Celebrate the Small Things is a weekly celebration created by VikLit and now hosted by Lexa Cain to celebrate the happenings of the week, however small or large. You can learn all about it and sign up for it here. 
Today I’m celebrating a blog tour stop with my wonderful CP and fellow author, Kari Jo Spear. We’ve been friends forever, and she always helps me keep my stories on track. I’m sharing my Writer’s Legacy for My Children. Hope you get a chance to stop by!
I’m also celebrating — Flowers!
For the first time ever my peonies bloomed!

I have a lot of gardening work I need to do, but it’s nice that flowers blossom even when they don’t get weeded regularly. 🙂
Don’t forget to stop by Kari Jo’s place!
What other celebrations are going on out there?

Those are beautiful flowers. I’m glad we left all ours in pots this year. Makes it easier to water.

Nice flowers! Not celebrating today 😦 Another referendum with the wrong answer! For me, anyway……

Thanks! I was shocked when I read the referendum results. I can’t imagine the benefits of leaving the EU will outweigh the negatives.

Me neither! And I can’t imagine we’ll get a good exit agreement. They’ll want to make an example of us.

So pretty! Thanks for the reminder of nature’s beauty. Most of the flowers I see these days have died from the heat!

I need to get out and water mine or they’ll be doing that, too.

The peonies are stunning! I had no idea what Sweet William was – it’s beautiful. I loved your post on Tania’s blog about the spiders. Going to read the Kari one now. Have a great weekend!

This makes me think of Mom’s garden. I don’t do the flower thing, but she has a knack just like you. 🙂
