What I’m Loving Right Now:

• Kate introduced me to this Cardamom and Vetiver candle last week and it is pure bliss if you like cardamom and vetiver! We both got one, so when we light them we think of each other!
• Being able to go out to my garden to clip Dahlias, Daisies, and Zinnias and fill vases around my home. ?
• Just One Look by Harlan Coben. This is my first Harlan Coben book ?and so far, so good!
