Monday Musings No. 183
Good morning friends! Last week on Monday Musings I wrote about the cost of blogging, I wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your kind and lovely comments. The blogging community is a wonderful place to be a part of.
How was your weather this weekend? I hope that you were not in a heat wave, or a storm. The weather is all over the place, torrential rains, extreme heat, forest fires and the list goes on.
We had a leisurely weekend, Bill has been traveling so this weekend he wanted to relax. Saturday we were at the pool with friends and family. I read and somehow even with sun screen got a little burned. Then we had dinner with some other friends. Sunday after church we puttered around read and I did a little meal prep for the week. Now I am ready for the week.
What did you do for fun or to relax this weekend? Are you getting your kids or grandkids ready for school? The countdown is on and soon the yellow busses will be scooting around the neighborhood so take some time to enjoy the waining days with the kids.
On to +5 Things!
1.Read~The Beekeepers Cottage
Beekeeper Grace thought throwing out her cheating husband would be the hardest thing she ever did. But when she opens the door to a property developer one morning, it’s clear that keeping her beautiful home and garden – her only sanctuary throughout her miserable marriage – will be the greatest challenge of all…
Fleeing to her best friend at the farm next door, Grace blurts out all her problems, only to be overheard by Amos, a handsome, free-spirited visitor with a twinkle in his eye. Fascinated by Grace and her bees, Amos offers to stay in the village of Hope Corner, to help turn her home into a guest house in return for lessons on beekeeping.
As Grace shows Amos how to nurture a hive and harvest honeycomb without getting stung, he is charming but secretive. He never stays long in the same place after an incident in his past involving a mysterious woman named Maria. But as their eyes lock over a jar of homemade honey, Grace can’t help feeling that she’d really like him to stay…
Determined to dispel her growing suspicion that Amos is running from something serious, Grace goes in search of the truth about Maria. But when she finds it, will she still want Amos to put down roots in Hope Corner, and will they still have a house to return to?

4. SHOPPING BREAK~Outfit of the Day
Burgundy is a beautiful and rich color that is perfect for adding color to your Fall and winter wardrobe. This week I decided on a monochromatic outfit, each of these pieces would look great with emerald green, navy blue, black, brown and gray pieces that you already own.
