Mitten Moments

It’s the first weekend of the summer season! I hope you are enjoying yours so far! My Mitten Moments is full of good summer shares this week.

But first…

When was the last time you had a garage sale? It’s been about 11 years for me. I participated in my son’s subdivision garage sale this weekend. It’s a great excuse to unload some of my stuff and get some snuggles from my beautiful grandgirls!

Honestly, I went for the snuggles!

I’m very excited to report that my flowers are doing great so far this season. My friend Jennifer from Cottage on Bunker Hill sent me a variety of seeds and some of those are also starting to come up. It was so windy the day I planted them and I’m convinced they aren’t all in a nice even row.

Time will tell!

Do you have Sirius XM in your car? If so, do you listen to The Bridge – channel 17? It’s so good and gives me all the feels. Tune in if you already haven’t. You might hear something you haven’t heard in a long time.

Big Al and I have seven weddings between now and October! Here we are at our first one, last week.

Next week I’m hosting my first book club gathering and I can’t wait! A little secret…I have to finish up my book this weekend. I promise I’ll be done and ready! You can read how I am doing it in 7 Easy Ways To Host A Book Club.

In case you’re wondering, we are reading The Maid by Nita Prose. Have you read it?

So far, so good!

This Week On The Blog

Here in the Mitten, it’s felt like summer for more than a few days. We were in the 90’s most the week. On Tuesday I gathered with some of my blogging buddies to brings you some of our fun summer moments. It’s always a good time when we hop together! If you missed it, I shared Seven Amazing Ways To Have A Memorable Summer, on the blog.

    When I first read the post I thought you said you had 17 weddings, not that 7 isn’t a lot. You look beautiful in this dress!
    Molly is AMAZING! I am so excited she started a blog!
    Love all of the links.
    Good luck with your zinnias, I planted them for the first time this year and it is a battle to keep the deer from earring them.
    Have a great week.

    Beautiful flowers! My garden is sparse this year, life gets in the way sometimes. So I’m enjoying friends, and public gardens this year! My wildlife liked to eat my zinnias also, maybe they were too pretty. Had at least 4 varieties, looked like a bouquet. Excited and nervous about the wedding and remembering everything. Had a dream I forgot my dress. It is hanging by the back door…
