My Personal Moments
- Big Al and I went out for an evening picnic with hopes of finding a good trail to walk. We ended up having dinner with friends…these kind of friends. This one was only 10-12 feet away from us and absolutely stunning!
- Friday was National Book Day! I’ve been busy the last couple of weeks and haven’t had much time to read. However, I do have a book waiting in the wings for me. What Have You Done? by Shari Lapena is a thriller that involves a murder, in a sleepy little town in Vermont. It’s one I can’t wait to read! What are you currently reading?
My Favorite Weekly Find
This 2 Piece Sweater Set is an absolute dream! I received it this week and I can tell you it’s going to be a fall go-to for me! The knit fabric is incredibly soft and feels amazing. The wide-leg pants are effortlessly chic and the pullover top is the perfect balance of comfort and style. I love how versatile this set is. It’s perfect for lounging at home, running errands, or even dressing up with some accessories. The fit is true to size and the overall quality is impressive. If you’re looking for a cozy yet stylish loungewear set, this is definitely a must-have!

Love picnics, we had a Friday meet at park. Grills going, favorites or leftovers. Always a feast w friends. Recipes look delish, will have to try them!
Edible flowers, like Nasturtiums, are fun to grow. But take months to flower.
I’ve never grown nasturtiums. Sounds fun!
Kim, it sounds like you are having a wonderful summer.
I love your picnic friends! So majestic.
