Ah relaxation...

There is so much joy in doing nothing on the weekend - no plans - just hanging out with Michael. This was our first weekend in a long time where we had no plans to hang out with anyone, do anything, or go anywhere. So we had a wonderful time watching movies, making delicious food, potting our mums, and just hanging out.

We have had to settle in to learning how to keep our plants alive. Andie Anderson from How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days would be appalled.

"Our love fern! You let it die!
- No, honey, it's just sleeping"

Our love... mums have persevered through this learning period and are now nicely potted and growing again. Thank goodness out love mum are not dead! I have decided that since I cannot have a puppy or a baby at this point in my life I will love my plants as such. :) A girl has to have something to take care of right... other than my husband of course!

Here is our beautiful back porch - thanks to Michael who potted our plants!
It's a very happy place to read and relax - we love to sit our there and have dinner! We are looking forward to the fall weather so we can do this more often. Bring on the fall weather God, we are so ready!

I find the most satisfaction in baking - I have learned that I am a great baker of delicious cupcakes and cake but there is still Michael's favorite that brings joy to our hearts - Apple Crisp. We usually only eat this during fall since apples are in season so I made the first apple crisp of the season on Saturday and it was delicious, like spoonful of fall.


The beginnings.



The next day....
Needless to say we love our apple crisp!
