I can't believe it's already been a week, time seemed slow but since Joel came back, it's been flying. I haven't done much, I miss my friend Diane who's still in New York. I hope she'll be back soon. We are almost partners in crime, always ready to do something silly & fun. She doesn't work either so it's easier to organize something very quickly. She also lives a few houses away from me.
• Reading I'm reading a great mystery while magazines are piling up, I receive them this time of the month so I have a few to read. I don't like to start a new book so I guess I'll get to them then. It's also easier to read a magazine outside than a book. So I may take them out when I go on the deck.
• Feeling awesome, last week was very stressful for me as I had sleep problems but I'm back to myself & enjoying it.
• Craving ice cream, there's a lovely ice cream place that opened within walking distance from the house, it's always a bit tempting but so far I'm good!
• Drinking apple juice with lots of ice.
• Wearing black capri with a white top & ballet flats.
• Carrying my pink purse.
• Buddy is doing great, he's happy Joel is home for a bit. Here's a photo I took last month. He can see the road & it's beside the front door which explains his position. The front door is on his front right. I didn't take a single photo last week… I hate when it happens.
• Weather is stupendous, still hot but the humidity is very low, it's so clear & bright, I love it. It's still in the very low 90s but it's much nicer than it was in August. It's the magic of this area, September comes & the weather changes magically.
• Cooking with tons of herbs, it's so nice to just go outside to pick whatever I need. I also have lots of dry herbs & I'm addicted to fennel seeds, they soften when cooked & they add a lightness to meals.
• Thinking about this week, Joel is going to be home this week & next week so I'm always enjoying it.
• Flowers are looking great, nothing new except the rosemary keeps flowering. I wish I had roses sometimes but I don't see them anywhere in this area. I think it's too hot for them. We have lots of flowers in winter which is pretty special.
• Watching nothing much especially tonight as Joel is playing guitar.
• Candle I have caramel apple in the tart melter. It's very mild which I appreciate right now.
Have a great day!

Hi Elizabeth! Great bullet entry as always :) Mmm, caramel apple tarts must smell lovely. I'm a sucker for the pear ones. Hope you have a great evening!
Hi Elizabeth;
We are finally getting cooler almost autumn type weather here in my corner of the map. :) But it's not cool enough for the trees to turn their brilliant colors yet. Love your bullet list. It must be nice to have a "partner in crime" to spend time with. I never had that. Have a lovely middle of the week my friend. Hugs (and one for Buddy too).
Ciao Elizabeth, what an adorable photo of Buddy! :) It's great having a "partner in crime", isn't it? Glad you cold spend so much time with your hubby.
Thanks for stopping by. A few year ago Bialetti made this special coffee machine to make cappuccino. It's called "Mukka" (cow) and it's not a normal moka, you cannot do cappuccino in a regular moka. Check out this link: http://www.bialettishop.com/MukkaMain.htm (US store) - the cappuccino is not "perfect", but it's foamy and easy to make, and Zeno really likes it. Big hugs & have a lovely day!
I'm glad you have a partner in crime so close to you :o)
I agree, September is going by so quickly this year. I realised with shock that it's halfway through the month already! No wonder our weather has turned so windy and chilly!
have a super rest of the week xx
p.s you asked recently if I'd had a certain candle - could have been farmer's market? - I didn't reply, but the answer was yes. I have had it and love it :o) x
Hi there, I had lost yout blog address, glad I've foiund you again through Kia! Glad you're doing well. Weather is not good here at the moment. I suppose we're entering autumn now. Love Buddy's photo. Another one to show my crazy-for-big-dogs-daughter. All the best. Ciao. A.
Hi Elizabeth,
I can't believe that Sept is 1/2 over either. Carmel Apple sounds wonderful. Enjoy your 2 weeks at home with Joel and of course Buddy.
Hugs, Dru
HI Elizabeth I know September is flying fast! a tart melter sounds nice is it electric or the type where you put the tea candle? I have the tea candle type. It's a pain. I mostly use the scents in the small jars now a day and you add water, they have so many scents, yesterday I put a pumpkin one on, it smelled so good. It's nice you have a friend so close are you both the same age? ice cream so close that sounds dangerous. We have a yogurt shop near us but it's to far to walk to, I love that better then ice cream, my husband loves ice cream a lot!!! and I mean a lot. he is so funny.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your days with Joel. My husband used to play the guitar, I don't miss it that he does not play anymore, he had so many all over the house. Now we actually have a spare room for him to put them in he doesn't play. Big hugs
Hi Elizabeth! That photo of Buddy is so cute. He looks like something has his attention! Squirrel! :D Enjoy the weekend! (((Hugz)))
omgosh lots going on for you lol. Im busy reading to alot lately have a huge stack of books to get through. I have to say you have a beautiful wee dog. catch up again soon. *hugs*
Hi Elizabeth! I always enjoy your bullet posts. And of course I love the photos of Buddy. Such a sweet pic!
It's wonderful that you have your 'partner in crime'...it makes life so much more fun, doesn't it?
I wish it felt like Fall here. We're still having triple digits.
I am 'loving' my iPad!! So you have a Mac? Are they are neat as the iPad? You really 'must' get one Elizabeth. I am totally addicted to mine. :-)
Sending you big hugs! Have a lovely week.
