Good morning! How is your week? Mine has been busy and HOT! It is a heatwave here, what about in your neck of the woods? Do you have any ways to beat the heat besides sweet tea and ice cream?
Although I have been trying to catch up on things at home I did find a few things to share with you this week.

Speaking of lifting your spirits have you visited Carolyn Roehm’s blog lately? If not check out her beautiful dahlias and her tables cape using them for the 4th. Simple, beautiful, perfection.

Yes, it is VERY hot here too! It started on early Wednesday and it continuing through today. I have not gone out, even to take out the trash! I did poke my head out a bit to test it and it was unbearably hot. I am still glad however, that summer is still here and that I do have at least four more weeks of bliss.
Wishing you peace and beauty my friend!
That Greek tortellini salad looks so fresh and yummy. Perfect for this hot summer weather. Stay cool and hydrated. Happy weekend ahead, L
The cake looks delicious. We have heat and humidity here again, today and yesterday.
Thank you so much for including my roulade; I'm sure you will love it as it's a very simple recipe, but tastes fabulous! Very hot here, too! Hoping this heatwave ends soon! Thanks again!
Hope you are staying cool and sampling some of these delicious looking recipes! I am having dinner guests tomorrow night and may try the tortellini salad. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!! xoxo
The heat here is unbearable !!!
We just came home from Hawaii and I thought it was HOT there as well.
Pacific NW is looking better & better………
