Hello and Happy Monday! ☀️
I don't have a lot of time to get this post done this AM but I still wanted to pop in and say hello and share with you. I just love this time with you each week Friends. 💗
It was both a productive and relaxing weekend. I cleaned and organized all of my bathroom drawers. Going through all of my clothing drawers next. Matt will be moving in soon and I want to have plenty of room for all of his things too. ;)
Matt built a couple of outdoor pieces that I received for Mother's Day. I especially love the raised garden bed. I share pics down below.
But there were also relaxing moments. My daughter and I went to watch my former SIL's daughter play soccer and then we went out with her and my 2 nieces for a girlie lunch. Matt and I went out on the pontoon yesterday (makes Ruby such a happy girl) and had a little afternoon snack picnic out on the water. Then last night threw some steaks on the grill and they were really yummy!
Now onto the week ahead....

TIPS OR SOMETHING TO SHARE:
FROM THE CAMERA:
Pics of summer already begun. My daughter is finished with school and has already had pals over for summer moments. 💕 I love the new big umbrella as it has lights in it too and the big deck just feels like another outdoor living room. We're out there whenever the weather permits.
A few more pics of angels up at the hospice house where I do some of my work. Such sacred ground there.
Half time break at my niece's game. It was a gorgeous day!! ☀️
My sweet fella was hard at work putting these pieces together for me. I just love them both so much! I'll now have a nice work space to plant my pots. And I am already having so much fun with my raised garden bed with greenhouse protector top. It even has self irrigation built in! I planted some cukes, snap peas, lettuce, garlic chive and sweet basil.
Captain of the pontoon and my heart (awwww 😍 )
Yum! 😋
That's one happy girl!!
