FAVORITE THINGS and SUMMER SUNDAYS

Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie does a meme every Saturday.  You just show a favorite thing.  Can we ever run out of those?  :)

Do you  have these?  Hypericum or St. John’s Wort.  They spread like crazy, so I just pull them up and plant them all over.  My neighbor is a doc and told me they are used to treat depression.  Maybe we should roll around in them?  No need, they make me happy just seeing them bloom every year.

Some Baby’s Breath and Dianthus…and some silly iris I bought that never bloom.  They have to go!

Some to welcome the mailperson!

Clematis on the arbor, and…

Lilies scenting the air…

Flowers are definitely among my favorite things~

How about a boat ride on a Summer Sunday?

table 4098

Here’s one coming in to pick us up!  Grab your life jacket!  This is the little yacht club for my community.

See the name of the boat on the left?  The owner has a car dealership.  Hence the name, :).  Pat Mille Favoriti…see where it is from??

I am joining The Tablescaper for her Summer Sunday meme.  Please go visit these 2 special bloggers and see what they have for you!

Hope you are all having a wonderful June weekend!

Monday is Flag Day…the emblem of the home of the free because of the brave.

Show your colors…long may she wave :)

Thanks for visiting!

  2. Your yellow flowers are so pretty. I have some iris like that - only one has put out blooms the last few years - Don't know what is going on. My neighbor has a large group of them that has not bloomed the last few years. :(
    Enjoy your weekend.

  6. Kathleen, I just got your question about the marshmallow fondant. It tastes like a marshmallowey candy, although I do add almond. I think you would like it and it is soooo easy and soooo cheap to try. Thanks for visiting. I loved the tic tac toe on the table. We will try that. Love your big shell bowl too. My niece thinks I have too many dishes (not the niece that has a food blog - she understands). I showed her your picture of the trunk, hiding from the dish police. I have to say mine has looked like that and I have conveyed dishes home for a friend that looked like that. We took a photo too. What a fun thing to collect.

  14. They use hypericum a lot in commercial plantings because it fills in so well.
    The clematis is stunning.

  15. Kathleen, your flowers are so pretty. That clematis is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to go on a boat ride, and that looks like such a pretty place to go on one. Thanks so much for linking to Fav. Things and for always being such a fabulous supporter of my little weekly event. laurie

  17. Your flowers are beautiful. And if I close my eyes I can take inthe wonderful scent of the lilacs. They just won't grow down here. But I can remember as a kid always keeping a fresh vase full of them on the table.

  18. love these. What means summer more to a Long Islander than the water?
    Have a great weekend!

  19. Love the St. John's Wort and the fact that it spreads is even better! Your clematis is gorgeous - wish mine were looking like that!
    Will have to check out the other meme, Summer Sundays - don;t think I have heard of that one.

  20. I like those yellow flowers if they grown everywhere. I wonder if they can thrive here, it's so hot. All your flowers are so prety Kathleen....Christine

  23. Such pretty yellow flowers shouldn't leave anyone feeling very depressed!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have zillions of those yellow flowers, and they are so cheery! I just dug up some for a friend yesterday. Just call me, and I'll be right down for a boat ride. Your clematis are looking great!

  25. I haven't seen St. John's Wort before but I agree there pretty yellow blossoms are enough to make me happy too. I'll have to check them out.

    How fun to have a sunday afternoon boat ride as well - hope you had a great day!

  27. I love the clematis on the arbor!!

    and the boating scene is wonderful

  28. I love the clematis and the St. Johns Wort as both are so colorful and make me SMILE. Isn't June the best? Now a boat would be a great addition to any home on the water. Remind me to bring my Jackie O sunglasses and a cute scarf when we go sailing on your boat! It was 101* here today and we could have enjoyed a boat ride. Only shade for me today until the hives are completely gone.

  31. I have the Hypericum/St. John’s Wort. My Mom gave it to me...it does take over so I dig some out each year but I am so glad to learn what it is! The clematis is pretty too!
