Outside my window...All the geraniums are blooming in different shades of pink.

There are scented geraniums like Rose Geranium so when you walk by you get a

fragrance of rose. Gardners Joy is one of my favorite scented geraniums. It has

nice leaves and has a two toned bloom.

I am thinking...What a blessing it is that God gives us beautiful flowers to admire.

I am thankful...that I have a wonderful husband. He will be returning from Atlanta on
Tuesday.

From the kitchen... there are plum tomatoes on the counter that I brought in from the garden. It is wonderful to see that red color in the kitchen once again. I told my family no tomatoes
out of season in this house. We can our tomatoes for the winter months ahead.

I am creating... a tea from my lavender plants today to use in my soap recipes. The extracts
from the plant add properties to the soap. Which in turn will nourish your skin.

I am going...spend time indoors today planning my my menu for the week.

I am wearing... my jean skirt and my black sweater.

I am reading...studying Psalms for my Bible study as we are learning about David's character.

I am hoping...to have a restful day.

I am hearing...the kids chatter in the background.

Around the house...the summer colors are all around us. The pink roses I brought in from the
garden in the front foyer. The bouquet of Russian sage purple flowers are in the family room.

One of my favorite things...is creating something from nothing.

A few plans for the rest of the week... getting ready for my daughters pool party on Thursday.


Here is a picture thought...Flowers on the deck right outside my window, what a joy.
