Simple Abundance

Do you have the book Simple Abundance?
 It was published in 1995, and I've stored it under my bed only to pull it out and read it over and over. It has a thought for each day of the year- all related to child rearing, housekeeping, daily living, etc. giving you "comfort"  in what may be a crazy world.

June is filled with home & garden ideas in the book.
 I'll take a few days this month to expound & refresh some of the main concepts in the book. Follow along if you have the book, if not, no worries.

Today is June 14th: Decorating with the Seasons: Summer Houses


Here is my take on "summer houses"...

Porch sitting

Hammock napping.

Garden dreaming

Summer is much more relaxed than any season. Cut an handful of whatever is growing in your yard/garden today & put the vase on your kitchen table. Buy some ivy and shady coleus to put on your porch. We have a round "foot fan" on our porch that is perfect for hot summer evenings. 

Enjoy your summer house & let me know what you do to make it summer-y!

Blessings.
