Hi there, hope you are having a nice weekend. Rough week for me but the weekend got much better because yesterday I threw a baby shower for my daughter in law (still getting used to saying that) It was such a fun and magical day and made it all feel so real. We are very very excited for the big day! I forgot both how much fun it is to plan a party and how much work it is too:)<\/p>\n

Of course, I am a real stickler for details so that makes things feel like more work, definitely not a “go with the flow” kind of gal. But everything came out as I had hoped\/envisioned it and it was really beautiful. \u00a03 guests came down with Covid (rearing its ugly head around here) and a few more were caught up in the craziness of the grounded flights, one of them landed at JFK as the shower was starting but still made it in time for cake, that’s what I call perseverance! \u00a0It was a very very special day!<\/p>\n

Today hope to get some rest then off to being a guest at someone’s house later on. OK, time for my post…….<\/p>\n

1 MY GARDEN \u00a0<\/strong>Well\u00a0after a really brutal string of\u00a0blistering hot days (not unlike many parts of the country), my garden was feeling very overheated. \u00a0Thankfully, \u00a0it’s bounced\u00a0back and producing all kinds of yummy things. Lots of herbs,\u00a0zucchini galore, too many cucumbers\u00a0and\u00a0tomatoes are ripening,\u00a0picked my first little\u00a0container of cherry tomatoes. Few things are as\u00a0pleasurable\u00a0as waling into a\u00a0garden and seeing\u00a0what’s ready to pick, very cathartic. I even nursed my hydrangeas back and\u00a0they are once again blooming!<\/p>\n
