What The Heck?! And A Soup Recipe

What the heck?? Yes. You aren't seeing things. That is me. In a super soft crewneck that Madison and Nicolas gifted me for my birthday. Getting ready for a morning walk!! Yep. I did indeed say walk. I am happy to report that I have once again dug out and laced up my walking shoes and begun my early morning walks with Mocha! I actually enjoy the short stroll around the neighbooorhood while the world wakes up. And, I must admit, the rumors are true. Walking does makes me feel good.





Next up. A delicious Asian soup recipe we made and enjoyed for dinner on the first night of fall. This recipe is easy to put together and is incredibly delicious.



Well, I am off to start my day. A reminder to other lovers of fall television, get those DVRs ready. Survivor and The Golden Bachelor begin tonight! Big Brother is on too! With so much ugliness and hate in the world and on the news, perhaps shutting it out and snuggling in with family and fun shows is the way to go right now. 

Happy Wednesday, my friends!
Wishing you all the cool fall breezes and colorful leaves today.

  1. Hooray for you! I walk on the treadmill every morning and although I don't always look forward to it, I'm always glad I did. Your views on your walk are beautiful.
    The soup looks good! Thanks!

  2. If I had those views, I might actually walk too :) And the cool weather would help! Thanks for the reminder of the shows tonight. I'm really struggling with finding a good show right now. I hope you have a cozy night :)

  3. Love the sweatshirt and good for you getting out and walking again. It really is so good for us. That soup is just like my spicy chicken soup that I make. It's a soup that makes you feel better after eating it even if you didn't know you needed it.

  6. Gorgeous photos of the sky and water! I printed the soup and am going to make it. What kind of Chinese noodles did you buy?

  7. Yay for a good walk! With my arthritis I almost NEED walking on the regular (the whole motion is lotion or motion is medicine is on to something there). And what stunning photos you captured! Agree it does a body and brain good. And a wonderful sounding soup recipe too. I'm in! Already printed this one up. It's right up our alley over here. ๐Ÿ˜‹ Thanks for sharing my Lovely and blessings on cozy Wednesday night programming. Survivor is Matt's absolute favorite. We will be watching! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿงก

  8. I'm so upset. For some strange reason my antenna will not pick up ABC so I won't get to watch Golden Bachelor. I don't have cable but have the antenna for local stations and it just refuses to work for that one station. Bummer.

  15. Oh my - how did I miss the first day of fall. And to think I was immersed in the mountains...but it was toasty there in Tennessee!! I have to agree with you - walking really does work wonders. But let's not say that too often or too loud. We'll keep it our secret:)
