Dirt Road Adventures: Ready for Summertime & Healthy Days!

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.

Hey Friends, Summertime has arrived here at The Ponds Farmhouse. The pool is open, and Brad has been working like crazy, replacing outdoor lights, pressure-washing the outdoor furniture, and balancing the pool water. I’m finally well enough to resume my daily walks and I’m feeling stronger. I spent most of the week transitioning the farmhouse from spring to summer decor. I also had a girlfriend day out, which included shopping and lunch at our favorite go-to spot in Greensboro. It was our first shopping trip since before Christmas, and much needed. Next week, I’ll have another CT and see my oncologist for the results. You can see more details on my Healing Journal.

This week was filled with summer decorating and DIY ideas. Did you vote on my summer mantel? If not, you still can.

Now that our outdoor spaces are refreshed, we are gearing up for summer entertaining. If you missed any of last week’s adventures, click to check them out below.

In Case You Missed It

I was so excited to get a message from Leah Warrick about how she loves using found treasures to decorate and getting DIY inspiration from my blog posts. You may remember she recently shared her DIY Terrarium similar to mine. She sent me several images, and I wanted to share her antique cabinet, decorated similarly to my Thrifted Spring Decor: How I Styled An Inspired Vignette With Budget Decorations post. Leah created a similar look but with her own personal touches. Don’t you love her concrete swan?

It’s always fun to connect with friends across the country who share a love of thrifting, DIY, and decorating. Thanks for sharing, Leah!

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

• My creative friend Wendy shared this easy topiary tutorial.
• My green thumb is hit-or-miss, so I was happy to see Stacy’s post about reviving plants in 9 easy steps.
• Coming home after a trip can be a bummer, but CoCo’s post – How To Get Organized After A Trip offers some great tips.
