This week was full of back-to-school excitement and the slanting light of late summer. Soon there will be a chill in the air and I’ll be able to wear a sweater and socks. My favorite time of year.

Yours,

Deb

An all local dinner (veggies from our garden), beef from up the hill. Yum!

Keeping cool in the summer heat. Maybe sometime I’ll try resting my belly on the cool tiles.

I couldn’t help myself, I dyed some scarves.

Well all, I just couldn’t help myself. I love the process of shibori dyeing so much that I just had to make some scarves!

These scarves are a blend of linen and rayon with a beautiful drape. The indigo blue color is traditionally used to dye blue jeans and I haven’t met a skin tone that it doesn’t look radiant on.

If you’d like to have one of your own you can find them in my shop on etsy.

Here’s a link to my etsy shop.

I love my peg leg but not as much as my actual foot. Goodbye cast, you’ve been swell!

Fresh picked blueberries and vanilla ice cream for breakfast. Don’t mind if I do.

Twilight Gin and Tonic. Is there anything better in the summer? The blueberry addition was relish, next time I’ll muddle them a bit.

Birthday kebobs at the fire pit. Made with local beef, zucchini and tomatoes from the garden. Maybe next year I’ll grow the mushrooms and peppers too.

The hummers go through about 6 cups of nectar every 4 days. The air is literally a-buzz.
