Happy sunny Saturday from the Mitten! ☀️ Can Happy sunny Saturday from the Mitten! ☀️ 

Can anyone tell me what this beautiful yellow flower is? 🌸 I thought it was a decorative vine in my pot…but I guess I was wrong. 

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

My sweet family will also be celebrating Father’s Day! I’m so excited to spend the day with my sweet grand girls, kids and Big Al. 💖

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

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