// Picture Perfect Places: Torres del Paine

Woke up to this photo in my inbox this a.m. A soothing start to the day with so much mayhem and disasters happening around the world... Del Toro Lake, Torres del Paine, National Park, Chile. You can click within the image for a larger view. Take a breath.

// Have a Peaceful Holiday.~

{a touch of frosted pink}

And this is where we wrap up the year with blogging life for 2019. How has your year been? It's that time of reflection again. Back in May, I remember saying to my mom one night on the telephone that I didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the year (and that I wasn't even worried about it)... She stopped me mid-sentence and said, "No darling, death doesn't come that easy." Such consolation(!) I thought to myself back then. Well, here we are, with a few more days left on the calendar for 2019... Thank you for stopping by, and reading, and all your comforting words, prayers, and support, while enjoying some quiet blogging entertainment along the way...

// Meatless Movie Night Pizza

It's been a November trend that wasn't on the schedule — lazy homemade movie night pizza with new varieties here and there: these pitted green olives, fresh market zucchini, spinach, red radishes, pineapples, pears, and even walnuts, — on gluten-free wraps with a sauce that's done just-right, and slow-simmered to perfection. Letting go of meat-anything-and-everything on a Friday, all Fridays, regardless, made its way into the easy thin-crust pizza game too, and I still can't believe it. Oh my.

// About Last Week...

{'really enjoying our backyard these days; favourite hangout spot}

Just a few snaps of the week that was; our very first round of it, and earlier than expected too... Hello Monday(!), and have a good one. :)

// Have a Safe Halloween Weekend.

{boo!; a colourful surprize, and so nicely done}

October in a few captures. And here's to our extra one-hour sleep-in weekend as Daylight Saving Time ends this side. That's about it. Thanks everybody, and have a fun one. Happy Halloween! :) ~xx

// Have a Cozy Fall Weekend.~

{when the birthday boy says, "can it be all purple with some blueberries i can bite into, and can you do a fun purple?"; of course i can; more blueberry buttermilk ice cream days; happy belated special day Max! :)}

 

Fall might just be the season to do some well-needed catching up-- we missed getting to our major spring cleaning, and summer had its own agenda already in store for us. All we wanted to do on our weekends, was crash(!) and crash some more... But, I'm now thinking warm in-the-oven casseroles, full-bodied soups for carnivore lovers, apples and spices, flaky, full of flavour crusted pies and dancing when no one's watching, with our cool outdoor winds and open windows now in more constant mode. Who knows how it will all work out... We're taking it all in, taking it all in. Have a groovy weekend. More behind-the-scenes of the month after the jump... ~xx
