FRIDAY FAVORITES.....STARS & STRIPES SORT OF

Whoohoo, it’s FRI-YAY! I’m celebrating because yesterday, the Dr. got all the stupid squamous skin cancer cells and it’s just a matter of healing now with the stiches. Hopefully the scar won’t be too bad but so happy to have it DONE!!

I’m calling this the Stars and Stripes edition with this sweater in case you want to get a jump on something cute for Memorial Day and the 4th, but no need to rush it. Heck, it’s going to be so cold here in Indiana, flowers are once again covered and anymore pool days look faaar off.


1. Potting Bench

With my love of flowers, of course I have always wanted a Potting Bench! I got this one from Yaheetech and it is so nice. My sweet son put it together and it’s adorable. It’s also very functional. There’s even a spot on the side with hooks to hold my gardening tools.

 

It has Spacious working/storage space: Measuring 112x46cm/44.1x18.1" the large tabletop covered with galvanized metal sheet providing a corrosion-resistant and ample placing/working/crafting space. Apart from the drawer under the tabletop, the slatted shelf and the roomy cabinet at the bottom offer open storage and enclosed space to satisfy various storage needs.

BABY ROBIN'S

Remember Last Week I showed you the robins’ eggs? Well, those sweet babies hatched last weekend and I caught them very very hungry. I got away quickly so mama could come feed them!


AZALEA

Why oh why don’t azaleas bloom longer? This one bloomed its beautiful orchid color this week, but it will be gone before you know it. Such a shame with such a little bloom time on these beauties!


BLEEDING HEART

I also showed you my bleeding-heart plant on Instagram last weekend. Many of you have never seen one before. This is the first year that it has really thrived. So many blooms and they actually look like hearts bleeding out the bottom.

MEMES


MY MOM

Lots of hugs have been giving to mama the past couple weeks since I have been able to hug her again after our vaccinations and best of all, she will spend Mother’s Day at our House for Chinese and maybe get in a walk. Restaurants will just be too crowded and it’s too cold for alfresco dining. BUT look how beautiful she looks. I gave her this Elfrida Smokey Quartz ring from German Kabirski early but can’t wait to shower her with love on Sunday. She is a sweet gift to me and all who know her. I think part of my struggles turning 50 last month is the overwhelming mortality of my parents, my extended older family and my sweet Mr. Nine. I can’t bear it, so what I will do is treasure every second I get to spend with them. My mom and I can once again enjoy outings, shenanigans, beach days, etc and you can bet, I’ll hug her every time we part!! 


Happy Weekend my friends!! 
Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's, aunts, grandmas', fur moms, friends, mentors....no matter happy or sad, near, far or in heaven, may sweet memories and LOVE surround you! 

Linking up with  Friday Favorites  // Metamorphosis Monday

  17. Happy Mother's Day to you and your sweet mom! I agree about azaleas. That potting bench is so nice, you will get a lot of use out of it. I can see you styling it too! Aww those baby robins, so adorable. That sweater is the perfect summer sweater!

  18. That patriotic sweater is so cute!! It is so good you go to the dermatologist, but it isn't fun when they find something... but, still better than the alternative!! I've been trying to get my hubby to go to the dermatologist, he has never been. I love baby birds this time of year! Happy Mother's Day!

  26. My father passed away last week after a 7 week battle with lung cancer. I'm telling you this because when I had night dad duty, you blog was one I could read and know that I'd be uplifted. Thank you for providing an escape for me during those long nights.

  28. So good to be preventive about things, rather than the alternative. Glad things are taken care of.

    Love your patriotic outfit too! For the past two years, I've looked around for red shoes to wear for Valentine's Day, which would also be perfect for 4th of July, and I haven't had any luck finding a pair in stores, or my usual online shopping outlets.

    Sharing that Cinco de Mayo meme with my mom - she'll love it. Haha!
