Happy Saturday, everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend so far. We went out to lunch today at the cute restaurant in the top photo. It's an old house that was turned into a quaint, little restaurant many years ago. I managed to not take any food pictures today. We were quite hungry, as we ate a late lunch, so maybe that's why. I had a burger along with the best hand-cut fries - it was so good!
Earlier in the week, Charlotte along with my mom and I treated ourselves to pedicures and a delicious brunch. It was a really fun girls' day. I could go for another cappuccino right now - it was perfect in every way.
My flower garden is coming along nicely. The jug above is filled with flowers I grew myself from seed. They make me very happy. I keep a jug full on the kitchen table these days - they brighten up the whole room.
Rosie got a haircut last week and she wasn't very happy about it. The groomer cut her a bit too short and she was shivering, even though it's super hot here, she was really missing all of her fluff so she wore her sweater for a few days. I prefer her a bit more fluffy, as well. I'll be sure to tell the groomer to not go as short next time.
Anyway, we a gearing up to start homeschool in about two more weeks. It's hard to believe summer is almost over. It'll be nice to get back on a schedule though. Oh, and Charlotte gets her braces off one week from Wednesday and she is so excited! I'm also looking forward to fall and much cooler days, and wearing sweaters again. My favorite outfit is a nice pair of jeans and a v-neck sweater or a comfy, long cardigan. I could wear that every day.
I'm trying out a new recipe for pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast in the morning. About this time every year, I start craving all things pumpkin. I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for breakfast and snacks earlier in the week and I'm making our favorite pumpkin chili for dinner one night next week. Pumpkin is so good for us and we should all eat it more often, not just in the fall or late summer in my case. Rosie loves it, too!
Hello, lovey friend!!!! So happy to read your post today! I too am all about pumpkin! I wish I could join you for a cappuccino. It looks delicious! Homeschool starts soon here too. I am actually getting excited! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHi!! It would so nice to sit and chat and have a cappuccino together - I'd love that. We are getting excited for homeschool! Only two more weeks until we start.
DeleteBefore we left the seaside resort at the end of our holiday (and we were on our own without all the family and grandchildren) we took time out at a local art gallery and had a hot chocolate and pain au chocolate in their cafe. We thoroughly enjoyed the moment sitting out on the balcony overlooking the gardens and catching our breath.
ReplyDeleteHello Julia! I'm looking forward to Fall too and your pumpkin spice pancakes sound divine! I hope homeschooling is off to a good start! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi. Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comment just now came across which is so odd over two months later. Anyway, thanks for stopping by! And yes, homeschooling is going very well. We definitely made the right decision to school at home. Our daughter is thriving this year and that makes me so happy. Happy Thanksgiving!
