Zinna Love

Zinnia Love.

Zinnia Love

My zinnias are going gangbusters right now.

Sidenote::Do you say ‘ZIN-ee-uh’ or ‘ZEEN-yah’? I say the former but I think my mom says the latter.

Anyway, I am so happy that I have zinnias blooming in my garden again, so I thought I would share five things I love about them:

  1. I love their bright, bold, colorful flowers. Color = Happy in my world.
  2. I love how they tolerate – no THRIVE – in the heat of the summer.
  3. I love that they attract bees and butterflies.
  4. I love how pretty they look when I cut them and put them in a mason jar.
  5. I love how they remind me of my Granny.

So with that I’m going to sign off! I’ve got some zinnias to water and some flowers to cut.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Love, Kelly

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
