Tuesday Treasures.....and Time With Amber

Today was a very special Tuesday!

Amber and I spent some time together doing what we love to do .....

take in a movie!!

Not just any movie, either!

The Avengers Endgame!

We were at a theater that serves restaurant food so I had a fancy Chipolte Pineapple margarita and an equally fancy chicken and avocado salad while Amber tried some spicy sliders and rosemary fries.

It was SUCH a fun day!! I loved every minute!

It was such a long movie that we went straight from the theater to pick the kids up from school.

They are happy to share their leftovers from lunch with me and today I had leftovers of my lunch to share with them!

I came home before the heavy afternoon traffic, stopping in at Goodwill on my way.

I found some really cool treasures!

Once I had some clay pots but I think that was before my house burned.

Now I have another one.

I love that honeybee jar! 

What with the one Summer gave me for Mother's Day, I am getting a collection!

Louis Dean looks like he's modeling my super cute top!

I have an Italian lace jacket that will go with it perfectly!

I still haven't changed out my closet to spring and summer so I can't get to it yet.

Maybe tomorrow!

Isn't he adorable??

He spent much of the day in bed resting and napping.

He pushed hard yesterday and had to catch up on his rest today.

We sat outside under the gazebo skeleton with a glass of wine and admired the Seven Sister roses around the back pond. Louis Dean ordered them online something like 6 years ago.

They bloomed well once and then just a few blooms over the next few years. A couple of years not at all. Looks like this is going to be a good year for the roses.....and honeysuckle.

I know honeysuckle can be considered a weed but I dearly love it. 

It is the scent of summer to me.

It's growing well on the tall fence between us and Stephanie and spills over onto her side as does our trumpet vines.

Every evening I go out before dark and pull up a bag full of weeds from the flowers beds.

It's not all really weeds......mostly honeysuckle and mint. 

Keeping it away from the roses is important.

I try not to look at all the beds that need weeding and mulching and tending.

I just look at one bed at a time and move on from there.

Otherwise I just get so overwhelmed.

I close this evening's journal entry with a sad heart.

Summer's good friend, Andy, passed away late this afternoon.

Andy was a good man and Summer loved him.

Summer threw a bag together and went down to Waco to be with the family.

I'm praying for all the family and friends - and he had many.
