THE SUMMER OF THE UNKNOWN

A hello to everyone. The summer as simply flown by so quickly. Well we had no chance to take a trip , the plan was to start on some projects around the place. Our first BIG project was to get a a small pool built . Well needless to say we hit a big snag! Also the fact I still needed to get the second vaccine, so was no way I was heading out anywhere till that was done.

The GREAT Pool project

Yes it was all planned to be done this summer in time for a splash party. Needless to say it came to a grinding halt when the digger hit a old , old tree stump that was buried under the grass . So part of the grass was dug out and part left, It was quite a mess. So plan B is to make it smaller, go with the original idea. or setup in different spot. Options are limited , so will have to see what happens. Such is life.

GARDENING

The spring was so hot this year many plants seemed to wither in the heat

I started some sweet peas to late seemed to grow but no flowers and now they have stopped and leaves are

are going pale and sickly. Sadly no sweet peas this summer.

How was your summer?

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

Favorite things I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023. Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea of shopping my closet or using what I have . Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly. The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again. Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring. The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece. The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents. It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it. ...
