1. Most of my houseplants have taken a summer holiday out on the back porch and patio. They are all so happy and content out there that I didn’t have the heart to bring one back in for an empty spot on the credenza that was calling for some green. Out on an adventure with my mama yesterday, I picked up a trailing ivy which fits perfectly there. There’s always room for one more plant.
2.While walking down an alley on my morning walk with Harry yesterday I stumbled across a patch of sunflowers. There was a pair of scissors hanging on a cyclone fence with a little sign that read “Please cut me!” So that’s just what I did.
3. A deck of cards lives on the dining room table these days for impromptu games of Flip(also known as Golf) and Trash. I may be a little addicted.
4.On the same morning walk with Harry, I spotted a hedge of hydrangea in full bloom along the play ground. There were no scissors hanging nor a sign inviting to pick. I did anyway.
5.During these dog days of summer, the pantry is well stocked with bottles of tonic and seltzer.
6. I found that antique hanging soap dish last week at a fair. I have always wanted one but I’ll have to wait for the cool days of autumn for a hot soak. Nothing but cold showers these days.

I found the rules for the card game Trash, but I can’t seem to find the rules to the card game Flip. Could you please share a link?
amy says
I just added links. When looking up the rules I realized that what my girls refer to as Flip is actually called Golf:)

Your house is like a warm blanket in the middle of winter.
