Some days don't follow a plan and today is one of those days. My post is just made up of moments that have tumbled together in my mind, and hopefully this will make for an unexpected nice Tuesday post.
First off, I'll show you a picture of my Birthday Dinner. Let me just say that when the food is this good, calories don't count!! This is a wonderful place that serves the best Italian food....I was totally full after dipping the warm bread into the bowl of olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasonings.
Then there is my Pear Relish project!!
I started chopping, stirring and mixing yesterday and now my kitchen smells like September!!
Today, I will load those jars with the sweetest tasting relish, seal the jars and give them a good water bath. It takes time to make this relish but it is so worth it... Just a tablespoon on top of fresh peas or pinto beans makes them taste like pure country sunshine on a plate.

Now, for a good laugh and a sweet invitation!! I saw this picture on Facebook of goats riding in an old truck. The caption "Get in, we're going for coffee." So here is your invite to come on and join me and the goats...they looked like they were having a great time and I know we all would have a lot of fun as well.
Of course, I would have to borrow an old truck, but I'm sure we could all fit. Don't worry...my drivers license are good for at least one more year!!
Got to show y'all something that is more than beautiful....things can be more than beautiful can't they? A gift captured by a dear friend... What comes to my mind is: ...a fiery horizon where the golden light has melted into the waves...
One more thing for today!! I found myself some new frog shoes!! You read this right...Shoes that look like frogs! Please don't be jealous... I will even let anyone that wants to, borrow them!! Life is way too short to wear boring footwear isn't it?
Just kidding!! 😉
Birthday dinners, pear relish, goat coffee runs, sunsets and frog shoes...I hope your day will be filled with little surprises like these...
It's a fun day to have fun!

I don't drink coffee but I'll go with you and the goats anyway. :)

Such a beautiful family sharing your birthday and wonderful Italian food! I can't get over the beyond-beautiful sunset photo, either. I took my breath away! Blessings, Shug!
