Good Morning, Monday!
Still not quite ready for you.
I'm enjoying...
Gazing at the blue delphiniums that need to be planted (but not in this heat)...
Smelling the fragrance of new lavender (still in its container for the same reason)...
Making Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins (daughter is making!)...
Watching the family set up the gazebo-like tent for the graduation party (in 90+ degree weather)...
Thankful for air conditioning to cool things down...
Using decorations that we had on hand instead of buying new...
Thankful for friends and family who joined us for the celebration...
Watching our guests enjoy the spread (glad that two days of cooking and prepping paid off)...
Glad, too, that husband's co-workers enjoyed many many many many leftovers...
Happy for not having to cook for half a week after the party...
Watching my son grow up before my eyes...
Watching my daughter too**...
Thankful to the Lord that 2 of our 4 homeschoolers have journeyed all the way through and are now highschool graduates.
What are you enjoying today?
** my daughter's "hair and makeup wasn't ready" to take her picture with her board of photos...
Sorry I missed the party; I hope you will post more pictures.

Our delphiniums are in bloom and I love them, so beautiful and delicate.
Looks like a great celebration.
