Week In Pictures: Summertime

The best of this past week in pictures:

Morning coffee: one of my very favorite things

This is the result of our late-night at Bama Rising

Morning walks….love them!  My goal is to walk every morning for the next 30 days.

Carnitas tacos from Chipotle with their fantastic corn salsa

Leisurely Friday morning walk with Brent & the pugs

Oh, the fruit….

….and the flowers

And Milly with a fruit sticker caught in her whiskers

Home-grown cucumbers from a coworker’s garden

Single-serving blueberry crisp…that I’m STILL thinking about….

Flowers….a gift from my sweet husband after a bad day

S’mores…I’ve made s’mores only a handful of times in my life and for some reason I can’t get enough this summer! Simplest dessert ever!

Homemade granola

Week In Review

This was actually a pretty uneventful week and I really didn’t get any good pictures.  Not one! But that’s not going to stop me from posting them, obviously.

Labor Day means one thing to me, really: the unofficial beginning of fall.  Even though the sun apparently hasn’t gotten the message.  I am already dying to pull my winter clothes out of storage!

I worked at the hospital, Brent worked at the house all day and then grilled for us.

Ribs, baked corn, and Doritos.  Deeelishus!

Yellow leaves!  Yellow leaves!  Fall is on the way!

The plants are still alive and well:

 

Saturday night we went to the Plantation House in Aliceville with some friends.  It was a gorgeous evening!

I became mesmerized by this the other day.  The sun was shining through at just the right angle:

 

And see if you can guess what this might be.

Hint: it is becoming a problem…..

 

Yes, I went back to Sips & Strokes.  Yes, they recognized us.  No, I’m not getting any better.  I may need to take a break from it for awhile.

Why so depressed?

Milly?  You too?

Oh.

This upcoming weeks should at least be a little more exciting!  Brent and I both have work-related trips this week, so we won’t get to see each other until next Saturday!!!  Boo!  But yay for traveling!
