I was on a walk the other day and discovered that a neighbor was getting rid of a pile of bricks! So I quickly walked back home and got my car to transport over 200 bricks back to my house! I had asked the Lord for 100 to do a project and he gave me twice as many!

Have you heard of "Yard-long beans" or "Asparagus beans"? That's what I'm growing on my arch on the back side. I just have to pick one or two for dinner! They are delicious! I love how they sway in the wind like wind-chimes!

I love the soft colors of late summer. Autumn serum, hydrangeas, sage, and helichrysum make a beautiful bouquet.

I can't get over how stunning this arch looks covered in black-eyed susan vine! I love seeing it every day as I look out my front door.

I discovered I don't need a table to do potting. I can just use a tablecloth on the floor. It's actually easier to cleanup and more motivating to put away when I'm done!

This morning I made 8 bouquets for my flower cart. I gave myself the challenge if making them one by one being inspired by individual gardens. Usually I pick everything that's blooming first, then arrange them in assembly style fashion. I liked this slower more thoughtful way. I ended up with more unique bouquets!

My plant room got a makeover! I now actually have room to sit and enjoy being in there! My friend Therese gave me this perfect devotional book, Playing in the Dirt, to read while I'm drinking my morning tea in the plant room. Aaah!

I also have a dedicated space to get my Etsy shipments ready to go out! Yay! Less clutter in the living room now!

I love how the black-eyed susan vine has grown up over the arch outside my door. It makes me smile. :) I think I'm going to do this from now on! I've seen this vine in different colors as well, so maybe I can change the color up each year!
