Good Monday morning, my friends! And yep. That would be me drinking my Monday morning coffee in Pennsylvania! Steve, Flynn, and I came back for a week or so of lake fun before summer ends and autumn begins.
I am blessed that Steve loves to drive, so I am happily relegated to the position of dog holder, podcast chooser, and snack handler. Here are a few pictures off of my phone from last week in Maryland.
Friends in the backyard, just like in Pennsylvania.
Fresh blueberry pies for dessert. Nicolas' friend and his beautiful family were visiting from Denmark, and we had them in for dinner. It was such a nice evening! I have posted this recipe several times before, but it is just that good. My friend Patty shared it with us years ago, and it has become a family favorite.
And my morning coffee time with my pups. It doesn't matter where we are. They know the drill.
And, for my fellow autumn-loving friends, it's almost here!
Too much? Ok. I'm done!
Happy Monday!
Billie Jo
I'm right there with you waiting for Fall. I hope you have a lovely week!!
ReplyDeleteNice deers and delicious blueberry pies. It's getting cooler this week and rain coming again. I'm looking forward to autumn 🍂 next month. FYI:3 of the 4 items I ordered from my Amazon gift card that I won on your post, arrived last evening 😀. Other item was a pre-ordered cd that arrives in October. Thank you, Billie Jo!! Enjoy your day and beyond, Becky.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually going to miss summer because, for us, it's a lot more relaxed. Tomorrow is back to school and that brings a whole lot of chaos. I love your pictures and I need to find out where I can get that Bambi mug. Soooo cute! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy everything about summer except for the heat and humidity. I don't want time to fly but I would not mind a little cooler temperature.
ReplyDeleteSweet photos of the baby fawn! And it looks like your mug matches the fireplace!
ReplyDeleteDarling photos of the fawn. The blueberry pies look great! It's always nice seeing your cozy homes. Have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty pics you have today! Sounds like a lovely weekend and a great time with family!
ReplyDeleteThose blueberry pies look awesome, my friend! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday beautiful blogging Bestie. Yay for lake time before back-to-school! And yay for delish looking blueberry pies! I already copied and put the recipe in my "blogging friends shared recipes" file. 😉💕 And you know I'm feeling it too. Those late summer butterflies when I see those signs of Fall pop up already. Fall is knocking!! 🌼🍁💛
ReplyDeleteThe recipe looks like a keeper alright! Blueberry season is upon us too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice time at the lake, and I'm sure Flynn enjoyed it before school starts. I love the lakes and rivers, they're so peaceful. And those deer - you always get the most delightful sightings of them. Thank you for the Fall pictures. I can tell it's coming - there's a nip in the air.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week, Billie Jo.

Happy Monday, friend! Enjoy your lake time. And summer!:) It is still here! Just jokin with you:)
ReplyDeleteYou got me at the sour cream added to the pie! I've gotta try it! Sounds so delicious! So beautiful to see the wildlife at your lake home! God's rich blessings! Many blessings to you dear friend!
ReplyDeleteOh the pie looks yummy - I happen to have blueberries! And yes FALL- oh how I wish it lasted longer - to me it’s just perfect and too, too short.
ReplyDeleteYay...for you all...how wonderful to spend a couple more weeks enjoying life. This blueberry pie recipe is a must try for me. it looks so good and we have plenty of fresh blueberries. The little fawns are so cute. you captured some good pictures of them. Even though we are nearing September, sadly, Fall is still a couple of months away for us here in Texas. I am so ready for cooler temps. Enjoy your next couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo! Those blueberry pies look delicious! Glad you are back at the lake to make some end-of-the-summer memories! I am an avid podcast listener too. Maybe one day you will share some of your faves! Have a great week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteIn my neck of the woods, we wait too long for spring and summer to finally show up. I for one want summer to last as long as possible. Not a fan of Autumn or Winter.
ReplyDeleteThe blueberry pies look delicious. I'm intrigued by the sour cream in them. I need a teeny bit more of my summer, then we can have Fall. Hope you have a terrific week!
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~ Never too much! I have to tell you, I'm ready for fall. I didn't think I would say it quite so soon, but, I'm pretty much done with the summer heat. Your photos are so pretty, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes to be in charge of podcasts and snacks ;0) The blueberry pie looks scrumptious, I really need to give it a try, my husband loves blueberries. Thanks for the recipe! Glad you made it home safely. Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeletelol on the snack handler. That's a hoot. Oh yeah, I'm done with summer. Was so cold this morning that the car needed the heat on. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThose blueberries pies look amazing. I'm looking forward to the delights of autumn, but I'm still happy to cling on to summer for a little while longer :)
