My new oasis

Today Mustang Man headed up to my grandparents to retrieve our patio set. I came home from a VERY long day at work to a new beautiful set up in our outdoor living space!




And this... this is my favorite part! I am looking forward to mornings on the front porch with my pup, my Mustang Man, Chix meowing at the door and a good cup of coffee. With this new set up, I am contemplating getting the Sunday paper weekly... just to fit the part... Doesn't it look glorious?

Birks are Back!


Today whilst reading my normal blogs that I normally read I came across a post that say birkenstocks are back and I am am ecstatic! I have been taunted for the last few years because of my love for my birks! If Free People says they are cool, then I believe it! If it weren't raining this weekend, I would be all over these... who knows. I still may. We are going to the Farmer's Market, people go barefoot there!

Holey Cucumber

I was so looking forward to my cucumber at lunch today. I have been craving them for weeks now. Before I starting peeling I had to decide how much I was going to eat. I sliced in and was devastated by a hollow center. Have you ever seen such a thing?

a brick oven and hot dogs on the weekend...


Sunday night, after we had all slightly recovered from our bad habits, HV, the neighbor, and Mustang Man thought it would be a grand idea to cook up some slabs o' pizza. And a grand idea it was. We couldn't have asked for better weather. And the dogs got along... mostly.  HV is master of the brick oven and he was teaching Mustang Man the art. I think Mustang Man's pizza was superb! HV also made 12 other pizzas with various toppings, including goat cheese, feta, caramelized onions, mushrooms, pineapple, jalapenos... and more! A great way to start the week!

Weekend plans...

Relaxing... Lounging... Sitting poolside. Oh, and drinking white wine with ice cubes! Ha ha! Mustang man didn't want the wine to get hot in our nearly 100 ° weather.
