Another week sped by, and it's time to remember and share the good things of the week. I'm thankful Susanne hosts a place to do this at Living to Tell the Story.
1. Fall! Autumn doesn't officially begin until tomorrow, but we've had some lovely temperatures in the 50s at night and 70s to low 80s in the daytime. Some of the trees seem to have gotten the memo, with rusty leaves dropping already. I hope we have a very long autumn. I love the space between the heat of summer and the cold barrenness of winter.
2. Jesse's birthday. My youngest son turned 30, which makes me feel old! We had a good time celebrating.
I'm thankful Mittu made this cute and tasty Lemon Blueberry Cake that Jesse requested. It had reduced me to tears the last time I tried it, and almost did her as well! We've decided we need to find a different recipe. If you have one, let us know!
I need to be more mindful of the background of my photos. This looks a little busy. That's my writing desk in the little alcove off the dining area.
3. Pumpkin Spice Donuts. I'm not into pumpkin-spice-everything, but I do enjoy getting a package of these donuts once a year.
4. A submission accepted. I learned this week that a short piece of writing I submitted to an online site was accepted. It won't be published til next August, though, so I'll tell you more about it then.
5. Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Reese's has taken to shaping their chocolate-peanut butter concoctions into seasonal shapes. The pumpkin ones are so good! I limited myself by only getting two and having them different days.
6. Bonus: a new day. I had a couple of days with extra time to myself and was looking forward to getting a lot done, especially writing. I was disappointed that didn't happen. But there's nothing to do but start over the next day. (After I wrote that yesterday afternoon, I had a productive few hours. Yay!)
That's my week. How was yours?
