Sweet friend & flowers ;)

I received this lovely gift of flowers from a friend this week and have been blessed by the simple beauty everyday!!

Then we had a sweet surprise of a dear friend and mentor dropping in overnight on her way to New York!

 

We had a precious and fun time catching up together...

She is so sweet!! 

 And speaking of flowers, this little man planted and harvested his very own first flower and he was so excited!! 😍

Four wheeling and swimming summer fun! Last summer hurrah!!

We gathered all the friends and had a great day of swimming, four-wheeling and picnic-ing!
