This is my annual lecture/wonderment about zinnias. They are our absolute favorite flower, and so few weddings include the sturdy little characters. Taylor and Daniel got the memo, however! Love!

Taylor really wanted white zinnias for the wedding, and the packet that her mom had for planting was mighty cool and VERY retro. Unfortunately, as does happen in the gardening world, things didn't work out as hoped. We just love zinnias!

They are super beautiful this year. Lots of colors, major largeness and perky faces every day that we walk by them! Happy and sturdy.......Just the way a marriage works and becomes beautiful!

We're excited about having A&E's wedding here! The deposit check is coming to visit and stay for a bit this evening. We're so glad, and we love visitors like that! :) We've been blessed to show the chapel to so many brides and grooms over the last two weeks, and the bookings are mounting! Woohoooo! The little white chapel rides again!

Otherwise, we're keeping the flowers and plants watered and we're ready for Clemente to come back from Mexico, since his talent in making the lawn look great is artistry! I used the new Honda mower to get it shorter for our last wedding, but the look isn't the same as when Clemente does it. He makes everything better!

Well, we've got to run and get some chores done! Blessings to all our brides and grooms and families! Have a wonderful end of the week and a GREAT weekend. Stay cool, get wet and smile!
