Sunlit Sunday

This Sunday is the last Sunlit Sunday party for this year hosted by Karen @

 My Little Home and Garden

 I normally join the party through my garden blog Sit With Me In My Garden 

but this year I found myself joining under this blog so I stuck with it.

I invite anyone who follows me to also join me at my garden blog which I am more active with during the seasons of Spring, Summer and Fall

A few days back I did a tablescape with this arrangement as my centerpiece.  The lilies have since opened up and it looks even better than before.

I'm all about flowers

My garden blog reflects that- it's not about vegetables!

 I moved the arrangement around to show more of the flowers.

Seeing the sun beem in on the flowers makes me happy :-)

Love the lemon yellow colored lilies and the miniature roses!

 Thank you Karen for hosting this blog party each year from January through March.  It's a nice happy place to visit and helps remind us to look for a sunny disposition in our lives even when the sun isn't shining!

 Sunlit Sundays

 

Queen for the (weekend) day!

Well, today I am officially one year older.

 *56*

It's been a good weekend.

I've been taken out to eat, and I even got  

Hubby to tour the Ethan Allen 

store and check out some sofas! 

Of course I drooled over a lot of goodies. 

  

A surprise floral arrangement was delivered Saturday 

morning that was from my friend Betty in New Mexico

 (Betty Marie's blog) 

 Love the miniature roses mixed with the Gerbera daisies... 

Thank you again so much!

It's a real pick-me-up during this

late winter and continuing white landscape

that doesn't seem to be going away... and 

  the cutest card from my friend Alycia 

(Tablescapes at Table Twenty-One)

She knows me well! 

Thank you! 

I'm keeping the flowers on the table so I 

can enjoy them!  

 

 I was surprised by our daughter Chelsea with a 

weekend visit and

she made a lemon cake with a blueberry butter cream frosting, and candied lemon wedges that she did herself!   

Isn't it cute- she's getting better and better at this!  If you know me you know I love lemon flavored everything- so I was tickled she made me this!

She used my new gift from my Hubby to make it.

A Kitchen Aid mixer which I have dubbed

"Snow White"

(I'm going to have to get busy and do more baking!)

We also watched the new Les Miserablés movie which we loved.  

So I have been queen for the (weekend) Day!

Small update
I received these lovely flowers from my Son 
and his wife today!

The roses are like antique roses and there are some pale peach flowers that look antique too...very beautiful!

 I love all the different flowers in this arrangement.
Thank you Son and DIL!
