First week in September

Mosley The Dog.
Almond milk/yoghurt Smoothie with strawberries and blueberries.
Mosley, unhappy from his surgery in his cone.
Friday evening coffee
Making granola bars
Lingonberry preserves with cream cheese on toast makes a rainy day much more bearable.

The weather shot up to the eighties, so disappointing! But I think it will be cooler around next week, sometime. Can't wait!

Fall: Recap part 3

I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.

Fall: Recap part 2

Hope you had a good week.  Have a lovely weekend. See you Tuesday, with part 3.

quick note

You'll notice I changed the title and header image of the blog. I may eventually redirect the blog over to another URL ( I originally started out with printgarden.blogspot.com but made that private about two years ago. I may change it over to this at some point). Just wanted to let you know that you are still at the same place, just a little change going on over here! And of course I will let you know when and if the redirect is happening. :)

Fall: Recap part 1

I'm not going to lie: Fall is my favorite season of the year. Perhaps it's the crisp breeze that's reminiscent of burning leaves and stale flannel blankets; the cloudless azure sky with the distant sound of Canadian geese departing for warmer winds; I find myself groping for the outlines and textures of warmer clothes in my dark closet, pulling on knee-high leather boots that have seen their share of falling leaves and pumpkin patches. It might just be the shortening of days, when darkness falls and I'm inclined to bake fruit pies and the like. 


I thought it might be nice to reminisce with autumn photos I've taken from the past few years. I'll be posting a few photos from my collection in the next few posts. Look for the next post Friday. I hope you enjoy and possibly post a few of your own fall memories on your blog, too!

Mornings, 2011

Cool breezes are settling in; fall is nearing. Apple picking comes to mind along with tartan fabics and old leather.  Soon we will be greeted by the goodbyes of the geese, flying to warmth and a new life.

Words I can live by.

"If you are depressed,

you are living in the past.

If you are anxious,

you are living in the future.

If you are at peace,

you are living in the present."

All from here.
