I skipped last week but I’m back in the floral saddle again. Yeehaw!
The desert sage has bloomed at least three separate times this summer, and every time I swear I’m going to get pictures of the giant purple popcorn balls…and every time I wait too long and all the flowers drop off and they’re just shrubs again.
Still, the few flowers that stay are awfully pretty.
I sure liked this post from Ashley of the Shine Project about what partnership in marriage should really look like. If each of you is giving 100%, everyone’s needs are met and everyone is happy!
And this one from C.Jane is so good. It got me thinking: do I put a cap on David’s happiness? Doesn’t he have as much right to enjoy life as I do? I’ve got a little soul-searching–and probably some talking with him–to do.
And Mikaela, ever the ray of sunshine, says it bluntly and perfectly: Marriage does not suck!
In completely unrelated news, have you seen these famous photo recreations starring John Malkovich? The Mick Jagger one is my favorite, with Ernest Hemingway as a close second.
Also, it seems not everyone is familiar with grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which is a crying shame. Go make one right now. You can thank me later.
It’s going to be a busy weekend for me, between house stuff and church stuff and family stuff and the General Women’s Meeting and experimenting with a peach tart recipe that I’m pretty sure will be amazing. If it is, I’ll be sharing it soon. If not…I’ll probably just make and eat these instead. I lead a hard life.
Happy weekend!
Aww, I'm blushing. 🙂 Also I feel like I haven't been great at commenting lately, since I've been reading from my phone, but just wanted you to know I love reading everything you write! And you are awesome.
Same here. Phone reading changes everything. But I also love reading what you write and I'm glad we are friends. That is all.
