Our day started with overcast skies and cooler temperatures. We even got a little rain.
My water lilies and several other flowers waited for the sun to come out, but we enjoyed a break from the 100+F temperatures.
I baked a Blueberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake for breakfast. Then, in the afternoon there was a surprise trip to a water park.
Thinking ahead to this week, we are having friends over for dinner on Wednesday and a houseful for the 4th of July. What do you have going on this week?
That coffee cake looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteI have a newsletter due for our ladies' group at church plus my mother-in-laws birthday to shop for this week.
I've been hearing from friends down there about your 100+ degree temps . . . and I do NOT miss it at all! LOL Glad you got a reprieve today.
ReplyDeleteOur church is joining with another church for a Canada Day picnic and joint Wednesday evening service in the park.
We have had a cool front come through Nebraksa! And that's great because our FL relatives are arriving on Weds. for a 7 day visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli, yummy looking coffee cake.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to the houseboat a couple of times this week and the 4th we're having a bar-b-que, earlier in the day we will be going to our community parade...have a great week, it's sounds like it will be a fun one..hugs, Linda
Hi Kelli! Tomorrow I am going fishing with my husband....the first time in many years. Wednesday and Thursday we are keeping our granddaughters so their parents can go away for a night at the coast. Saturday we are going to a community parade and later there will be a BBQ at the home of my son. Pretty full week for me.
ReplyDeleteLove, Debbi
Yummy coffee cake!!
ReplyDeleteWe will be heading out to a girl scout camp site for the weekend. We are having 109 degree weather (BLECH), and are excited to escape it for a few days!
The water lilies look beautiful, the coffee cake yummy and Praise God for cooler temperatures this week here too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Everything looks so lush. And the coffee cake looks devine!
ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteHow refreshing your blog is each time. I love the little recipe.

My plans include eating that yummy looking cake...oh, wait, it is only a picture, darn!
ReplyDeleteThat coffee cake looks yummy. I have some blueberries in the fridge. Might have to try to find a recipe.
ReplyDeleteyummy coffee cake. your home is beautiful. i follow your blog on google reader and i love reading your entries each morning. enjoy your lovely weather.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I don't see that recipe in the sidebar. So, will you share it with us?
ReplyDeleteIt looks yummy! I love blueberries. We never had them when I was growing up. I don't know why except maybe they wouldn't grow on a sandstone mountain. We had Blackberries and they are good but I don't like the seeds. I have to remember to buy some blueberries to freeze while they are plentiful and inexpensive.
Enjoy your week,
Mama Bear
I can't imagine 100 temps! We're lucky not to get that hot, but on the shore here it is humid alot.
ReplyDeleteThe coffee cake looks wonderful.

Coffee cake looks good. Taking care of a lot of odds and ends (paper work mainly). Don't know about the 4th just yet - waiting to see if company is coming.
ReplyDeleteGlenda
Sounds like fun. The coffee is ready at my house if you will bring the cake!
ReplyDeleteHey Kelli! I love that first picture...so very pretty. Today is Maddy's birthday so we'll be having fun with that, doing school,
ReplyDeleteand hopefully hitting the beach again, and watching fireworks from the boat!!
Hope yours is a good one!!
HUGS,
Becky
Ummmm that like sooooo good!! And your water lillies and flowers are BEAUTIFUL!!! Have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteLove, Madison
Beautiful waterlillies and I love that pot !!!
ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so delicious, we will have to try that here ; )
Have a great day !!!
I love your Lily pond. Our 4th is going to be very quiet:) Just a family BBQ:) My little girl does not like the fireworks, the loud noise always scares her. I know we can see the works from a look out in my neighborhood, so we will try that, and hopefully the noise won't be too bad.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy 4th Kelli.

Oh, I have a Blueberry/Cream Cheese Coffee Cake that I love and haven't made in a LONG time. Thanks for the reminder. We have 2 birthday's this week (youngest yesterday and oldest on Saturday) so we've been celebrating. I also need to decide what we're taking to friends on the 4th and prep what we're taking to the Church Picnic on Sunday. Whew!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful! I'm glad you're getting to enjoy your summer!
