There were sunny walks and a rainy weekend camping trip. A birthday. An anniversary. Flowers galore. Gardening. Jam making. Baby cuddles and plenty of reading. Laughter and good food. Hydrangeas. Cherries. Pool time.
A month goes by so quickly, yet in looking back I can see how much life was lived in it. Thanks be to God.
Linking to Gathering the Moments at Thinking About Home.
Thanks be to God! Is there anything more true? Great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really good month you had there! So clever to putt all the photos together - I have never figured out how to do that!
ReplyDeleteYes, you summed it up perfectly: "Thanks be to God."
ReplyDeleteI clicked on your collage to get a closer view. How much Mr. F is growing! Such a handsome boy he is! And, of course, the little misses are darling!
Loved these glimpses of one of your favorite months (because it is a summer month, yes?)! Thanks for "gathering" with me...
Thanks be to God, indeed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and so many blessings!
ReplyDeleteYes, grateful for these moments.
ReplyDeletelooks like you had a great month...

What sweet little faces peeking out of that July collage! You also take the best photos of food, too.
ReplyDeleteAckkk also and too? How redundant!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are evidence of a life well lived. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great line ...'looking back I can see how much life was lived in it.'
ReplyDeleteWe do need records to remind us otherwise we forget. Photos, journals, memorials to a life lived beautifully and well.
A lovely way to remember...

Special moments...special memories. Thanks be to God!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see a review and be reminded of all life's adventures.
ReplyDeleteLove your monthly recollections, looks like July was a wonderful month!
ReplyDeleteIt's so sweet *•*
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to capture the fleeting moments that might otherwise be forgotten or lost, Lorrie! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Such beautiful photographs and memories for the month.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about months - they fly by yet so much life is lived in that time!
Love your photos. Those little ones are dear!

Looks like you had a good July. We did, too. But it zoomed by. What will August hold?
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written Lori, and we are all thankful for such beauty.

The months certainly do pass quickly and even quicker the older you get! When I look back I often find it amazing how much can be fitted into a week. Sounds like a very blessed life.

ReplyDeleteYou had an action-packed month!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun month of July for you.. Flowers, birthdays and anniversary.. Lots of wonderful things to celebrate.. Lovely moodboard or mosaic.. Enjoy your month of August and the new week ahead!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good life you've been living, Lorrie. I hope your August is full of good things.

And very much alive, isn’t that what it’s all about?
ReplyDeleteAlive and being aware.
PS ...
ReplyDeleteLorrie, I wanted to let you know that I mention your Gather the Moments post in my own posting the other day, in case you want to take a peek.

Off gathering moments...

Wouldn't it be neat to print an 8x10 like this of each month to go in an album or easier yet to make a blurb book for your year. Sounds easy but I know it still takes time. Your trip to sea looks sooooooo peaceful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful month! Great idea.... I need to do this! Your grandchildren are precious!
