Lemons



Well friends, I am so, so happy that it's Friday. It has been one of those weeks for me. You know what I mean? Where nothing seems to go right? And everything just sort of seems to fall apart? It's times like those that you need to stop and smell... well, the hydrangeas.

I got home tonight in just enough time to enjoy a little daylight. So David and I headed outside and spent some time in the backyard. We did a little work (I weeded my veggie garden- my green beans are sprouting!), grilled some steak kabobs and I clipped some of my newly bloomed hydrangeas. It makes such a difference to step back a little bit, take a deep breath, say a quick prayer and enjoy the beauty life has to offer.

And now I've got a pretty little arrangement on my kitchen table : )

I'm ready for Friday and ready for a wonderful weekend. Ours will be filled with all kinds of fun wedding festivities for some dear friends of ours. What are you up to?  Whatever it is, don't forget my wise words- when life hands you lemons... ask for salt and tequila. Happy Friday!

PS. So proud of my Georgia girl, Lauren Alaina! Just for the record, she's been my fav since day one!!

    The hydrangeas are beautiful! Ours are in full bloom too, need to cut a few to bring indoors. Have a wonderful weekend, sounds like fun. And yes, while I like Scotty too, I was so proud of Lauren especially after seeing her "hometown" visit.

    I'm a fan of that advice too - it sounds like you had a nice evening outside though, those are some of my favorite nights in the summertime. I hope you have a great weekend!

    Your hydrangea are lovely! Here's to a FANTASTIC weekend. :)

    P.S. I'm super excited about both Scotty and Lauren. It took me a while to get over the way Scotty holds the mic -- and the weird faces he makes -- but hey, whatever works, right? And Lauren reminds me so much of my younger sister that it's been impossible for me not to cheer her on!
