hollyhocks...

 The hollyhocks are blooming!
Aren't they just lovely?
Such an old-fashioned flower - in the best possible sense.
 
 When I went out to snap these pics it was so humid my lens kept fogging up!
I think it gave the photos a rather pleasing softness though.
 
 Every time a walk past these beauties I find myself singing "Hollyhock, hollyhock, oh holly hollyhock!" to the tune of Lollipop. haha! ;)

What do you have blooming?

Yet again
life is keeping me busy.
Seems to me this Summer will be quite a full one.
No completed projects here.
Plenty of plans & ideas.
Yet no time to bring them to fruition.
If only I were a better planner.
{Adds that to ever-growing list of things to do. Then scoffs.} ;)
I hope you're all having a splendid June thus far.
I know I sure am.

this summer...

I think it's pretty universally accepted that Memorial Day marks the first day of Summer.
{Well, at least it does in our family!}
It could be that or the Beach Boys tunes I've been enjoying lately that are putting me in a summertime frame of mind.
 
So, here's how I plan to have "Fun, fun, fun!" this summer:

Have some fun in the sun with my friends...

 Go berry pickin'!
Then make something delicious with the little gems...
