter boxes. The product indicates rust proof. Two of these planters would look nice in the back section of our yard. Pumpkins may be the first produce that we will be growing for the fall.

bEAUTIFUL INSPIRATIONS FROM OTHERS

This week, there was tons of wonderful inspirations from others around the web.

KariAnne, Thistlewood Farms shows us 7 WAYS TO DECORATE WITH MIRRORS. I love how she has mirrors of various sizes and shapes going up her stair case.

Kelly from The Tattered Pew has this wonder post The Lazy Girl’s Guide to Growing Colorful Zinnias from Seeds. Her Zinnias are spectacular. The flowers were grown from seeds! She has some really good information for growing these beautiful flowers.

I was elated to hear the news that Leslie Saeta of My 100 Year Old Home wrote a book! Yes, you heard that correct.

She wrote a book!

A Home to Share is currently on presale and you can purchase it and read more about it here. It is due to be released on September 27, 2022. There will be book signing events.

Let me tell you, Leslie is the queen of entertaining and all things crafts. She is so very talented and makes magic with everything her fingers touch! I can hardly wait to get her book to read. Needless to say, I ordered my book within minutes…yes minutes of hearing her announcement.

Can you tell I adore her?
