what a lovely

What a lovely long weekend.

I didn't do all the things I had planned, but I did:

work on linen squares for a pillow inspired by this project

juice limes for limeade

make goat milk kefir

soak in one long mineral bath

read some of this book

take two naps

make pizza with my granny

process muscadine grapes into pie filling

watch this funny movie

visit Thomasville GA for Saturday brunch

rescue a baby squirrel from our cat, and take it to St. Francis

wash many, many dishes and loads of laundry

make a menu plan for the week, primarily from this cookbook

think about making curtains for my sewing room

There has been the tiniest bit of fall in the air in the mornings! Autumn is my favorite season and I feel as if I'm buzzing with excitement when I think about hot chai and pumpkins and red leaves and wearing my sweaters and socks again.

Tonight I'm going to raise my glass to the short work week. Cheers!
