Summer isn't over yet...

Yesterday Kevin and I took a bit of a lazy day.  It's been overcast and rainy here for the last day or two, so yesterday we took our time running errands and then stopped at a local pick-your-own veggie garden where we got these gorgeously huge peaches that I am hoping to make a peach cobbler with very, very soon...

We also got the usual tomatoes and onions, some corn on the cob, a jar of jam, a jar of red pepper relish, a zucchini {which I am planning to make zucchini bread muffins with}, a nice big green bell pepper, and perhaps another thing or two that maybe I am forgetting.  Loaded up, for $20.  I love it.

Today is the first day of September.  Here she is...
I am turning 30 in ten days.  It kind of snuck up on me, though I've been sort of thinking about it all summer long in a way.  I thought it was going to be a tough one, but I've had plenty of time to dwell on it, and am actually feeling quite ready to step into the next decade of my life.  After much assessment, I realize I am exactly where I would have wanted to be by now, and I am appropriately amazingly happy here too. ♥

good bye twenties.  you were fun.  I wear big girl panties now...

catching up... almost there.

It's not quite September yet, so technically this is just a post to refresh my blog and invite you to start thinking about visiting again.  haha.  I'm sort of ashamed to say that I didn't realize how freeing it was going to be, to take a few weeks off from blogging.  I've gotten so much done around here!  But at the same time, there is still always more to do,
and more to write about.  :)

One of the biggest things I wanted to get done during my little blogging vacation was finishing painting the living room, and I'm happy to check that one off the list!  I had most of it done a while ago, but there were some areas that needed touching up and finishing, and now she's done.  No more ugly brown walls...

Now we have pretty 'Hydrangea' green...

One of these days we will re-do the ceiling, put in new light fixtures, and eventually take up the old carpets and re-do the hardwood floors...
But for now, I'm quite happy with the update.

And I think these little girls are happy here too...

Are we ready for September yet ladies?? 
Ready or not,
HERE SHE COMES!!
