Photos of the Week: June 5th

 Even though I didn't have a full week to concentrate on the I Spy photography challenge this week, I still think I did a pretty good job completing all the prompts. 

– floral print-- I don't have many things in the house with a floral print but then I remembered one of my favorite bags had this pretty floral print.



– orange-- I saw these orange flowers on my daily walk and thought they'd be perfect for this prompt. 




– starts with F-- I was torn between Falls and Flume for this one; I finally settled on Kedron Flume.




– fork-- I decided to try having some fun with forks and looked for a few ideas of things to try online.  




– your choice-- Walking around the garden the other day,  I snapped this photo of one rose bud.

    That is a pretty bag and those flowers are too. That is a clever idea with the forks. So cool. x

    Beautiful pictures Joanne. Love the rose bud! I planted a bare root climbing rose this spring and while it seems to be doing well, there are no buds. Maybe next year! The fork photo is so creative! Love it!

      Thanks! I was surprised the rose bush is doing so well. I have never had so many blooms and I didn't do anything with it at all.

    Oooohhhh --- I love your fork picture! And I think those orange flowers are columbine which are some of my favourite flowers -- they're so different and unique. Your floral bag is really pretty!

    A wonderful selection. Love the bag, and your fork arrangement is very creative. Looks like your orange flower is one of the deciduous azaleas like ilam. Love your woodsy pic of the flume too, I can just about smell the air! CarolG

    Clever photos of your week! The forks are unique. Haven't heard 'flume' in a long time.

    I'm happy you chose to share your link at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

Let's Look at... My Favorite Amazon Purchases for Summer Living

Image
 The 2nd Wednesday of the month means it's time for Let's Look At... last month we were checking out our medicine cabinets and this month we're looking at some of our favorite Amazon purchases.  I decided that since I've already shared my favorite purchases of 2021 (here) and my favorite purchases of 2022 (here) that for today's post I'd concentrate on our favorite purchases for summer living.  We live right on a lake so I spend a lot of time outside in the sun.  A couple of years ago I bought some new floats for the lake and I just LOVE this pineapple and watermelon float.  They are HUGE and best of all they've lasted us a few summers now.  My favorite place to be in the summer is sitting on this chair on our patio reading a book.  Speaking of reading-- I am loving my kindle paperwhite and can't wait to use it by the lake and the pool knowing it's waterproof and can hold so many books it's the only thing I'll need to bring on vacation

Prime Purchases in February

Image
 I do so well cutting back on my Amazon purchases this month and I am rather proud of myself!  I did buy quite a few books for Evan's schooling next year but I'll have a full post of what we're using for his 10th grade curriculum in another month or two when we're ready to wrap up this year.  I ordered some bathing suits, shoes, and tops for myself-- and returned them ALL!  They were cute and there was nothing wrong with the material but they just weren't my style. I'll share them on here though in case you do think they look like something you'd like.  Easily my 2 favorite purchases this past month were this necklace and these adorable heart earrings (though I did have to exchange the first pair I got since they were broken).  After all the scrapbooking pages I made last month my Cricut mats were no longer sticky so I bought another set and some more adhesive refills too so I'm ready to dig into our Universal trip this month and start on those pages

Share 4 Somethings in February

Image
  For this month's Share 4 Somethings (with Jennifer at Overflowing with Thankfulness) we'll once again be sharing things we loved, read, learned, and ate this month. Loved-- By far my favorite moment this month was watching Alec take first place in the culinary student cake contest. (A very close second was the date my husband and I went on this past weekend). Read--  I read so many great book this month and have at least another 1/2 dozen I'm trying to work my way through.  So many good books and yet so little time...  Learned-- Sadly this month I learned how to properly thaw pipes and check for leak when a few of ours froze one night where we had lost power and our temperatures dropped dramatically. Ate-- I'd love to say I ate nothing but healthy foods but we did eat cookies, cupcakes, and chocolate this month as well as some very, very healthy meals for me trying to find that balance.  Shredded turkey wrap with salad Fruit/yogurt/ granola Crustless quiche with 2 ing
