Dirt Road Adventures: A Week of Patriotic & Summer Ideas, & Good News!

Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.

Day lilies blooming at The Ponds

Hey friends! It’s been a busy week with lots of patriotic and summer ideas and planning. I shared some previous favorites and some new ideas for summer decorating and DIY.

As I’ve been under the weather for several weeks, any gardening has been put on hold. I’m so thankful for flowers that come back year after year without much maintenance. These day lilies are just stunning this year!

I’m feeling much better and have resumed my walking routine. It feels good to get back on schedule. I had a follow-up CT scan on Monday and saw my doctor on Friday. I’m so thankful that I got a good report, and I’ve shared all the details on My Healing Journal.

Why Didn’t I Think of That?

There are so many wonderful blog posts each week, and I’m sharing some of my favorites with you today.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL

What’s In My Cart

I’ve been adding several new fashion choices to my cart, and here are a few of my favorites.

  • These pants are so comfortable, cute, and stylish. I found so many cute accessories to go with them. See the whole outfit here.
  • The cute red sandals are surprisingly comfortable and look amazing with so many of my outfits.
  • The sandals look adorable with these Bermuda jean shorts. I may just live in them this summer. I’ll be sharing several ways to wear them next week.
  • I’ve had so many compliments on this super comfortable coastal-inspired outfit.
  • I have also been searching for the perfect tummy-control panty that provides firm control yet is comfortable. My favorite so far is High-Tech High-Waisted Classic Sculpting Panty by Leonisa. I don’t have an affiliate link, but you can click the link above to see the available styles.
