summer break

Summer is almost over. I really hated just typing that. I was just getting into summer, loving the heat and loving the sun. It feels like we just got done with our 9 months of winter and now fall is right around the corner. Well that does mean pumpkin will soon be in the baking air. Love coming up with new pumpkin recipes that's for sure.

But for now I need to take a little break from blogging--not long just a couple weeks to get in some last minute summer enjoyment before it's gone.
Let's just hope we get no more hurricanes or earthquakes.
I'm good on hurricanes, how about you? Yeah.

Get in a few more summertime eats. Shrimp cocktail with garlic bread has been a summertime dinner staple in our family for years. Served with ice cold beer of course.

Visit a few more farmers markets before they all close up for the summer.

I will miss eating outside. Food always taste better when you eat it outside in the sunshine, even if it is just melted cheese and tomatoes on bread.

I'll definitely miss chilling here.

  11. Our forecast is for 80+ all week. FINALLY! Actually, August was lovely here but I am certainly not ready for fall since our summer is really only 1 month old. A few trees in our neighborhood are starting to turn a bit and I'm noticing a bite in the air in the morning and NO WAY am I ready for boots and sweaters! I am, however, ready for the boys to go back to school. :) Such lovely shots, Dawn! I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!

  29. Hi Dawn,
    The green & yellow house in Chatham's Old Village is quite the site. The owners painted it those colors after the town flatly turned them down when they applied to move the house back from the road 9 ft and to make some renovations/additions to restore the house. Evidently, those colors fit into those approved by the Historic District codes. Interesting issue. Not sure if it was done for spite???
    Love your blog and the photos are always so inspirational.
