Power's Out...Dialing It in! Sorry.

Welcome, friends. 

Happy 602nd Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop!

Sorry! I don't have more to share with you this week or highlight, but as the title reads, my power is out and I'm trying to save my phone battery, just in case we don't get it back on soon.  Thank you for being here, and thank you for sharing all your inspirational posts with us each week. Please link up! I hope to be back with more highlights later so please check back.

Love, love, love Pam's gorgeous tablescape in her beautiful post, "The Blessing Of Easter".

Spring 2023 This and That! (@ the TFT party)

Happy Spring, officially! I hope you all are enjoying these first few days of the new Season.  I’m still recovering from baking and decorating 175 cupcakes for my church! Wonderful cause. My body’s older than it used to be.  LOL 
Welcome back to this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! 
Let’s look at a few of your shares from last week’s party! 
CoCo from the Crowned Goat’s Cottage-Inspired Spring Porch Tour was gorgeous! Her hydrangeas are heavenly.

Happy Almost Spring!!



Happy Almost Spring!! And, Happy 600th Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop! That's a lot of hopping!  Gratefully, I've been hopping with Katherine and you all for the past five years! Time sure flies when you're having fun, eh?!
Only four more days until Spring 2023! Are you excited or sad or just not feeling it yet?

Let's Get Ready To Spring Forward!

Welcome friends!  Are you ready?! It's this weekend! We're Springing forward in the middle of an "atmospheric river" event! Supposedly, starting today and continuing through next week. You know, I still can't ever complain about the rain. First, I love it, and second, we have needed it SO BADLY for so long.   It's exciting to see our green grasses and rivers and lakes filling up again! Okay, back to today and the Thursday Favorite Things party! Always so exciting to join Katherine and all the other wonderful ladies to bring this party to you! Again, you didn't disappoint. 

Look at Shelley from Calypso In the Country's How to Decorate a Tiered Tray (for Tea Time Entertaining) was just too sweet to pass up. Especially, for this time of year!

Hello and welcome sweet friends. Happy March! I'm so glad you are here. I must tell you I am getting so excited for Spring! This wacky Winter weather is a lot of fun though too! Let's just get straight to the party, shall we? I think, judging by your posts shared, you all are a little excited for Spring too!

Goodbye February…Already!

Welcome back for this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! Can you believe next week is March, already?! Meanwhile, we’re bracing for a big storm the next several days. So many mixed emotions for me. I love rain and winter but I’m also super excited to get back into my garden. Let’s look at what you have been up to from last week’s party.

Short and Sweet TFT This Week…

Good morning friends and welcome to our mid-February, still winter, but looking ahead to Spring TFT party! Thank you for sharing all your wonderful link ups! I’m afraid I’ve had a very busy week and have had to keep my features a little less than usual but still exciting to see all your continued, inspiring posts! Wonderful weekend wishes where you are, I hope you’re all getting a little warmer day by day.

I Give up....Happy Valentine's Day Week!

Good morning friends and welcome back to the Thursday Favorite Things party! Well, as the title reads, "I Give Up!" I have decided to embrace all things Valentines because you guys are just too darn creative for me not to! I truly enjoyed all your wonderful links from last week's party. If you missed it, click here to see all the wonderful posts. I'm keeping busy with all my heirloom veggie starts these days and looking forward to Spring more than usual. It's amazing how simple little practices can change your whole perspective.  With that said, I hope you all enjoy a beautiful Valentine's week with those you love around you. Let's look at a few posts that caught my eye last week!

Happy February and Groundhog Day

Good morning and welcome friends!  Well, here we are, February already. And, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so bundle up for six more weeks of winter.   What a weird month February is.  Just 28 days long (but sometimes 29 every four years, which is so random when you think about it) Nonetheless, it’s great to be alive! Grateful for each moment and grateful to have you all here with us for another week of the Thursday Favorite Things party. I’m busy baking and getting everything ready for my Spring garden, there’s actually a lot of work to be done far before planting time, but I’m enjoying and excited about it all! 

Let’s look at a couple post that stuck out to me from last week’s party.

Just like that… It’s February!

Hello and welcome back friends! Can you believe we are just 6 short days away from February 2023?!  My goodness, the older I get the faster it goes! Looks like you all are getting ready for Spring too! I have my seeds all germinated and starting off in the nice warm inside, just waiting and growing for the upcoming Season.  Well, friends, to be honest with you all, I don’t celebrate Valentine’s, but your beautiful offerings were too sweet for me not to share! Let’s take a quick look at a few of your posts shared from last week’s party. 

Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home shared a beautiful post with 14 HEART WREATHS TO LOVE, I especially liked this sweet heart from Lydi Out Loud.

Rains, Winds, Floods, Oh My!

Hey friends, just a quick hello and thank you.  I'm trying to keep everything I can fully charged, as we are in the midst of a historic weather system. Atmospheric Rivers, Bomb Cyclones, whatever you call it, there's a lot of water and a lot of people losing power.  Mine's already flicked on and off a couple of times! Yikes! Luckily, I'm safe and I think we will be okay. I'm going to wish you all a dry, warm week and thank you, once again, for joining us.  

Make sure to pop over and give Katherine some love.   Thankfully, Katherines Corner is Back
