Well, Happy Friday!
The rain has sure made itself at home this week around here. I keep watching the rocks in my flower beds....to make sure they don't float away! LOL. 😁
I am thankful for the rain! The grass is green and my flowers are blooming. I did give them a big pep talk about how good the rain is for them. lol 😊 Truthfully, this rain has helped to wash away a lot of pollen! Thank goodness!!
We have a big weekend ahead, and I'm praying the sun gets the memo, and decides to show up and show off. This Saturday is PROM weekend for our sweet Mylee, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for dry skies and a golden-hour of sunshine to capture the sparkling dresses and big smiles.
Saturday morning, I will be working on her prom bouquet.....I'm planning on using some light pink roses with a mix of different greens and a hint of baby's breath.
On Sunday, we will be celebrating two of my great nieces, who will soon be graduating High School. I can remember when they were playing in the yard with bows bigger than their heads, and now they will soon be tossing their caps in the air. A big reminder that time doesn't wait, but it sure does give us plenty to celebrate.
I've got my umbrella in one hand and my camera in the other.....Cause rain or shine, we are going to make this weekend sparkle......
I am claiming the weekend's forecast to be 100% fabulous!!
Have a good one today!
Shug...
I'm glad that you've been keeping an eye on the rocks to make sure they don't float away. It seems that you've had quite a bit of rain lately.

ReplyDeleteRain is always a good thing. I do hope Mylee has a wonderful Prom, and one to be remembered. The bouquet you are making sounds sweet. Love that picture of your nieces. Wishing them both a fun day on their high school graduation. The flowers are starting to bloom here also. It should be a good weekend. You have an uplifting attitude, dear Shug.
