Inside Out

I've been in a major house cleaning mode.
Clearing clutter that I am convinced is muddying up my mind.

Today, I was especially motivated and got a ton of things done!
You know those days where consulting the to-do list isn't even necessary
because you are in a zone....that's me right now.

Another goal.....get to bed before midnight!

Superb Summer Day

The left side of our driveway is blanketed with a generous amount of blackberry vines,
as well as, fragrant layers of white clematis.
This past weekend, we made a pseudo cobbler with the plump blackberries we picked.
I'm hoping that we can keep up with the rate that these fruits ripen.
I am most definitely going to make another 'cobbler', but what else?!
The receipe we used was from Pioneer Woman's Cook website. LINK
It was extremely easy to make, and didn't take a slew of time or ingredients.
However, I would like to try the more complicated version......maybe?!?
I guess I've been really getting into doing things easy, and cheap.
Not that I'm going to sacrifice quality, but you know, I like to save time AND money!

If you have any ideas on what I can do with all these blackberries I would love to hear them :)



I just wanted to say thank you for the lovely comments on the previous post...

Silence isn't always found in peace and quiet.
Other influences can grant us a peace just as gentle, and uncommunicative.
I truly appreciate you sharing your 'moments' with us,
may you have many more to fill the days.

Sweet Treats

I bought cherries a week or so ago for the sole purpose of photographing them.
I have what you would call a 'thing' for cherries, particularly cherry related kitchen items.
For some time, I have said to myself that I needed to take some photos of the fruit to hang in my kitchen.
I finally did, and this one, in its TtV fashion happened to be my favorite.
Of course I put my newfound photoshop spin on it.

The name "Sour Cherries" comes from a song by one of my most favorite bands, The Kills.
How about I dedicate this photo to my most favorite girl, B. I can't wait for October!

Here is a very different cherry shot I posted over at the {366} blog.



Now, about the upcoming festivities......
I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get more of a fuss when mentioning a GIVE-A-WAY!
I mean, show a little excitement people?!?! haha
I suppose that I'm a little more excitable since I know what's in store.
I am feeling pretty darn generous too - just so you know!
Let's create some pandemonium here,
especially since the word FREEBIE is involved.
That is, unless you're not at all interested?!
And if that's the case......
that just means there is more for everyone else!!!
(insert evil laugh from The Count here)
