Soft September Morning up North

Top of the week everybody!

I was busy this weekend with a trip to Grand Rapids to see our daughter. She had surgery about 10 days ago for female related issues and has been resting up. We visited a bit, went out for dinner and then returned home. That's a 180 miles each way!

So we've made the transition from August to September this weekend!

For us up north here it's still summery outdoors, but we can sense a change in the climate. Our nights are cooler and there's a dew on the deck every morning. My Limelight Hydrangeas are blooming like crazy. I tiptoed outside early this morning to cut a bunch. I love these because they start out with a very light lime color and work their way to a soft white as they mature.

This is one of the easiest Hydrangeas to grow. They never disappoint me!

I cut them from just off the back deck area. I snapped this late in the evening with my cell phone a few days ago.

There was a wonderful dappling of the sun on the table so I put together a quick vignette. I didn't have much time to create it since the sun doesn't stay very long I had to hustle!

On a recent trip to Petoskey I spotted this little appetizer plate at the neatest little boutique decorating shop. At first I thought it was a flying pig....LOL..
