Random thoughts on a brilliantly sunny Saturday morning:
1. Nothing makes me happier than having a tractor show up at my house at 7:30 this morning. My husband and his dad are working in the back yard to pull up old pieces of concrete and install the fence posts.
2. I found the CUTEST lavender topiaries at Walmart this week. They are under $20 and really good sized. I posted them on Instagram stories and several people sent me their Walmart topiaries that were already blooming. I love the smell of lavender and summer.
3. All my littles, my nephews and niece graduated from different grades this year. One graduated from kindergarten. One graduated from 5th grade and one graduated from eighth grade. They didn’t have any graduation ceremonies at their schools, so we had one here just for our immediate family. There were rows of chairs and a podium and a commencement speaker (my brother) and a graduation song composed for the event (my husband) and a master of ceremonies (me). We even had programs and signage for where the graduates were supposed to sit. They walked across the stage (our back porch) and got their graduation certificates.
No flash photography was allowed at the event. 
But we had two really good videographers (the twins).
4. You all were so sweet about the dresser project that I painted yesterday.
I made a video to go along with it. You can see the video here and follow along with my new YouTube channel here.
