Happy Days!

June 30, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Hello! Happy lazy Saturday!

Martha Stewart Flowered Cocktails

I hope you are staying cool and perhaps enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade! It is blistering here, I think it is 100 and well over that with the heat index!

I am reading, relaxing and staying indoors! All of the beautiful flowers and flowering trees look great just outside my window! What are you up to this afternoon?

Martha Stewart

Enjoy whatever it is that you are up too, stay cool, hydrate and perhaps get out this evening and take some time to enjoy the stars and perhaps catch yourself a few fireflies( or at least remember the fun you had doing it as a child).

    It's quite hot here in Kansas. Our A/C isn't super awesome – downstairs is nice, but upstairs, where I spend my time is 90 according to the thermostat. Bleh. I hope tonight cools down, and the dang mosquitos go away!

    Hello Elizabeth

    Like you, we are experiencing high temperatures. Today we moved slowly and found shade beneath a tree.
    Enjoy your weekend

    How I love fireflies, dear Elizabeth! The last time I saw them was 20 years ago on a trip to Duluth…

    Enjoy your relaxing weekend, sweet friend!

    It's been a scorcher
    here, but in my older
    years I am actually
    embracing these heat
    spells and think they
    feel pretty nice, in
    small doses and with
    plenty of iced tea with
    lemon : ) Love fireflies
    and hope to see some
    over the next few nights
    as we spend time celebrating
    with friends outdoors.

    Stay cool, sweet friend!

    xo Suzanne

Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of pray Good morning friends! I need prayers, lots of prayers. My nephew was hit by a car on Thursday while riding his bike. To respect my brothers wishes I can’t say more. I believe in the power of pray and I would appreciate it tremendously if you could pray for my nephews full recovery as well as for his parents who are by his side. Sadly because of Covid they cannot be with him together at the same time. Thank you friends I appreciate this more than I can say. Have a wonderful day and remember life is fragile, it changes in an instant, hug your kids, your parents, your friends, family and pets. #powerinprayer #prayer #prayers #thereispowerinprayer #lifelately #spring #birds #birdsofinstagram

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
