I tried out Pioneer Woman's iced coffee recipe this morning and oh my word it is amazing!! We cut the recipe in fourths because we didn't have a big storage container, but it still made almost 2 liters of coffee concentrate using 1/4 lb of grounds. YUM!
I am very thankful that Irene did not affect us too much. She came overnight and stormed while we slept (except when she woke Emily up...) and the only damage we witnessed was a large tree that fell toward the street on a neighboring property. The second half of Sunday was beautifully sunny and today has been even more pleasant. Enjoyed the cooler, sunny weather with Emily this morning on a stroll.
Had a great chat with a far away friend last night. Don't you love those? Seems hard to schedule them anymore, but it is so worth it. Friends are such a blessing for encouragement, sharpening, and celebrating.
Fall is just around the corner here. I probably write about this every year around this time, but I love a good seasonal and semester transition to get me on a fresh new schedule. Things we have in store around here this fall: free toddler gym times at local churches, women's retreat mornings once a month for moi :-), library singing and story times starting again, trips to North (science) Museum, pumpkin patches, and sweaters.
What have been some of your happy moments so far today?

Drew planned out activities for our vacation celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We wont be going for a few months, but it got me all excited about it!
ReplyDeleteI am totally going to make that iced coffee. Thx for posting! Are you a chai fan? I love the Tazo chai concentrate (what they use at Starbucks) for making homemade lattes. Drinking it right now!
ReplyDeleteGlad you all are safe from Irene.
Happy thought: waking up to cool, fall-like air this morning. Unfortunately, it is still going to get in the mid-90s with humidity ... fall is coming soon to TN, though! :)
