Happy Friday 7/4/25
Happy Friday! And happy 4th of July! How are you celebrating? We’re on Catalina Island with cousins, playing cards, eating ice cream, and having the best summer vaca! Highly recommend this quaint little island off the coast of California with it’s laid-back European vibe and tons of great hiking! Wishing you a lovely holiday weekend!

Set up this for our hydrangeas before heading out on vacation to make sure they stay watered during the heat wave.
