One of my favorite Cape Cod vacation traditions is going to Sprout Farm for fresh vegetables. And I always pick up a sweet little bouquet when I’m there, too. Truthfully, I would rather have a bouquet of zinnias and sunflowers and marigolds than any fancy rose bouquet!

You’ll be glad to know my to-do list is shrinking and I hope to bang out all of the major things I need to accomplish today. Send good thoughts and wishes! And happy weekend, friends.

Today I have a beautiful sunset from our vacation last week to share with you. We’ve off for a last hurrah on the Cape before we buckle down next week and get back to regular life and routines.

Here’s to making the most of the last long weekend of summer!

This hibiscus got off to a slow start but now that it’s blooming it’s going great guns with a new blossom (or two or three) every day it seems. I love it’s vibrant color and it makes me smile every time I pass by, which I do frequently since it’s positioned at my back door.

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for the weekend! Let’s hope it’s a good one!

Gorgeous hot pink lilies from Farm Day last weekend. You can expect more photos of this event on Monday because I am (for once) planning ahead and prepping that blog post. You know what that means, right? I am anticipating a weekend full of so much fun and goodness that I won’t have time to write a post about it until it’s over.

I hope your weekend is full of fun and goodness, too!

The tall phlox is just lovely right now and I’m so thankful for it since most everything else in the perennial bed is looking a little, well, spent. On Wednesday I made the extra effort and got out the big camera and took some photos so I could share the loveliness with you all. It’s easy to just snap away with the iPhone but there are times when the Canon is really the key.

And here we are looking at the weekend. Make an extra effort to have some fun, won’t you?
