a menagerie of musings // september

9.09.2011


This tiny little bundle of beautiful? She's the newest addition to this family of mine. Words cannot express how excited I am to be related to yet another sweet little girl. Hello, Codie Rose.



Relishing in delicious beverages, while laughing at my Dad and sister's pathetic attempt at a game of checkers. That's precisely how I bid farewell to my Summer, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.


pinning on my inspiration wall // lunch in the city // tea smoothies & friendship bracelets // the help was amazing




I'm a country girl at heart. Most of my Autumns consist of long rides on the combine and family picnics amidst fields of wheat. This year, however, there hasn't been much harvest, because of flooding. So, until next Autumn, I get my country fix from a wheat field literally just a hop, skip, and a jump away from my house. While it's no match for family harvest time, it's beautiful, nonetheless. 



"Panna-cakes that nana makes.", we say. Yes, my Nana's pancakes are so delectable, they acquired their own little rhyme somewhere along the way. ;)

What are you loving about September?

xo,

abbey

  9. Codie is adorable! What a sweet photo. And Panna-cakes sound absolutely wonderful -- especially ones Nana makes. :) My grandma's bluberry pancakes are my favorite; I'll never understand how she makes something so simple so delicious. xx.

  10. codie is gorgeous!

    i'm absolutely loving september this year. the shift back into a schedule has been a little bittersweet, but it's been a good shift. i'm happy being back on the taylor campus and seeing friends again. so far, fall's been amazing. and the addition of a new penpal hasn't made it any worse. ;)

  15. Codie Rose is adorable! And, we live in the country too and things were harvested in late August, since the crazy weather this year meant all the farmers wanted to bring their crop in before any frost. There's amazing cylindrical bales of hay everywhere, and all the rapeseed has been cut short, and I've seen several ponies and far too many tractors holding up the traffic!

  16. Thanks for posting a picture of Codie, Abbey! I take all that I can get. She is pretty cute, isn't she? And I love reading all of your friends comments about how much they love her name!! I'll have to tell Amy to come and check out this post so she can read these...she'll love it.

    I love September because it's a change of season and a change of wardrobe! I like to get out my jeans again (although I haven't yet) and shop for long sleeved T-shirts and wear flats! It is still quite summery here in Nova Scotia, but the nights are definitely cooler and feeling like fall.

    Are you surviving school so far???

    Our September has been August like, and I love it!
