under ten

I found these things at the flea market over the summer. Each for under ten dollars. So that leaves me more money to spend on shoes. I'll post those tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who left a comment in the last post about what you like to cook. I loved reading your answers!

looking around the kitchen

I'm really happy to be back in my own kitchen after a month away. Sometimes cooking can be a drag, but most times for me it's a pleasure. I have to be honest and tell you that a lot of my cooking is not well received by my children, but my husband usually loves it. And I love that. Happy weekend. By the way, what's your favorite thing to cook?

transition

The seasons are in transition, the kids are back at school. Everyone is exhausted from this first week back, me included. Hopefully we'll all settle back in this weekend. Meanwhile I managed to clean my house today, but that's about it. I hope tomorrow I'll feel inspired to take some new pictures and have something to show. If not, I'll be back on Monday, rested up (I hope!).

p.s. this is my dad's woodpile. at least he's prepared for the changing seasons!

day at the beach

These pictures are from last week. Although the weather was warm and gorgeous today, it was the first day of school, and therefore officially fall in my mind. This is my ode to the last of summer!

early morning

An early morning at the end of August. We're packing up this weekend to go back home to our city life. School starts on Tuesday. Have a nice weekend and enjoy the end of August!

on a hike

At the top of the mountain there were scores of wild blueberries, with a few rasberries on the way up. We picked enough to make blueberry tarts two nights in a row. I just can't stop with the summer fruit desserts!

family party

Lots of kids, a beautiful garden, cake, and a perfect sunset on a late summer's evening.
