Weekend

 

We had a really nice weekend. On Saturday we had lots of puttering here for me, and mowing and oil changes here for Tim! What a pair we are! 

I finally got most of the artwork up in our bedroom. I also used some Rub n Buff on a too shiny gold frame, and four metal disks on the edges of our sleigh bed. They were too shiny, too! Now they look better.

On Sunday, we had to leave right after church to meet up with extended family for lunch. Our sister in laws sister is someone we've known for many years. In fact, when we moved to Pennsylvania 32 years ago, we stayed with her for a few months. She was single in those days. 

Anyway, we meet up with them, my parents and three of our nieces for lunch yesterday. It was so fun.

Our beautiful nieces

We stopped by our friends' house on our way home, to drop something off and my sweet friend Britt, cut some of her garden roses for me! They smell so beautiful!

We came home, relaxed and enjoyed a quiet evening.

I'm thankful.

I got to hold and love on my new grandbaby again on Saturday evening. It was wonderful. She had been fed, and was ready for a wee nap. 

On Saturday, I mostly puttered. Now that our bedroom is pretty well done, I need to get more artwork hung up in there and in the office!

Still need to find Tim a desk. I want wood, so I am keeping my eyes on FB Marketplace. The office is a small room so we can't have a huge desk in there.

We had a big thunderstorm overnight Saturday into Sunday and it woke us up! I love a storm.

We had rain this morning again, and I am beginning to see that the light is shifting from the strong light of summer to a softer autumnal light. Some of the early turning trees and shrubs like sumac are beginning to turn. 

My Limelights are getting their autumn blush on them and I love it. We still have weeks of summer to go, but I always count autumn as having started when it becomes September.

Soon it will be time to turn off the air conditioner, and we'll be able to open the windows to the fresh autumn air.

Did you have a good weekend?

What an amazing week we've had! Grandbaby number 10 has been born! What a joy to have a new family member. Our daughter, son in law and the babe are doing great.

I made dinner for them on Tuesday and we all got to go hold the baby and welcome her to the family. She is darling!

My friend Jane is now visiting with other PA friends. We took her to the Big Valley on Wednesday, and enjoyed lunch together. She called this her Pennsylvania tour. Started off for a long weekend with one set of friends, then with us for 10 days, and now with another set for 10 days, then she'll head home. She's the best!

Now, I have a week to get myself organized and reoriented after a super fun summer!

This is not good news for Fauci.

Remember his pardon is only a Federal pardon. Individual states can go after him, some have already started the process!

Ah! 

That's all I have for today! I hope you have a great weekend!

Weekend

 

Summer is beginning to wane here in Pennsylvania. Oh, we'll have heat and thunderstorms and swimming weather for many weeks yet, but the turn has begun. 

I saw it along the roadsides yesterday as we drove to the mid-state to pick up my dear friend Jane. Sumac, and other shrubs along the road are beginning to change their color. The kids in our area go back to school in two weeks, and I can begin to see a slight change in the light.

I love this time of year. We still have peaches, sweet corn, fresh tomatoes and yet the tobacco is being harvested on Amish farms. If I blink the corn will begin to come down, too.

Soon it'll be Amish wedding season.

I've heard that the government are on track to make daylight savings permanent. 

I love the change of seasons, especially the change from summer into autumn and winter to spring.

I am going to savor the rest of summer, and time with my dear friend. I hope you are enjoying a fun and satisfying season as well.

Weekend

 

           I want to replace this Ikea chair by the closet. I can't sit in it comfortably as I am too short!

                                                Also I want a new bedside table for Tim.

We had a really good weekend. Saturday we got a lot done in our room - including decluttering all the things. Our room had become a dumping spot. 

Tim got my FB Marketplace painting hung. It's of a Scottish Loch. We like the way the painting looks against the wallpaper.

We also got our curtains hung. I went with burgundy velvet. They look great with the wallpaper, too!

We need a couple of chairs, and a rug for the sitting room area of the bedroom. 

In the office, the Colonial Williamsburg Nicholson Green is wonderful. I completely love this color. The white paint in both our bedroom and the office is Farrow and Ball Pointing mixed into another brand. 

We loved the way the black door handles looked against the green, so we decided to go with black outlets and covers, too. The store only had shiny plastic, so we used satin black spray paint that we had and that looks great.

The office needs a desk with drawers for Tim and a nicer table or small desk for the computer. We will bring our console that we have in the basement up and have the printer on that. 

In Family news, today is my youngest son's 21st Birthday! All my kids are full adults now!

This is him when I started my blog in 2007.

This was yesterday! I love this guy so much! Happy Birthday, son! 

Yesterday was our youngest daughter and son in law's first wedding anniversary! We went to lunch with our son in law's parents, this guy above, and our local son in law. (our daughter was seeing a movie with her girlfriends) We sent our happy wishes to them on their anniversary!

What a great weekend!
