What's Happening...

Hallelujah...the dead heat of the summer has passed and the cool weather has finally arrived.

Thursday was so beautiful, a perfect 10 by those number standards.

Weather like this just makes you feel good, happy to be outside!

Creamy Bow Tie Pasta with Sausage, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Spinach

 I made this pasta dish again the other night (I make it all the time) and it is just too good for words.

It goes together so quickly and is one of the yummiest dishes I make.

I follow this recipe, almost exactly.

I start with a, not included, diced sweet onion, well, because you just have too.

I do not add the flour so there is no need for all of that salty pasta water, 

I just add a little pasta water at the end...I don't add the mozzarella cheese either.

It looks dry in the picture but its not!

I garnished it with fresh basil from my garden, it has been so good and I have so much.

Liz and Leanne "run" the book club, I couldn't think of a better word.

They offer 3 choices each month for the new book and the club members vote.

This was one of the choices, the book I voted for and the one I am so excited to read.

It was in at the library, I love that I have a library card and feel weirdly special when I go in.

Can anyone relate?!

I realized that I have never shared a picture of the entire wildflower garden.

This is one side, the other side bloomed first and is now a real eye sore and needs tending to.

When I am outside, I just can't help myself from taking more pictures.

I will miss this so much when the weather changes.

I started my first pumpkin last night, this was my favorite of the yarns.

It's tiny and will look like the one on the right.

We are going to the 

 Flower Festival at Holland Ridge Farm

today, I am pretty excited.
