two weeks into november..

i know...
it's been a very quiet blog.
i blame my new phone.
i blame instagram.
i blame lots of rainy days.
i'm sorry.

i went to a lovely foodie bash...
i should blog about it and
i will, but first a quick catch up.
i made this soup.
butternut squash, parsnip and apple.
i had something like it at the event and i LOVED it!

we have had a few (like two) bright sunny days.
i sure soaked them up,
played happy music...
danced...

a few days ago
i popped into the antique store...
not sure what led me to find this little pup.
he was in a glass display..
very well hidden.
he is so tiny and sweet.
mine.

it certainly becomes nice and cozy around here
right about the time dinner is being prepared.
getting dark outside so early...

smell it?
mmmmmmm.....bacon for our salad...

we've had lots of these pretty silhouettes. 

and lots of down time.

 but something else is very different around here...
emma went to b.c. for 3 weeks.

 we're missing her.

thanks for remembering to stop by...
i think i've missed my nikon too.
