Today I realized that the summer (summah) came and went and I didn't post the FIRST thing!
After the wedding in April, I got down to doing projects here at the house in SC that needed to be done. In less than a year, I have managed to repaint the kitchen, dining room, great room, and three of the bedrooms. And repainted the banisters inside, the mantel AND removed the outside handrails. Oh, and I put Thompson's Water seal on the deck, which was still raw wood from when we built it a few years ago.
Most of my summer was spent in the yard/garden, planting, mowing, weeding, and watching and hoping that we get a bounty crop this year. We DID as far as tomatoes goes, but the rest, was MEH. Pumpkin vines and no pumpkins. Watermelon vines and not the first watermelon (thanks, Andy the squirrel!) Our neighborhood has new families that have moved in, bringing lots of young children. These children come by nearly every day to "play" with Cici, Daisy and Bella, our four legged kids. It's cute to watch.
My baking has taken a backseat to outdoor activities. However, today I am baking some sugar-free cupcakes that my husband requested for a co-worker who is leaving. Then I have another project to be created for a party this weekend. I promise pictures. Really.
I hope to visit the Biltmore Estate before the Dale Chihuly exhibit comes to a close (first week in October, I think). I adore his work. check it out here: www.biltmore.com
Catch you all later!
