Celebrating

I wish I could write the adequate words to describe the beauty of this Friday.  The bluest of skies and hot with a nice breeze.  It was a day meant to celebrate. A day to celebrate God.  A day to celebrate His creation!  Every day is a day to celebrate God!

After having coffee on my front porch this morning, my friend Georgia and I decided to go to a few yard sales or garage sales etc.. I wonder if they call them that up North?  Anyway, we had the best time.  The very first yard sale was so much fun.

We bought a few things there and then we made our way around to the other ones we had marked  and bought a few more things. :)   

One of my favorite finds today was a croquet set. We have been meaning to buy one but there it was for 8.00 and I couldn't resist the deal.   We have the perfect backyard for croquet and this family is competitive and I can't wait to beat them Sunday. *wink*

We also went to the Farmer's Market and my favorite lady to buy from was set up today and I bought green beans (which are cooking right now) and they smell so good,  new potatoes and tomatoes. The best tomatoes ever!

We made our way back home and put our stuff up and it was too nice to be inside and I decided we needed to go on a picnic.

We live near a State Park and it is so pretty. You can see a lot of deer in the park if you pay attention. They have many trails to try and picnic shelters, tables, and a campground. 

I packed a picnic, a book, my camera and we headed off for our first picnic of the season. 

You can see the lake from where we picnicked and I had to take pictures.    :)


Nothing but blue skies.




Plenty of dogwood trees throughout the park.


I would love to be on the lake right now.

How pretty is that?!



Thank you God for your beautiful Creation!

YES. Today is a day to celebrate! My iris popped open overnight. What a treat to walk out and see them this morning! The white came out first. :) Can't wait for the purple to make it's appearance!

Hugs to you and GA! Miss you!

Sounds like a wonderful day! The view from the park is amazing. Brings back some sweet memories for me. I'd love to be tiptoeing through those tulips - they are beautiful.

Blessings to you!
