I Love Dahlias!

 I do love flowers and right now the dahlias are absolutely beautiful!  Here are a few pics of dahlias and sunflowers!  Hope they brighten up your day:)

It's July! How Time Flies!

Today was a beautiful day here in Michigan with plenty of sunshine.  I have been helping out my daughter with her flower business and today I did some weeding and watering.  This has been a challenging summer weather wise with drought, hail, too much rain at times and some strong winds.  But there have been beautiful flowers too.  We are so blessed every day by God's beautiful creation!  Enjoy the beautiful colors of these flowers. :)

Holly Centerpiece

My husband and I planted about 20 holly bushes a number of years ago and they (finally!) are big enough to prune out some branches to use for decorating.  While helping with getting the hoop house up I saw those holly bushes and decided to cut a few branches for an outside display. I put them in the garage to work on them later (hopefully!). On Thanksgiving Day with the dinner almost ready I decided I needed a centerpiece so using the holly, a few spruce branches and a Magnolia pitcher I was ready.  I still need to do my outside display.  Maybe tomorrow?? Have fun looking for greenery for making your porch pot this week. :)

Hello. again!

Hello from Michigan!  It is the beginning of a new month and another new beginning for my blog At Home!  I'm hoping to have an instagram for At Home as well.

Today I'm sharing some of the beautiful fall colors of Michigan.  The colors have been amazing this year.  God has given us such beauty:) 

What can we say about such wonderful things as theses?  If God is for us, who can ever be against us?    Romans 8:31

Flowers

Although we are in the middle of winter with snow on the ground when I am searching for something on the computer it is so nice to come across a beautiful flower picture.  Here is one I came across today:

So many beautiful colors and varieties!  I hope this is a day brightener for you! :)

Busy as a bee!

Just a fun picture from yesterday's sunflower picking!

Dahlias!

This is our first year with a larger quantity of dahlias.  We still have lots to learn and we are definitely favoring certain varieties.  Here are a couple of pictures:

More to come:)
