Hello blog friends.
It seems like the summer is in full swing. June flew by so fast and I can't believe that next week will be July!
I have my Friday Favorites - June Edition:
I seem to read more books in the summertime than I do in the winter. I like to sit in my yard and read books with a cool drink. I recently read the book, The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi.
I bought this book at Costco and it looked like an interesting read since it's a Reese Witherspoon Bookclub pick. I didn't like this book at first since it had a slow start but once I got into reading the book I found that I liked it. This is book 1 of 2: The Jaipur Trilogy.
Did you read this book and like it? What book are you reading?
I did't plant as many veggies this year as I have in the past. I've tried to grow tomatoes in container pots and I hardly get any tomatoes. I used to plant them in honor of my father and father-in-law who both had success with growing tomato gardens. This year I planted romaine lettuce, two pepper plants, basil, and flowers in my yard. I've already made a few salads with the lettuce I've grown. It's always nice to have a fresh salad from the garden.
I like taking evening walks from time to time with Bosco. I enjoy looking at the pretty flowers that my neighbors grow. I spotted pretty roses and pink hydrangeas on my walk one evening.
I am finishing up with crocheting another Appa for my daughter's friend for her birthday. I like to call the Appa's twins and I'm glad to be almost done with working on this project.
The colorful sweater seen below was crocheted for my daughter by a talented crochet designer from depop. This colorful sweater was also worn by Harry Styles.
I might crochet a granny square sweater seen below, as I am now inspired to make a colorful sweater.
Now that the pandemic is almost over I have been going back to the nail salon for my manicure/pedicures.
I recently saw on Ann's blog Our New Vista that she did her own gel manicure look at home using this Gelous Advanced Nail Gel Coat. I am inspired to try it out for myself to see if it works without using a UV light.
Just a little reminder that Blogger will be doing away with Feedburner in July. I had my new email subscription service set up by Linda at Life and Linda with MailChimp for a small fee. You can see my new email widget form located on my sidebar. There are other email subscription services available and a few blogger buddies Living on Cloud Nine and Our Life in a Click are using follow.it. You can read a helpful blog post that Linda did on Feedburner here.
Look who I found hiding under the table! Bosco loves this hiding spot.
You might have seen some of these photos on my Instagram feed. You can follow me on Instagram at @brklynhousewife to see my latest photos. You can follow me using the Instagram symbol on my sidebar. I hope to see you on Instagram!
I hope you have a happy Friday and weekend.
