Can’t let summer get too far in without making a report on this year’s garden.  And thank God for the garden!  With all this staying home, it has been my salvation.  It’s really been keeping me busy these past few weeks and looks like it will continue to do so for a few more weeks.  2020 may have wreaked havoc in many parts of our lives, but it sure has been a great year for the garden!

I’m linking up with Erika and Shay today for their monthly “Let’s Look” series.  Obviously, we’re looking inside our purses.  When it comes to purses, I’m not one to spend a lot of money.  I also don’t change out my purse very often.  For that reason, I usually go for a neutral color.  It’s not unusual for me to employ the same purse for years at a time.  You got that right…YEARS.
