It’s the first Friday of the month which means for this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’m linking up with Coco and Deborah for the Ultimate Coffee Date. So grab your fave beverage and let’s catch up!
Catching Up Over June Coffee
Over coffee, I’d start by asking how your weather’s been? Would you believe that we’ve had 11 straight Saturdays of rain – I kid you not! I’m really not sure what Mother N has against Saturdays but it would be nice to finally have a complete weekend of sunshine. Sadly the forecast for tomorrow looks doubtful – hello Saturday #12 🙁
Over coffee, I would tell you how much I have been enjoying being back in my garden. You see last year between the renovation and my angry hip, I wasn’t able to accomplish much and trust me as the winter thawed it really showed! Its been a lot of work but I’ve been happy to be back at it.
Over coffee, I would tell you that one of my favorite Mother’s Day gifts this year was a beautiful fountain pen. I’m a die-hard planner/journal girlie and so I love a good quality pen. My boys picked out a great one, don’t you think?!
What would you tell me over coffee?

I bet you’re happy to be back in your garden! In addition to being able to enjoy the resulting beauty of your hard work, gardening is so therapeutic.
How thoughtful of your sons to pick out such a nice gift they knew you’d appreciate!
Your flowers are so lovely!
What a thoughtful gift! I used to use those ink pens with cartridges back in high school, and it was fun to get different colored ink. Being left handed, I always ended up with smudge. 🙁
What a lovely pen! I’m also a paper planner person. Beautiful gift. We have had so much rain as well. I do think it’s helped our backyard look so good. I know the crazy heat is on its way!
Oh wow- that pen is beautiful. So you actually write in your journal/planner with a fountain pen?
To answer your question, our weather has been hot, muggy, and rainy. Yes, summers in South Florida are lovely! I don’t blame you for being a little annoyed about 11 rainy Saturdays in a row, although I think it’s helped your flowers. Those peonies are beautiful!
Awh, that pen is so thoughtful! Your garden does look nice; I love peonies also. I’m hoping to snag a few (or several) when they go on sale later this season.
Your garden looks beautiful. It must be awesome to be back in it.
Our weather has been unseasonably cool – but you know I’m here for that!
