My 5 Favorite Things For Today My Morning Hike
My 5 Favorite Things For Today My Morning Hike






My 5 favorite things for today...
1. My 5 favorite things for today are from my morning hike. One of my favorite things about living in Pennsylvania are our beautiful forests and hiking trails. Its hard to tell from this photo, but those boulders are massive!
2. This leaf-strewn path, and my favorite water bottle. These trails are much prettier in the summer, but still a serene and peaceful hike no matter the season.
3. This is the rock where I stop and sit every time I hike this trail. Sometimes I sit here for a minute or two. Other times I sit here for an hour and just think, and write notes into my phone.
4. This morning on my hike I came across this pyramid-shaped rock art sculpture that someone had built. Its a bit hard to see in the photo, but it was really neat. The center of it was open. I also came across two young white tail deer on my way back down the mountain.
5. "Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky" is a quote from Khalil Gibran.

Enjoy your day!
Love,
Laura

Blooming Today
Blooming Today
My yard and garden have seemed to take a long time to start blooming with the cool off in the month of June. But alas, today I have blooms everywhere. All of our time has been spent completing the chicken house and puting on the final touches (read: paint and flower beds) so things seem weedy to me and I will fix that soon.
This stand of daylilies has been here for who knows how many years. I have thinned them and moved them around but they are so darn crowded that something has to be done again soon. I must say though, they put on a good show when they start. Hundreds of blooms open each day and they really are amazing to see. People see them from the road and often drive in to see them. I am always flattered as I have heard them called ditch lilies many time. These are also what I have as the blog header picture here.
My bleeding heart took a while to rebound after my dog took a nice nap on top of it. It has very few blooms but this is only year two in my garden. The greenery is nice and if I can keep Marley off of it, it should be beautiful next year!
And this pretty pink daylily started blooming today too! I dont know what the name of this is, I actaully dont think it had a tag when I bought it but is is pretty and I cant wait to be able to divide it and add it to other areas in the yard.
And finally the coreopsis. I seem to kill this every time I plant it in my yard so I was thrilled to see it come back nicely. I have tons of babies in the butterfly garden and will transplant those to the island bed on Sunday. I love the punch of color this adds to a mainly green strip so I invite it to grow larger. We will see if I am crying a different tune next year.

My 5 favorite things for today...
1. Today is my daughter Rachels 11th birthday! She is the true animal person of the house, she really has a natural knack for communicating with cats and dogs and all types of animals. Probably because she is so sweet and kind. Happy Birthday Rachel! :)
2. This pressed red glass heart window ornament. I have a small collection of these pressed glass ornaments; a green frog, a cobalt lighthouse, and a purple rabbit are a few of the others.
3. This mosaic birds nest bowl that I made a few years ago is one of my favorite things. Its made from antique china, and has a little bird salt shaker perched on the rim. I love the way it turned out with the nutmeg colored grout.
4. This quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
"Be silly.
Be honest.
Be kind."
I wish more people would be more silly, more honest, and more kind.
5. This Chai tea! Celestial Teahouse Decaf Mountain Chai. I just tried this for the first time and I really like it. Its yum!

Enjoy your day!
Love,
Laura
