Sunday.

I haven't had the blogging zest lately so my posts have been sparse. I'm thinking the coming fall will inspire me once more. I've been sick for about a week and a half with a pesky cold and try as I might - it will not leave. 

So this is my current view right now. Beautiful soft folded towels and tea. I'm not sure how much longer my tush will occupy the couch but I'm certain it will be another hour or so before I stir for some grapes and maybe a banana.


 

Speaking of fall - where is it? Our weather here has been so warm lately. Combined with my cold it has made me extroadanarily cranky. I haven't felt like knitting or sewing or even cooking for ages. I'm praying this zombie like phase I'm in is only a phase.

I hope your weekend has been delightful so far and if you are experiencing this late summer heat I hope it is welcome. I think of sunny swims at a lake or forest summer strolls and how this weather would be better spent.

So much love!



P.S. I have read so many poignant and heart warming blog posts and articles about the 9/11 attacks which happened 10 years ago today and have found it so moving. I remember that day and the feeling in my heart when I saw those towers fall. We will not forget. My heart goes out to everyone that has been affected 9/11.

Days like today put small colds into perspective and make me really think of the bigger picture of life.

This Weekend

We went to Ikea with friends and I bought the fancy white quilt pictured above. I love layering fabrics and different blankets.
I made a big batch of chicken stock from scratch. My house smelled like soup.
We ran errands. There was a lot of driving involved but it felt successful to get it done.
I watched movies. Something like 6 movies. 4 movies alone yesterday. I haven't done that in years.
I made some cute felt food. I was inspired by adorable felt food from Etsy.

Here is my salad,



We also visited my landlords beautiful farm. He pulled potatoes right from the earth and tossed them in a bag for us. He also pulled up some onions and dill for us.


I cant wait to roast these babies up this week.

Otherwise I was in my sweatpants most of the weekend. It was lovely and relaxing. I just started a big pot of Chicken and Rice soup (recipe, Nourishing Traditions). I think a delicious soup for dinner will be the perfect way to start the week.

How was your weekend?

Loves!
