In the Last Week

Last night our first cold front

blew

in on the shirt tails of a brisk north wind

filled with cold raindrops

and

blew all the mosquitos away!!!

I dislike cold weather

but
I dislike mosquitos even more.

Earlier in the week my garden looked like summer

filled

with blooming summer colors
and
butterflies.

This morning when I looked

out

of the French doors

 I found a gray, damp and gloomy day outside

but

I live in a pink and white world inside my house!

I started thinking about comfort food

because

even when you live in a pink and white world inside
comfort food sounds very good when the world is gray outside.

 Tuesday I shared my sweet friend's birthday with her.

We toasted her special day in a French restaurant, practiced our French

and

even ordered Escargot!!!

It is almost the end of October

so

 I put a pumpkin on my porch

displayed some of my vintage Halloween decorations from my collection

and

 filled a bowl with salted peanuts and candy corn

for

the little ones who come to trick and treat!

Oh Bittersweet October!!

There have been many sweet moments in this last week .
