It Was a Perfect Saturday
It really was a perfect Saturday. First it started with snowcones at the little neighborhood pop-up cart that opened last weekend. I went for a coconut and blueberry blend, and my daughter decided on blue raspberry, green apple and coconut swirl (there were about 30 flavors to choose from, so it was tricky to decide).
Even dropping her spoon on the ground wasn't going to stop my daughter...she quickly found a plastic knife in the glove box of our car and gobbled her snowcone up that way! Yum!
Next we headed to our local demonstration garden, rose garden and park where we strolled around, I snapped photos, and we both tried to stay in the shade as much as possible (it was pretty toasty out — thank goodness there was a decent breeze to keep us from melting).
A lot of the flowers were on their way out, but they were beautiful anyhow. I kept reminding myself that the photos I was taking will have to hold me over the upcoming long scorching summer, so I went a little snap-happy and took loads! When it comes to flower photos...I guess you really can never have too many, right?!
How was your weekend? Are you doing anything special for Memorial Day today? I'm headed out to see my family and visit with my sister who just got back from college. I love it when we are all together (almost all of us at least—my other sister will be arriving with her babies and husband next week)! Enjoy your day! xo Ez

The last photo may be the most beautiful photo I have ever seen.
Gorgeous photos! Seed pods are just as beautiful as the flowers. And YEAH! that last one...the falling petals look like a ballerina's tutu in Swan Lake.

Thank you guys so much for your sweet comments! The last photo (the poppies) is my favorite too! Hope you all have a gorgeous day. xo Ez
Poppies are my absolute weakness. I think I just got goosebumps.
That first photo is fantastic and so celestial... the snowcone looks like a colorful planets, and your daughter's skirt a starry sky!
I've been a reader for awhile, but have never commented. So hi! Anyway, love the pictures of the rose garden, especially the one of the bee! And the sno cones look so fun!

These images are simply beautiful. Please don't change the design of your site, it is light, bright and so cheerful - yet understated and elegant. Thank you for creating creature comforts.
Love that last photo! soooooooooo pretty
Your daughter should wear that skirt more often. It makes for some great photos. :)
