Backyard Late Summer Savoring

I have been spending time recently

savoring our  late SoCal summer

in our backyard.

Slowing down to literally stop and smell the roses and savor nature's beauty.

My gardens are in full bloom

and

 this summer's garden work 

is now showing beautifully!

I have been feeling pulled in so many different directions recently

only because there are so many things I want to be doing ...

and 

accomplishing.

So I am feeling a need to really slow down

and 

truly get my life in order.

Make some choices of how I really want to be filling my time.

I am happiest when my house and gardens are in order

and 

I make gratitude for my life an intention.

How wonderful are these  doves outside my kitchen window!

A perfect reminder to slow down and take in all the little beauties to be found in a day!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
