A Marvelous Monday

Yippee, today was a pleasant day, comfortable temps and humidity, but....the heat and humidity will return as the week progresses.  Enjoy it while we can.   My husband's sister, Mary Jo, is in town for a short visit and we have been lovin' sitting on the back porch, sipping cold drinks, and catching up on all the news.  She is so fun and we have always enjoyed each other's company, love her as tho she was my own sister, not sister-in-law. 

Mary Jo and Gary each have those same beautiful blue eyes and a love for each other that just nuzzles my heart. 

Today's entry for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday

I took Mary Jo to the French Market on Saturday and we came home with these chin-drippingly juicy cherries, along with red cherries that I dripped all over my new white knit shirt while stuffing them into my mouth, more peaches, cheeses, and plenty of fresh veggies.  Love that place. 

The sunflowers are in bloom, aren't they just exclamation-point exceptional!!!  Today at Picture Summer the prompt was to create a triptych that told a story...the bud, the flower, the remains - life cycle of the sunflower, gorgeous in all stages.  Used a template to create this triptych from the coffee shop blog...many, many freebies, check it out. 

Hope you had a wonderful day, I did.
