LOTS of flowers in the house!

It's Tuesday morning here at the Lakehouse.
My visitors left yesterday late afternoon.
It was a whirlwind of a day.
I cannot even describe how wonderful my day was.

We had a nice lunch, lots of laughs, and as you will see....so many flowers!!!
These Columbines were cut from my gardens.




I brought in quite a few Iris too.

We had oodles of roses!
I had bunches, plus my guests brought some from Laurie's house!
So by the end of the night, I started hanging the ones that were blown, for drying.

I still have some in little pitchers all over the house!


It was only 9:30 pm, but I was pooped.
This old broad was ready to relax.

Aaahhh...the sun porch.
I love being in here on a warm summers night...especially when the mosquitoes are on the hunt for human flesh outside.
It's not uncommon for me to fall asleep out here for the entire night.
Mr. L just turns off the lights, and lets me enjoy the peace and quiet of the Lakehouse.
I had a great time with my visitors. It was worth all of the cleaning I did these past few days. I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
In a few short months, you will understand why.....*wink

    There is nothing that makes me happier than having a clean house, company over, and lots of flowers! So glad you were able to share your beautiful home with friends, and I would sleep on that porch every night!

    I'm so glad to hear you had such a fab day. I can't help but wonder what secret you are harboring.... :-)

    So far I have 2 bunches of roses and 1 bunch of sage hanging and drying. I always think of you when I'm doing that!
