Autumn Picnic At The Farm

Good morning my dears. Hope you slept well.

Here's a little Pinterest inspiration for you to start your day with.

Our autumn weather has been unseasonably warm. Over 90 degrees most days.

However, it was a little more breezy on Saturday afternoon, so we went to the farm and had an autumn picnic. I used my phone to serenade us by one of my favorites - Doris Day (the song will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside).

For the floral arrangement I used greenery from our garden, with autumn rod and Kenyan roses.

Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

(with candy corn pumpkins)

Cheddar and Golden Tomato Tea Sandwiches

(I added a slither of mayonnaise and a dash of cracked pepper)

Dirt Pudding

(Chocolate pudding with dark chocolate shavings and a sprig of mint)

Everything was simple and delicious.

We enjoyed talking about the past week and the week to come. We've been busy bees, as we approach week three of building our farmhouse.

So until next time, have a blessed week.

July 4th 2013

We had a relaxing July 4th weekend, at our current rental home in Port Charlotte, FL.

 

We've been here for a month already, and have a few more months here until Cory's job sends us on to his next travel location.

 

Our home is located on a canal, and has the most glorious sunsets. So this July 4th we decided to invite a friend over for a picnic in the lanai. We had bratwursts from the local German butcher, grilled asparagus, cherry tomato salad, blueberries, watermelon and we sauteed some pepper and onions for relish. It was delish!

 

Buster, thought the bird sculpture was real, so he gatecrashed our lunch to inspect. Ha ha.

Later in the evening we went to watch the fireworks on Port Charlotte harbor. It was fun watching the display over the bridge.

 

But, I digress...There are some really interesting people these days.

 

 

The rest of the weekend we did some wedding shopping, shared some flatbreads at Carrabas,  watched some Hallmark movies, did some yoga and spent a day at Venice beach. Happy birthday America! From the girl who spent her childhood in the heart of the English Countryside.
