weekending

The windows were open, the breeze cool.  A very welcome reprieve from the noisy air conditioner and window fans.

Sniffles and coughs making their way through our family, though mild enough they aren't stopping full-on play.

A bit of time at a coffeeshop with Honey.  I drank Chai.  We played Cribbage.  We used to play voraciously before kids.  It's been so long we had to look up the rules on our phones.  Amazing, last time we played, we didn't even own a cell phone.  But once started it felt like the days we were dating and then newlyweds.  (All except for juggling a baby while holding cards.)

Grape picking at a lovely local farm. 

Grape jelly canning. 

Grape jelly eating on homemade bread.  Summer daydream, check.

Some birthday celebrating, in quiet family ways. 

Quite looking forward to ordering my new camera bag/purse for which I've been saving.  My dear family took my hint that any present in the form of money would be just fine by me.  I think it will be this one, but there are so many cool bags by a number of different companies.

Planning my next project.  The change of seasons brings inspiration for sewing, don't you think?
