Loving April

April started out cold, windy, and intense. But there is still so much that I am enjoying.

Tulips from our garden near the wooded area in the backyard, along with an outstanding sunset from this evening after the rain.

Last weekend, the family wined and dined at a new restaurant in the Arrowhead Shopping Center in Herndon. The Szechuan style dining was delicious and will become a frequent location for lunch with the girls..

Smithsonian – National Museum of Asian Art

While in the District of Columbia this week I did a quick pop in to the National Museum of Asian Art to see a few of the ancient Chinese bronzes.

We live in a heavily wooded area, and the fox along with racoons get into the neighbors trash containers to find items to eat. They drag their goodies into everyone’s yard for a midnght snack., but no matter …….. I always appreciate getting outside regardless of the reason and the season!

Loving October

With the heat, barbecues, and fruit flavored cocktails now behind us, everyone’s focusing on the seasonal changes of fall. Neighbors have gone completely out with decorating their homes for Halloween, and as the weather has cooled, we’ve started getting the house and garden ready for winter at Heath. Repairing woodwork; window trim, replacing windows, and screens is a big job, but am glad the house is prepared to withstand frigid the weather.

During evening walks the sky produces a wonderous display of colors for everyone to enjoy, and if you’re lucky to have a clear view the October constellations can be breathtaking. 

My adorable two and half year-old niece enjoying an art class on a recent visit to Nemacolin in the southwestern mountains of Pennsylvania. I love Aria’s enthusiasm about her surroundings and life in general. 

These are a few crops from our garden that the deer did not ravage, a few tomatoes and a bit of yellow squash. The fresh taste are truly divine when planning an evening meal. We also have a batch of horseradish flourishing that will be added to stews or condiments.

The changing colors of the trees is always a gorgeous phenomenon to behold, and some nights while dinner cooks I enjoy relaxing for a few moments looking at the brilliant foliage from our window.

Stay stylish,
