Rainy Day Fort Building {Mingle Monday July 16th}

  Fort building is a right of childhood, don’t ya think? I remember building forts out of old cardboard boxes, pillows, chairs, underneath the dining table, and yes, sometimes even underneath my bed.

Hydrangea Lovin’ {Mingle Monday}

  My Grandmother always had the most beautiful hydrangea bushes near her porch. As I would run past on my way to her door, blue snowflakes would seem to fall from the heavy globes forming a varying blue blanket on the ground.
