A few random thoughts on a sunny Saturday morning:
1. I have a new favorite soap scent (sorry Lemon Verbena). It’s Honeysuckle from Mrs. Meyer’s. I cannot even with it.
2. I’m an official glass half-full person. Especially when it’s a soap dispenser filled with that soap. I talk so much with my hands that I smell it all day long.
3. Have you heard about the new musical Come From Away? It’s about ordinary stories of heroes from 9/11. Has anyone seen it?
4. We have a treehouse in the back yard. I’m thinking about taking a book with me and a glass of sweet tea and spending the afternoon there. #justincaseyouwerewonderingwhatimdoingtoday
5. Number 4 could be filed under #justincaseyouwerewonderingwhatimdoingtoday

What could be better than Thistlekeeping on a sunny Saturday morning ( or afternoon )? I laughed about #4 - because when I was a child that was where I tried to hide to read a book and avoid chores! It wasn't successful, but I always tried. Thank-you for another spectacular Thistlekeeping to provide endless enjoyment.
Looked all your pins, they were great!! Most were great a few were I can leave it. Father's Day ideas were cute, loved the one were it spelled out Father vertical., I'm so into gray right , sounds wired I know ? Mostly the lighter shade. Have an awesome day!!!
I got stuck on the part where you're reading a book in a treehouse. Sounds like such an incredibly lovely way to spend an afternoon! If I ever have a she-cave, it will be in a treehouse and I think I would like it all blue and white like that beautiful sun porch of yours.
