cheers to a summer well spent - full of sun, tomatoes and happiness. (we will really miss the tomatoes around here once they've vanished from the garden)
Oh, how do you do it? Fingers, toes, the perfect produce as is vanishes with summer. And what is left? A cute plate, and a feeling of just having read a lovely poem about the changing of the seasons.
The new banner made me smile- makes me want to curl up in that spot with a good book and take a nap :)
And what a yummy snack- love the before and after shots!

Lovely metaphor in those photos - a summer savored, devoured and nourishing to the heart and soul. Love the new banner :-)

Ah yes, but now the butternut squash soup, woolens, fires in the fireplace, brisk days with a blue sky, and fall leaves.

Love the sentiments here and the new header. Getting fancy with the shading of the type? So sweet in pink!!!

You now what I love about the first photo? The hands and feet! So sweet :-)
Posted by: Beth | September 22, 2007 at 01:03 PM
The fact that there are two sets of hands and one set of feet in that first photo is so great :) Intentional or not, it's perfect.
No CGF for you this year? It was packed today, but so much fun! Nice way to celebrate the end of summer and beginning of fall.

I love your pictures-especially the one a post or so ago of the shadows-bed-floor etc.
Great photography and your daughters room is also beautiful!

I have those plates! The whole set actually..the teacups are what sold me, completely filled with a soft turquise-y, robin's egg-ish color.
