At home:

A few fall decorations-

We had the weather for fall thoughts and decor last week which was great. Now, though, we're going to have summer weather once again for the next week or so. But every day, hot as it is going to get is one more calendar day closer to fall so there is that :). 

I have this almost knee jerk habit of starting a game of Ms. Pacman when I walk by the arcade table in the basement. Fortunately, I don't walk by it often. The games are time drains but I like the challenge of trying to beat my high score. And I kinda feel like a kid again when playing this classic 80's game :). I mean, it's great to be excited about displaying pumpkin garland but it's also great to get 5000 points for a banana (if you get to that board and get the banana!).

Bright-

We came out of a restaurant the other week and it was super bright. Also, our back car door could not be opened due to how close this truck parked next to us. I can see how it would be hard to park well in it- I would struggle I'm sure. But, this was right in front of the restaurant. When I struggled with parking the first few times I drove a minivan after having driven a fairly small sedan, I parked far away from entrances so as to avoid other vehicles needing the spot amidst my likely poor parking job.

The sun shines so nice and bright on the solar panel in the garden! The sun charges the panel and the fountain runs well past sun set due to it.

But before we need the solar charge to keep the fountain going, the sun shines so brightly in the back yard that the panel keeps the fountain going without charge and brightens everything it shines on.

Town-

An after dinner walk to get ice cream at the shop in the historic downtown district

I can't say extra Reese's in the Reese's Cup Arctic Swirl fast enough :)

Miniature-

These darling little alyssum flowers- a grouping of them is small. If you look at just the individual petals, they are tiny. I love these flowers and I planted some seeds many years ago in Alyssa's namesake since the name Alyssa is derived from the alyssum flower. The flowers have spread to many places in the yard. I love their understated sweet and quiet beauty. Not unlike a certain someone named Alyssa. Who can forget that Alyssa agreed to pose with a little bunch of Alyssa flowers as part of her senior pictures two years ago?

When you decided to wear a sundress as one of your senior photo outfits and the material had little purple flowers on it and your mom asked if you'd pose with a little bouquet of alyssums from the yard and you said yes because you couldn't be any sweeter...

So pretty and purple-ly

Empty and or full

Using a tale of two pepper plants for an example of both. I planted these at the same time close by to one another and cared for them the exact same way so it doesn't make a lot of sense why one plant would thrive and one right next to it wouldn't. 

Full o' peppers...

Empty!

Design

A new Apple watch face but make it FUN!! I did not care for the default watch face on my new(ish) Apple watch. It took me long enough, but I finally changed it to this fun design- a kaleidoscope.

Time flies when you're watching your watch 😉
