Summer Is In Full Swing!

We've been enjoying hot, hot temperatures & loving it!  Days spent relaxing & cooling off in the pool...especially when grand-baby joins us!  The weather is looking hot & humid for the next week or so!

I'm crushing on this basket from Bouclair....since the closest store is on the mainland... I ordered from their website...and it arrived in a matter of days...how adorable is this?


I set it on top of my dish cabinet...and will put a flameless candle inside to light up at night!  With the longer evenings....we've been spending most of our time outside....


I'm thrilled with my Fiesta jug found on FB Marketplace...it is exactly the colour I was hoping to find!  The seller accepted my offer -I paid less than half of the retail price these go for!  


I'm happy to report the container for dishwasher pucks is a generous size & holds a large supply of them!  It sits on the counter...close to the dishwasher and within easy reach....


Today Liesel has a grooming appointment...just in time to strip her down & keep cool!  She has been in the pool...while I'm sure it feels good...she does not like water!!  We began administering two medications her veterinarian prescribed for her tummy woes...and while we're not claiming a victory, we're seeing an improvement in her appetite...and much less vomiting. 

She is great to take her meds...we call them "treats"....one is pill form, the other liquid.  We cannot believe this precious face will turn ten the end of this month!!   The years have flown by....


The vegetable garden is thriving...we enjoyed fresh picked peas with barbecued chicken, new potatoes and delicious strawberry shortcake!  This is such a great time of year for fresh veggies!  And the flower gardens are in full bloom...Mr. Seventies clematis is thriving...our daughter gifted him this one...after many years of growing failures finally success....and there are two rose bushes blooming as well....


Join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphis Monday!

And tomorrow I will be sharing at https://www.astrollthrulife.net/ for Inspire Me Tuesday and https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays.....

Hope you have an awesome day and until next time....

  1. Hi Charlotte. The house basket is adorable and I'm so happy that you got such a great deal on your Fiesta jug. Liesel is indeed precious and that's great news that the medications are helping and that she is willing to take them. Congratulations on the success with your clematis and enjoy your pool and lovely weather. It is very hot here too (I think it's hot everywhere). Take care over there, my friend!
