Menu Plan, Cleaning List and Summer Flowers

Summer Flower Inspiration

Hi friends and Happy Fourth of July to those who are celebrating today!  I am enjoying the day with my family and cooking up some great salads, cutting up tons of fresh fruit, and enjoying the spoils of someone else cooking up ribs and chicken on the grill.  The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays, the colors, the sounds, the family and the parades. It is so much fun and can be so much work.  So if you are head chef and entertainer today give yourself a break and ask for some help in the kitchen and when it is time to clean up.   I am also sharing some of my favorite summer flowers and plan to photograph a few today to share as well.  Now on with the lists!

Summer Flower Inspiration

Milieu Design

I loved black-eyed susans and with the all the green foliage you can’t help but want to take a walk and enjoy the view.

As a girl this was my favorite flower, my mom’s good friend had them growing in her side yard and I remember they always bloomed when the political campaign season was in full swing. 😉

 Pink roses peeking throw this adorable white fence, what is not to love?
Pathways
I can’t remember a summer of my youth in the South that did not have the ritual of planting a flat or two of bright pink petunias.
Summer flowers are the best.  If you do not have a place to put a posy or two just buy a bunch, trim them to size and place them in a cute cleaned and empty glass jar.  Summer is all about happy colors and sunshine!
