It makes me smile to see so many things in full bloom.\u00a0 And to enjoy fresh fruit from the backyard. Hubby brought up a fresh orange for me the other day.\u00a0 It was so good and fresh \u2013 So I had to run back out to check out the figs.\u00a0 The figs are still green, but I keep making a trek every other day or so to see how they are coming along.<\/p>\n

A picture along the path.<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/p>\n

One of our favorite meals\u00a0would be\u00a0our simple grilled lunch.\u00a0 I’ve been jonesin for sausage peppers and onions.<\/p>\n

I think my little grill foil packet was the best.\u00a0 I loaded it up with peppers onions and Italian sausage (cut before cooking)\u00a0+ added smoked paprika and garlic salt to the mix.\u00a0\u00a0It was simple but the\u00a0flavors were\u00a0spot on.\u00a0\u00a0I did not have to add any type of oil, butter or water.\u00a0 The veggies and sausage made plenty of juices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And hubby’s been in the mood for a turkey dog,\u00a0fries and an ear of corn\u00a0for quite sometime.\u00a0 So today, we both got our fill of the things we wanted.\u00a0 It was so good, that we’ve talked about doing round 2 tonight.<\/p>\n

Old Books<\/p>\n

I have a \u201cthing\u201d for old books. One of my favorites is the old Bible on the top right.\u00a0\u00a0Published 1839. I purchased that Bible some 21 + years ago for only $5.00.<\/p>\n

I wanted to change-up the mantel this weekend.\u00a0 It was seasoned with old books\u00a0and was inspired\u00a0by pinterest.<\/p>\n

Monday is Coming<\/p>\n

Hubby\u00a0spent part of his weekend working in the garage.\u00a0 And we’ve decided this has been the best 5 days in a row at home.\u00a0 I sure wish I could order a few more vacation days on top of the already 5 day holiday I got to spend with him.\u00a0 But I suppose his vacation days will come in handy another time.<\/p>\n

Until then, it’s time to start embracing the fact that Monday morning is just around the corner.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Monday, I think it will be a good day to start something new.\u00a0 More on that tomorrow.<\/p>\n
