My World this Week

Once again computer time is hard to come by.  I have tried to catch up on e-mails and if I missed anyone, do write again.  Sometimes they get buried!

After a few days of heat and humidity, we are once again unseasonably cool.  It was actually jacket weather last night, unheard of in late July!  While I love this weather, some garden items do not.  It seems the basil has hardly grown at all since it has been cooler than normal.

The garden is getting that late season look already, quite unlike its' peak in late June and early July.  But we have a lot of green beans since the bush beans are all coming in at once and the vine beans have begun to come in, too.  Next year I may want to plant two raised beds of nothing but green beans for canning.

So... here is what has been going on in my world this week from the lens of a camera.

Reading

My friend and "blog daughter", Heather, recommended Maisie Dobbs and we tend to like the same books.  I'm just starting it.  Further info... here.*  Also rereading A Fine Romance and as mentioned last week... Marriage To a Difficult Man.  Three very different kinds of books.

Watching

Each season of Endeavor on PBS has been excellent!  The season ender last Sunday was quite a surprise, can't wait until the new one comes along (next year?).  Sigh...  Oh, I was asked about Father Brown.  I watch the new Father Brown series on PBS, too.

Pretty Thrifting

She jumped in my cart at Goodwill.  Honest!  It was destined for her to come home with me.

In the Garden

I am loving this golden pineapple sage.  My favorite nursery in a nearby town has all kinds of unusual herbs and flowers.  I bought this one just for the unusual color but the taste is delicious, it really does have an aroma of pineapple and a tropical flavor.  Planning on adding it to pound cake soon!

Produce from the Garden

Kale, green beans, two tiny tomatoes which are under the greens, and flat leaf parsley. 

Sipping and Sharing

I had a cup of regular copy, my all time BFF enjoyed a speciality of the coffee shop, and we shared a delicious piece of our favorite cake.  Yum...

Her Fluffiness

Someone loves having "her" Study back now that Mr. Sebastian has gone home.  I changed some things around on the desk, she thinks it was just to give her more space to stretch out.  ;)
