Friday

Here we are, my friends, halfway through August. Summer is still in charge, and she is happy to remind us daily. Autumn is on her way, however, dancing up the path, with colorful leaves swirling around her as she does. Soon, lazy summer days will give way to structure and schedule. The heat and humidity will eventually give way to cooler air that smells of cinnamon and crunchy leaves. And I am here for it.

In the meantime, we enjoy all the ordinary things, because no matter the season, ordinary is best. We are ordering greasy cheese pizza late at night.


We are sitting on the porch while Mocha keeps an eye on the neighborhood.


We are going to Madison and Nicolas' house for dinner on warm summer evenings.



And we are just being cozy.


Have a nice, ordinary weekend, my friends. 
Thanks for visiting!

  1. I love the one about not sweating anymore! I was just telling my daughter to quit bringing on Fall because I'm not ready and she said something similar - she's sick of sweating! :)
    Cozy is such a good word, isn't it?

  3. Hurrah for Fall!! No more sweat or bugs. I am already almost done with fall decorating! In my mind it is fall already, and I know it is for you, too! I want to see your fall decor! Madison's food looks so good!

  5. As always, your writing simply delights me. You have a wonderful way with words and phrases. I'm so glad you write a blog so your thoughts can enlighten me. And yes, oh yes, "... to not sweat any more." I'm with you on that, for sure!

  6. Hi Billie Jo! I love autumn too! I think it's my favorite time of year - probably because I was born in the autumn. I'm glad you are enjoying summer, but rushing the season just a bit. Have a good weekend! See you again soon!
