Happy July, and welcome to TFT! This is now my SEVENTH year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers!

If you are looking for inspiration and new friends, you have come to the right place. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful blog post via the link up below.

Here’s what I have been up to!

With just 10 days left until school starts, I have been busy cleaning up the garden in anticipation of fall. Between severe deer damage, excess rain, scorching temps and being gone for over 2 weeks in late June and July to Scotland, none of my flowers are thriving. I decided to take a chance and plant one last batch of zinnias in hopes of enjoying some fall blooms. It’s an experiment for sure, but hopefully I will have some pretty blooms to share around fall home tour time!

I apologize for missing TFT last week. My laptop broke and I had to wait for my new one to come in! I desperately needed a new one and I am looking forward to blogging once again with a laptop that actually works! I plan to share a post about Scotland on Saturday!

August Garden Highlights

Here’s a throwback of my late summer garden at the yellow brick home a few years ago. I always like to look back at my old posts for inspiration. Flower inspo never dates in my opinion!

Now here are some lovely features from last week’s party!
