Buzz for the day...

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

-Anne Frank





It is amazing after several years of drought and watering restrictions here in the South that flowers will still bloom at all. These roses never cease to amaze me. They are planted right outside of my backdoor, and even though the pots on the patio are dead and have been for a while, these gorgeous roses continue to bloom, no matter how much they are neglected. Even through years of drought they perform without hesitation. They were used two years ago in arrangements and little containers that we hung on chairs at my daughters wedding in May. Now, as the leaves are falling and days are beginning to cool off they are still bringing me joy.
So the quote above seemed fitting to share with all of you, as often we need to be gently reminded of the beauty around us.

Happy Birthday today to my dear friend Scrabble. News is, she will also be welcoming a tres' petite Ya-Ya next June. Love you bunches Girlfriend.

If any of you are heading to the Apple Festival in Ellijay this weekend...stop by and see my friend Dana with Old Red Barn Co. She makes the best darn soaps and scrubs out there. I hope she has plenty of "Man Soap" because I need to stock up! You can find her link on this page, so order online if you can't make it to the Apple Festival. I recommend everything she has, but the "Man Soap" is a family favorite.

Have a peaceful and blessed day!
Love,
B
