Style Scouting

Style Scouting Sunday

How can it be that we are at the midway point in August already?

I am not sure I want summer to end quite yet as I have been taking the time to truly enjoy the lazy days of the season the past few weeks before September arrives.

While taking things slow over the past week – sitting out on my deck daydreaming and thinking about what I plan to do around the house this fall, I found these posts, articles and links inspiring:

    1. Hi Carol – Thanks :-) It is also great to know that you find my site easy to navigate. I have experimented with different blog designs and layouts over the years, but the way I have it now, makes sense to me. So good to hear you think so too.

  8. Hi Diane! It’s been embarassingly too long since I stopped in to say “hi” and thank you for your continued bright spots in the dull of unrelenting virus. Those brilliant flowers in your window made me smile before I was aware I was smiling. Like you, I’m lamenting the postponement of the Magnolia Network’s premiere. Conversely, it’s always great to have something to look forward to…like your entertaining, creative weekly posts. I hope this finds you and Ed well!

    1. Hi Judy –

      So nice to see your name in the comments. Hope all is well for you. Ed and I are well and just plugging along trying to stay positive over these past months. It is the only way to not get depressed about the situation.

      I agree with you that it is great to have something to look forward to. I think the Magnolia channel is going to be worth the wait. :-)
