Hello Hello!!

Good morning! How was your holiday? I was lucky enough to be asked again to my friend Pat's house for her annual 4th of July brunch.

Pat is so great! She puts a tremendous about of time into making this the event of the summer! From the sidewalk you can see she's totally into the summer spirit, and that's carried throughout her home. Of course if I was a better photographer, you'd see much more of her home, but sadly I am not. Maybe next year!

(Doesn't this look like it came right out of Country Living?)

I love her backyard, I just have a thing for sweet old fashioned outdoor spaces and Pat's is all that and more. I have no trouble imagining my cup of coffee out back there, and in fact enjoyed several delicious cups while there.

To me Pat's home is just exactly what you hope a home is, warm and cozy, comfortable and filled with love.

Thanks for having me Pat! I appreciate that you always include me in THE EVENT of the summer season!

Now today is Pat's day to celebrate Christmas in July, so head on over and check it out! I know it's going to be good!
