Good morning! Did you survive Halloween? Did you have a rush of kids stampeding to your door for some tasty treats? I did not have one trick or treater. I did have a huge bowl of candy waiting but I guess they do not like to go off the beatin’ path so now my plan…
Good morning! Happy Friday! Whew, what a week. First my refrigerator stopped cooling, then the heat wouldn’t come on, add in a dog with an ear infection and allergies, two repair men and life and I am worn out! Image Pine Cones and Acorns Weeks like these remind me that I have to s-l-o-w down,…
Good morning! Have you had a good week? Are you ready for the weekend? Probably a stupid question because I do not think I have ever heard anyone say no. I am always ready for the weekend, even if I have a list a mile long of things I ave to do. My favorite Halloween…
Good morning! Its Friday, finally. Normally I enjoy cool, grey, rainy days but this week they began to wear on me. Probably because it was lashing rain, no-stop wind and not really grey but almost dark all day, everyday for a week. That sort of weather makes me tired, but alas I was very busy…
Image from Pine Cones and Acorns Dahlia’s from the Endless Summer Garden, Camden Maine Good morning! One day closer to the weekend, I could not be more happy about that. I am so looking forward to reading my new book and trying dinner from a Vietnamese restaurant that has just opened near us, as well…
Image from TASTE Good morning! Another Friday and the first official in Fall. To me Fall weekends are all about football, food and relaxing. This week like many before I find myself drawn to food and photography. Taste the Williams Sonoma Blog has a recipe round-up for game day. Great ideas for dips, sides and mains….
Good morning! Happy Friday! Life has kept me very busy this week(again) so it was a challenge for me to visit my favorite blogs and to explore the net but I did find a few things I think you might like. Pumpkin Cupcakes made by Ciao Domenica Pumpkins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardomen, pies, cakes; some of…
Good morning, and a very happy, happy Friday to you. I am always ready for the weekend but as I mentioned at least once before this week has just felt very long. Hopefully the weekend will feel the same because I feel like spending a few hours in the kitchen with some pumpkin, making some…
Good morning! It’s September, can you believe it? Literally overnight my deck went from being covered in crepe myrtle blossoms to yellow and brown leaves. Image taken by me. My farmers market and grocery store have pumpkins, squash and cinnamon brooms and last night I watched my very first Christmas cooking show. Wow I feel…
Good morning! I hope that you have had a fabulous week! Are you getting ready for a last “hurrah” before the unofficial end of summer? A barbecue, one last trip to the beach or perhaps a weekend away for the Labor Day holiday? Image Pine Cones and Acorns I have no plans and I am…
Good morning! I hope that you have had a great week! I was busy doing all of the things I shouldn’t do so that I did not have to do the things I should. I spent too much time on the Internet looking at new blogs, art, online courses and all sorts of things that made…
Good morning! I am so excited it is Friday because I have guests this week and we have a lot of plans. Before I go off to spend the day at the beach I will leave you with a few of my favorite finds from around the web. Image from Belle Vivir I am always…
