Emily and I attended a nature journaling class last Saturday. We were provided with supplies to draw, color, and paint. It was an unexpected cool morning. Em went for a walk and found a turtle to draw.
This pretty little bowl was irresistible, so I bought it. It’s perfect for serving a side salad for two, and it even came with recipes to bake bread.
Mornings were so much cooler this week. We woke to 60 degree temps, a relief to the record breaking heat.
At our city’s Earth Day celebration, I picked up some free pumpkin seeds. There are four different kinds of pumpkins and they have taken over the garden. I see jack-o-lanterns in our future.
Two celebrations rounded out my week. A baby shower and a birthday party!
Thanks to Susanne for hosting Friday’s Fave Five!
LOVE the bowl!! so pretty! I would love to put my blueberries in that bowl.
ReplyDeleteYAy for cooler temps (not here in eastern NY...our humidity levels are above 90% I'm not liking it.....praying it's lower on Tuesday when I have an almost 8 mile hike in the remote wilderness of the ADK).
You asked about the Orange Cream Latte: yes, it's a Cold Brew (ice coffee). The orange cream foam is DELISH!
I love growing pumpkins and what a sweet little dish.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty bowl you found. Taking a nature journaling class with your daughter would be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteNice that your weather has cooled down. We will be in the 90's for most of the summer. I tried planting a few things a few years ago, but the heat was too much. Maybe I need to get a sun shade and try again. I need to make a trip to the Armstrong center and talk to someone about the easiest tomatoes to grow. Your pumpkins look great! I think I want to try that orange cold foam latte that Faith mentioned. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a good time with Emma at the painting class.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are going to have a bumper crop of pumpkins.
Very nice bowl. And those of us in the southeast would be very glad if our weather would be similar to yours!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the idea of a nature journaling class. I love being in nature and I love to journal. How fun!! The bowl is so nice, too! Oh, to have 60 degree mornings. I can't wait. We are still brutally hot in my area.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, the book series is called AD Chronicles by Brock and Bodie Thoene. I am on book 7 and there are 12 books. Maybe your library has it.
ReplyDeleteThe nature journaling class sounds fun. That bowl is so cute! Cool mornings sound lovely. How fun to grow your own pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun thing to do with your daughter! Love the bowl and it's dainty flowers. It's gotten cold here this week too. We've had a few storms passing through. We need the rain but I'm sure those that got the hail could have done without, The grands will have fun carving those pumpkins!
