Quote of the Day  “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.” ~ John Lubbock

Hello Monday! On the agenda for today: Stay out of the way of the crew installing our wood stove. Which, should be interesting with Lucy. 😉

Have a wonderful Monday everyone, stay cool!

Quote of the Day  “Windows open out onto the universe around you, but doors will take you to where your imagination lies.” ~ Anthony T. Hincks

Hello Friday! Today, between the hours of 7am – 11 am 😉 we will be getting a brand spankin’ new freezer delivered. We sold our old one before we moved, and well, with the garden coming on like crazy thought it was time to get a new one. It will be so nice to fill it up with yummy homegrown produce and a few freezer meals. I’m excited!

How about YOU? Anything exciting going on this weekend? The temps should be in the mid 90’s around here…. Anyone know at what temperature the grass stops growing? We’d love to skip a week of mowing if we can. Haaaaaaahahaha.

Stay awesome. Stay out of trouble, and enjoy the sunshine.

Quote of the Day “Always keep your eyes open. Keep watching. Because whatever you see can inspire you.” ~Grace Coddington

Hello Thursday! Last night wood stove guy called to let us know that he would not be installing the new stove today. Boooo! Apparently rain and thunderstorms are not the best weather conditions for being up in a boom truck and messing around on the roof. Who knew? Oh well, I guess we can wait another week, right?

I think today is going to be an inside {thanks to all that rain!} which is a good thing because if I’m going to do an Etsy shop update this weekend, I need to get crackin’ on my last few pieces.

How about YOU? Anything exciting going on today? We’d love to hear about it.
