 {celebrating fall; lush and lively scenes from around our beautiful city}

 

Happy Friday and happy weekend! It's a wrap for this week, and what a busy week it was with covering some extra ground work, and taking care of some serious, long-term business. One last pending matter and we're hopefully good to carry on. Definitely, definitely, breakfast in bed (I'm thinking lunch too), catching up with a couple of favorite series missed this week, long and cozy lazey-dayzey morning sleep-ins, and quiet downtime are in order. Music and loved links from my travels around the web to close out our week below. Have a lovely weekend everyone.  ~xo

A few rural free-roaming sheep visited our city this week and of course we all wanted a closer look. At first, there was just a simple white fence around the sheep, but within the hour, a much taller wire fence appeared within the already secured white fence. I'm still not sure if a sheep was trying to break free or too many folks were climbing over the fence to pet the sheep. Rare sightings like these always make me smile. Hope you had a great week, and here's wishing you an even better weekend. Music and loved links from my recent travels around the web.  ~xo

// This Month's Reading Rounds

Hi everyone and a happy early loong weekend as we head into a Civic Holiday on Monday, August 3rd. Another holiday? Yes! ;) My energy is all over the place with doing so many exciting and engaging things with folks and projects I enjoy, and I think also with getting closer to the new school year. Whoever said variety is the spice of life, knew their 'marbles' inside and out. For now I'm hanging onto the mantra, "Too blessed to be stressed", and hopefully it will take me through the entire year ahead at least. Thanks for popping by this month and enjoy these loved links from my monthly reading rounds. Have a lovely weekend. xx
