Jelly Jars

Knowing my love for all kinds of old glass and jars ...
...Evi saved these old jelly jars for me when she was cleaning out.
Perfect for a summery vignette...

Hope you had a good start to the week...
It has cooled down a bit tonight...
...better sleeping weather...
Good night!

Show Off

Could anything be more beautiful?

This deep, rich, luxurious blue hydrangea has drawn us in... Her dramatic beauty has eclipsed the other blossoms in our garden.

She's such a show off.

Rainy Day Blue With Sunshine On The Way!

Rain, rain go away!



My forsythia bushes are blooming....
...had to bring some of that sunshine indoors!



The sun is supposed to come out tomorrow afternoon...



...and the rest of the week will bring sunny, spring like and warm weather...



You know what that means?

Flea markets!!!

...and time in the garden...

...and a beautiful Easter Sunday!

:)

Look for the Silver Lining!

I spent the day shredding old documents and throwing out an amazing accumulation of stuff....
...geez...I'm such a saver...even at the office!



These silvery photos are from my "archives"...
...actually from earlier posts.



My life is in transition! One door is closing...
...I just know that other doors and windows are waiting to be opened!



...that's the silver lining!...

Look for the silver lining
When e'er a cloud appears in the blue.
Remember some where the sun is shining,
And so the right thing to do,
Is make it shine for you.

A heart, full of joy and gladness,
Will always banish sadness and strife.
So always look for the silver lining,
And try to find the sunny side of life.

Saying goodbye to so many coworkers and friends was difficult yesterday but we all made it through! Thank you for your kind words and support. My heart is filled with gratitude for my many blessings!
...and for all of my blogging friends too!

For more participants in Silver Sunday visit Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal

Hoping to have some fresh pictures for you tomorrow!

Faded Blue Hydrangea

Loving the last faded blooms of our hydrangeas...
...the colors of summer now softer...yielding to autumn's palette.

...soon enough we will be in the season of sparkle and magic!
Hope you are enjoying a calm and relaxing weekend...
Take care, Laura
