Does anyone else love the sound of rustling leaves and wind in the trees? I know I do. We have some leaves now, but the great fall (pun intended) will be closer to the end of the month, the beginning of November here.
The two mums that TBG brought home are gorgeous. This photo was from a week ago, so they have even more blooms now. I've decorated the front porch with some fall and Halloween items, and it looks nice, but I really wish I could fit in a couple of mums out there, but I've learned my lesson with the deer. (I will try to remember to get a picture this week)
Our local fall festival last weekend was fun. It was a gorgeous sunny day, a bit warm, but still nice. 12 of TBG's Tae kwon do students held a demonstration that had a really good crowd. It's always so nice to see them learning and improving and enjoying it. We walked around for a while then decided to skip the LONG parade and go have lunch at Yellin Helen's. Sitting at a picnic table under the shade trees was really nice after a long walk.
Yesterday we decided to go about an hour north of us to the fall festival they were having. There were so many different vendors to check out it was a nice late morning walking around. We passed on all of the food truck options and went to a BBQ place to sit and relax instead. It really is a fun atmosphere, and the food was really good too. I really enjoyed my beef brisket sandwich.
TBG had one of his military veteran hats on so the owner came and asked him if he would sign the Wall of Heroes which he was happy to do. We all talked a bit and found out he had a food truck for 7 years and also did catering and just opened the brick and mortar 3 months ago. You can tell they put a lot of thought and time into it. It all looks really good. The poxy floor is gorgeous; a local artist did all of the murals and they have great details even in the bathroom.
Other meals this week...
Enjoy your Sunday and the next week ahead.
I'm in your leave crunching mode! Love the sound. We've still got a lot of green here, more than usual. I'm debating the non coloring. I hated the time from a picture where it just looked streaky but I've let my hair grow too long so that might be it in part. I'll decide this month on that. Good luck to the restaurant owner and it's successful in a regular space.
ReplyDeleteI love the little heart in your bread! I made a loaf the other day and as I type, new dough is fermenting for today's loaf. This past week I went back to fully cooking, creating veggie dishes and bread making (oven working again), and it's been wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes on the leaves. I'm outside now and it's raining leaves and this is THE BEST TIME OF YEAR EVERRRRRR. Had a few macro walks, enjoying the back deck, soon to get another cuppa. Sounds like I need to make that into a cartoon!
Wishing you a wonderful week of fall ahead with a great big side of boogie boogie 👻
I have never been impressed with food truck food, even though that's all the rage. I'm glad you found that BBQ place and that TBG got to sign the wall. That's so nice that they honor veterans. Your hair is long! And I've always admired it in your profile picture. It looks very pretty! My natural hair looks exactly like a witch's wig, so I will continue to color! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat nice visits you had over the last week. Fall festivals are always neat. Most of the ones around here, are pretty far away.
ReplyDeleteYour meals all sound delish.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
