Here are some of the highlights:

Hearthstone Bistro

Pronto Pups

Planetarium at MCC

“These are a few of my favorite things…”

May Flowers

In honor of my late father’s birthday this week, I stopped by my local greenhouse to pick up a few of of our favorite flowers.

My dad loved flowers and made sure I had several planted at my new house. Maybe this will be the summer that I’ll have Hydrangea and Peony blooms of my own!

This felt like a nice way to honor him and celebrate his birthday this year.

Gone but never forgotten. Always in our hearts.

I am loving these tulips that I picked up around Valentines Day! There is just something about a bouquet of tulips that makes my living room feel so fresh and ready for spring!

You can never have too many tulips, right!?
