This summer has been really, really enjoyable. We’re settling into our new place and making it our own. These instagram images are a good taste of what summer has been like so far. Sweet, quiet, warm, creative. Now that I am only teaching part-time at the college I have all of Tuesday and Thursday’s to do other things. It’s wonderful to be able to spend an entire day cooking, reading, helping others, errand running. I’m grateful for this unique season of more time. 
We now have a potted garb garden with basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and lavender. Most of which I use regularly. The lavender I need to harvest (any suggestions), but I walk by, pick a bud and smush it between my fingers to enjoy it’s relaxing aromatic aromas. Mmmm…
And then I have taken on a few little DIY projects. All of which I will share once they’re done…the trick it to not bite off more than you can chew, but oh, that is oh-so-tempting! 
Our homemade pizza 101 coming up!

Oh, I want to have an herb garden when I move into my house next month!
You should! The trick is to just go out get everything you’ll need for the little project as soon as you move in and you’ll be on your way!
Ah, your summer looks and sounds wonderful:) I love that you bake your own bread and a herb garden is a must, isn’t it? I have one on my little balcony as well and we use all the herbs for cooking every single day. Have a wonderful Wednesday, sweetie.
Thanks! It has been a wonderful summer indeed. I hope yours is a sweet one as well!
