Good Monday morning! How was your weekend? Our weekend was rainy and cloudy, or as we refer to it, perfect decorating for Halloween weather. Flynn and I spent some time Saturday afternoon making our house a little bit spooky, and I will post those pictures on Wednesday. Now, we move on to the rest of our weekend, which included a friend who came down for a couple of days of quick relaxation and fun. We know him from back home, and he is the nicest, most hardworking man around. I was so happy he could take some time for himself, and that we were able to meet him for a delicious dinner at a new restaurant that serves local seafood in a fancy sort of way. I didn't remember to take any pictures until dessert, but we all know that is the most important part, right??
Mine was the chocolate tart with fresh raspberry puree. It was amazing. Friday afternoon, while Flynn and I were finishing homeschool for the week, Steve took a walk out to the beach to see how it survived last weekend's storm. While there is a steep drop-off, the shoreline remains beautiful, and Steve captured it perfectly.
I continue to enjoy my breakfast of choice this fall: oatmeal, chopped apples, a dash of cinnamon, and a splash of cream.
Along with one of Madison's orange cranberry scones with my coffee!
Peyton keeps us updated on their lives with pictures of their pup Jenny and their Fall decorations. And longtime readers may recognize the cute ghost sign...
It may be because we have had it forever!
Dear Time, Passing is ok. But why do you have to do it so quickly?? Love, Me
And lastly, a couple of pictures from my walk this morning.
Have a great day, my friends!

Adorable as always. Brenda
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always beautiful and inviting! Glad you had such a nice weekend. Your dessert looks like something I would love.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post Billie Jo! Visiting you is like receiving a warm hug. Thank you my friend and have a wonderful October with many more blessings.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the shore survived so well during the storm. Goodness, what a storm!! I did think about you guys. Thanks for mentioning the pumpkin spice Special K to me. You are right - pure deliciousness!! Now, I need make some of those scones:)
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!! Loved all the photos!
ReplyDeleteSteve did a wonderful job with the photos. He captured every aspect of the shore...the people and buildings in the distance, all the footprints, and the beautiful sky. Your desserts look so fancy! Cannot WAIT to see your decor!!!
ReplyDeleteILOOOOOOVEEEFALLL! And orange cranberry for the win for sure. Sounds like a perfect spooky weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post!
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures of the beach and the water. Hubs and I have to drive a good 60 miles (both east and west) to capture scenes like that. I loved dressing as your drawing shows -- makes me miss the true autumn weather I enjoyed in Colorado. You are so right in saying, "Home is the best place to be."
ReplyDeleteI had a very nice weekend,too. My birthday was celebrated all weekend! We also did pretty well with the nor’easter. Living near the water is great but can be nerve wracking at times. It was a perfect time to stay in and decorate and watch old movies.
ReplyDeleteOh my those desserts sure look good!!! Your photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a lovely weekend. Glad the beach held up okay from the storm.
ReplyDeleteglad you all were safe from the storms..The scones look delish...they get an A++ from me!! Weekends like what you had makes for good times. Kinda laid back and relaxing. Those desserts sure look yummy as well... Excited to see the pictures on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI will say that I love autumn more than I thought I did....I am all about bare feet and sunshine and swimming...but I have enjoyed the heck out of this weather this year. Camille keeps asking how the weather knew it was October, as in cue: cool and windy, please! I love that your "ghost junction" sign is still in use!!!!
ReplyDeleteTrying to comment on blogs is getting harder and harder. I know you are enjoying your favorite season. It’s still pretty warm here but is no longer blistering heat. Sweater weather might come before too much longer.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the shoreline persevered through the storm. I love the photos you have shared and will look forward to the Halloween decor coming on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThe beach pictures are so beautiful, Billie Jo. How fun you were able to spend time with your friend. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThe desserts look great! My favourite part of lunches !Autumn weather will start for us tomorrow! Rain and cold. Love the shore pictures!
ReplyDeleteSounds really nice. So glad you got to spend time with him. Those desserts look delicious. I really enjoyed your photos.
ReplyDeleteWhere you live is so beautiful! Sounds like it was a lovely time with your friend. And Peyton's touches at her home are so cute!! I love that the ghost sign lives on. 👻🧡 I forget about oatmeal and yours looks so good and inspires me! Blessings on continuing to enjoy this magnificent time of year my Autumn Bestie. 🎃
ReplyDeleteThe beach pictures are so pretty, glad the shoreline survived the storm. All those desserts look so good. Can't wait to see your fall decor tomorrow. Hope you have a wonderful week!
