Busy Monday – week of July 8

Hope everyone celebrated the Fourth of July and all that it means to you!

We spent our holiday at home just chillin’– literally and gratefully!    Friends between us and the East Coast were sweltering because of the high windstorms that wiped out power lines.  Relatives in the western part of the country were closely watching wildfires.  In both cases, many folks had to seek alternative shelter.  How would you even prepare for such an event, I wondered.  I came up with 9 checklists to help if evacuation becomes necessary.  Feel free to scroll down to the post below or click here and help yourself to the checklists.  We all hope no one has to use the information, but just in case . . .  a public service announcement : 0)

Featured from last week, a most visited and a couple that caught my eye . . This is the hardest part of my week because there are so many great ideas, tasty recipes and beautiful things linked each week.  Thanks to everyone for sharing here!

Busy Monday – week of June 3

School is out, or almost out or changing rotation.   Gardens are planted or being planted.  Flowers are budding, blooming or begging to be pruned.   Everything is in transition. Change is exciting — and a little demanding — whether it a change in seasons or life.   Even though change is challenging, it brings new things to life and keeps us from stagnating in our own little rut.  Sometimes that change is a new (to us)  idea — so let’s see whatcha got!

From last week — a most viewed and a couple of eyecatchers!
