Can anyone tell me what this beautiful yellow flower is? ๐ŸŒธ I thought it was a decorative vine in my potโ€ฆbut I guess I was wrong. 

We had heat in the 90โ€™s and crazy wind the last couple of days. Because of that, Iโ€™ll be spending part of the morning dead-heading my flowers. 

My sweet family will also be celebrating Fatherโ€™s Day! Iโ€™m so excited to spend the day with my sweet grand girls, kids and Big Al. ๐Ÿ’–

Today on the blog Iโ€™m sharing my Mitten Moments. All those wonderful moments from my week! So stop on by. Iโ€™ll be waiting for you! 

Whatever you have on the agenda, I hope your day is amazing!
