I believe...

"I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
— L.M. Montgomery

Today has been the perfect summer day.We have done absolutely nothing.Except eat our weight in popscicles,look for images in the clouds and laze outside in the grass.Perfection.

Beauty

Sunday after church I went into town to get the last of the VBS supplies that I needed for the week.On the way home ,I decided to take a country road that I pass almost every day,but have never driven down.There were acres and acres of sheep and cows,a dairy farm...and this.It is an old cemetery tucked away behind huge trees.I almost passed it up,but I saw the fence and realized what it was.I jumped out of the car and snapped a picture of this long forgotten,rusted fence.It is beautiful I think I will return in the fall,winter and spring and take more snapshots of the different seasons.

Kitchen dreams

I bookmarked this kitchen months ago and I have it printed out in my to do file.I love it. The vintage dishes,the crispness of the white and the layout...perfect.My next house will have this kitchen.

Peach Ice Cream

Last year I purchased a Cuisinart Ice Cream maker.I love it. It sits on the countertop and it makes making ice cream a treat.Today I bought fresh peaches and had every intention of making a peach cobbler for dessert.But after thinking about it,and knowing that I had to run two kids to vacation bible school and run by the post office, I decided to make a batch of peach ice cream for the boys .Glad I did.It was rich,creamy and very peaches-and-cream. One of the best homemade ice creams I have made.

2. Blend peach puree and all ingredients until very smooth.

Eye Candy

I love this space and keep coming back to it. I love the dark wood and the cripsp white paint together!Not to mention my fondness of blue and brown together in a room. Now if only I could convince my husband that we need two mudrooms...

Happy July 4th
