Patriotic Farmtable Garden Bucket with Flags

Hi dear friends, Hope you're doing well and enjoying this first week of July. Hard to believe this is now July. To be honest this summer is sliding by, although I know that things will slow down as we get to mid July. I haven't done much decorating at all for July 4th, but I wanted to share a few pics of the farmtable decor tableau that usually gets a changeup every month out here in the Garden Room.

Patriotic and Summer Inspiration at All About Home #98

Hi Friends, WOW, it's almost July!!! Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I'm still in recovery mode after having lumbar spine fusion a couple of weeks ago, but I can see small improvement each day. It will just take a while. Thankyou again and again for your thoughts and prayers.

Flags and Teapots in the Patriotic Holiday Cupboard

Hi Friends, wow, it's so hard to believe that the July 4th holiday is just around the corner! Are you getting into the Summer groove? A few weeks ago I brought out my traditionally summer French Faience and exchanged the Green Transferware in the Holiday Cupboard here in the Garden Room.  

Summer Inspiration at All About Home #97

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I'm still in recovery mode after having lumbar spine fusion a couple of weeks ago and I really wasn't prepared for what that would be like. I'm using a walker and I basically have to rely on my husband for all the little things. Any little "off move" can cause pain and put things at a standstill. But I can see small improvement each day. It will just take a while. Thankyou again and again for your thoughts and prayers.

Lovely Lemony Daisy Arrangement on the Sideboard

Hi Friends. A few weeks ago I wanted to update and give a summer refresh to the sideboard here in the Hearth Room. I'd had a tabletop wooden wheelbarrow filled with my Garden Pot/Seed Packet Wreath and some vintage garden-y things, but it was a little too spring-y for mid-June. It was time for some early summer flowers to make an appearance.

All About Home #96

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I took a week off because of back surgery at the beginning of June. Last year I had cervical spine fusion... this year it has been my lower back. Thanks so much for your good thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate them! Thankyou Amber for hosting the party last week and for sharing a patriotic post of mine from last year!!

Summer Containers on the Porch and in the Garden

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share a quick post with some pics of my containers out back and on the front porch. These were taken a couple of weeks ago, so they are just barely blooming, not really filled out at all. This is my first time posting since I had the back surgery a week ago today. I had to have my husband help with all the "heavy lifting" to get these containers put together. He's not a gardening fan; I can barely wring enough sympathy out of him to water them while I've been "indisposed". He enjoys seeing how much color they add to the porch and the pretty blooms, he's just been trapped in an office for years, so his mind doesn't gravitate to extra stuff outdoors that might be considered work.
