Good Morning Sunshine

 A fresh bouquet of chocolate mint.
I've been getting up before the sun, to take advantage of the somewhat cooler temperatures, and get the watering done.
This morning, I cut a huge bouquet of chocolate mint.
Smells wonderful, and I placed it on the kitchen island, to enjoy all day long.

 I'm delighted that the sunflowers are beginning to blossom.
Just barely.
I have started additional sunflower seeds, so that I may plant them in succession.
I'd love to have an abundance of sunflowers well into the Fall.

 Lucky me.
Watching the sun rise over the mountains.
No better way to start the day.

 Flowers are all growing beautifully.
How cheerful.

 Garden goodness.
Little baby squash, and new squash blossoms.

The 'girls' get to play on the lawn, and get a bit of sunshine too.
They are beginning to feather out nicely.
Now... we just need to kick it into overdrive the next few weeks, and get the barn renovation finished so that they will have a home.

Yes... it's shaping up to be a great week.
Full of sunshine, and blessings.


Attitude of gratitude:
~I'm grateful for lemons. I buy them in bulk at Costco.
Nothing tastes better on a hot sunshiny day, than icy cold lemon water.
The perfect fruit!
~I'm grateful that I found some of my fabric stash.
I found an adorable soft yellow, and golden yellow, paisley print quilt at D.I.
Now that I've found my fabric, I want to make a couple of co-ordinating pillows for the quilt.
~I'm grateful that I found a couple of gallons of white paint at ReStore.
Perfect for re-painting the old wooden bench that sits on the front porch, and for re-painting the old wooden swing with.
