BRINGING IN THE "GREENS"!!

Hi friends….each year I head out with a bag, snips and usually one reluctant family member to do one of my favorite things…"COLLECT THE GREENS"…here's a look at a few of the things I have done with them…and since there is still a pile of branches filled with greenery on my porch, there will be more to come…Happy Decorating!!












(my hubby snapped this pic to send to my friend because they love to tease me about how happy I get during my annual collecting…)

I'll be back with a few more ideas of how to display your fresh, (free)…lol…greens!!

SEAGULLS OF LBI...

Hi friends...as annoying as these "beach birds" can sometimes be, I captured them in a peaceful beautiful moment....perched on our dune fence, waiting for a new day to get started...


HAPPY SUMMER!!

Good morning friends....I know I've shared similar photos before, but I can't help myself...I took these photos of the sunrise 2 days ago....it was a glorious, crisp & clear morning...take a look and enjoy!!
I knew it was going to be a beautiful sunrise when I was greeted with this lovely pink hue while crossing our pathway...
















I hope you all enjoy every second of what is left of summer!!
