food, photography and prettie things

87 degrees this weekend!

It was so hot in our bedroom on Saturday morning, that we took off our thick/winter duvet cover and bought this new one.  We must prepare for the warmer days ahead!

I really love it.

opinions needed: should we keep this new duvet cover?

Our neighbors dropped off some beautiful lilacs from their garden….

I fed my green grape addiction…

mmmm.

I did a MASSIVE amount of gardening around the house.  I’m pretty sure I will be sore tomorrow….

I put some hot links on the grill and we had ourselves a mini BBQ dinner as the sun was going down….

(*It was to honor the Red Sox game*-Casey says)

Casey helped me chop the onions…

onions galore!

Did I ever tell you how much I LOOOOOVE mustard??

There was nothing left in the end…

I also made chocolate chocolate chip cookies…but had a disaster!  I’ll share the recipe when I MAKE IT WORK.

It was a nice mellow weekend.  I hope you enjoyed yours too!

Off to watch more of Carnivale!

    It was 100° in Whittier today. Ugh! I too need to ditch my duvet cover…but I can’t sleep without the “heavyness” on me….is that weird? Anyhoo, what kind of rolls/buns are those? Looks better than a regular hot dog bun.

    SO not fair — it’s 39 degrees outside this morning… :( Our weekend was warmer though (so I can only partially complain). And yes, where are your sheets from? Particularly those stunning hotel style pillow cases? We’re LONG overdue for some new sheets!

    thanks for you comments everyone! Of course the moment I say the weather is nice it turns on us. It was super windy yesterday and when I woke up this AM it was 57 degrees in my house!

    radish- check pottery barn!

    thanks melisser! i know how much you love those animal prints!

    Michelle- they are columbo sandwich rolls. They make the perfect bun for substantial dogs ;)

    Val- I wanna go to Fenway soo bad!

    target baby! it’s in the gardening section right now. The dress is target as well. And NO! I don’t always look like this…. I’m usually in my pjs when I garden- and my hair looks like a rat’s nest! ha! :)
