Friday favorites: in this moment

This week has been one of simple pleasures–no big adventures or family get togethers–just enjoying life in the moment. Today’s Friday Favorites reflects that.

One of life’s simple pleasures for me is the occasional cookie from Swig. This one happens to be peanut butter with chocolate frosting, and it was divine. (You should be proud of me, I held off sampling until after the photo.)

It’s still blazing hot in the city, but I got a sneak peak of fall at Hawkes Landing.

Fall is sneaking in at Hawkes Landing

And, of course, this view from above Hawkes Landing never gets old. We’ll be walking (or riding) along, and I just have to stop and try to capture the view. Of course, the photo never does it justice, but I hope you get the idea.

Of course, Monday brought a rare opportunity for some–a chance to see a total eclipse of the sun. It was about 90 percent where we live. Still pretty cool. And I challenge you to find a cuter eclipse viewer than this one!

Any day’s a good day when you get a pedicure. I especially love this red, which seems somehow perfect for the transition from summer to fall. And I’m getting as much wear as I can out of these sandals before the weather changes. They are so light and comfortable. It’s almost like being barefoot!

Another great moment from this week–sampling Jenny’s homemade salsa, featuring produce from her garden.

Who knew there was such diversity in Swedish Fish. All the colors were quite tasty, but I still think the basic red are my favorite.

And finally, I’d like to end with a quote a ran across, and fell in love with, this week: The difference between a flower and a weed is a judgment.”

Do you have any plans to send summer out with a bang?

  1. Sounds like a nice week! I love those sandals, btw!
    I don’t get to swig very often, but I’ve never tried the PB cookie. I’ll have to give that a try sometime.
    I really enjoyed watching the eclipse as well. It was a quiet event for me. I was just at home and Elsie was napping.
    One of my highlights from this week was going over to help Devivic get ready for her first day of school.
    Another highlight was going to see the BoM musical. Hilarious!!

    1. Sounds like a good week for you too. Devivic is growing up too fast–they all are! Larry found some photos of Nikolah as a baby recently. You were in them too. Such fun memories.
