I can't believe it's already September and that the sunflowers are blooming in the garden. The summer went by way too fast. We made a quick trip up to the farm this weekend and saw our nieces. I picked some apples and gorged myself on my mom's apple bars.
I've never made shepherd's pie before, but we had some left-over leg of lamb and potatoes from Friday night, so we gave it a whirl and loved it. I like the way the mashed potatoes that you spread over the top become crispy and golden brown.
I'm working on another cowl, but I got hung up on the first round of lace and now it's sitting in the corner waiting to be torn out and started again. Perhaps a glass of wine and a Jane Austen dvd could serve as proper motivation to accomplish that task?
Back to work tomorrow. I'm ready to return to the swing of things.
What a beautiful sunflower - do you know the name of it? Sounds as though you had a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour little niece has the most piercing blue eyes! So beautiful :) Just like her Mama and her Aunty Jill! I'm actually trying to hunt down a good spot for apple picking around Philly.
ReplyDeleteApple picking sounds like a lot of fun with your little ones. I'm sure there are some beautiful orchards out there. I can't wait to see the pictures you take if you visit one. Thanks, Julia!
