Gratitude, Happenings, Observations β¦
1. After a crazy June and busy July, August brought slower days and sweet joys, including celebrating my pregnant daughter at her baby shower.
2. Sunsets on the water.

3. A wonderful, relaxing getaway with my beloved friend. Spending time together was a treasure, especially since we now live in different states. Iβm thankful for friendship.
4. Pesticide-free, fresh cucumbers from my lovely neighbor’s garden.

5. Desserts turned out adorable and delicious for my daughter’s baby shower.


6. My 29-yr old daughter came into town to celebrate her sister. What fun to have both of my girls together for several days!
7. August reads – stay tunedβ¦more details on these later this week.


8. A walk through Sarah P. Duke Gardens at Duke University – more photos on Wednesday.

9. August heat in Texas is comparable to January cold in New York. I was mostly stuck indoors.
10. But thankfully, there were pleasant beach walks in coastal Carolina during our quick girls-getawayβ¦


Tomorrow we welcome the start of the βberβ months. September, October, November and December are always special. Each brings at least one holiday and for much of America, a coziness that accompanies beautiful seasonal changes. I hope you enjoy each one of themπ.
Thank you for reading and have a blessed Monday!
