Rainy day

Today is a stormy


Stay indoors


Kind of day.
Where sweaters


And hot tea


Should come your way!

Stay dry!

Fancy

Last Sunday my youngest and I hit the road to spend some time together. We planned on visiting one of the neighboring towns and on our way we crossed Tappan Zee Bridge, one of the old landmarks spanning the Hudson from Tarrytown to Nyack. Just as we were about to exit we we were passed by one of those lovely fancy vintage cars, white, ready to carry a bride and groom into their honeymoon...




(Proof that I had my hands on the wheel....my co-pilot took the pictures!)


This one I found at the parking lot at Wave Hill...


And I spotted this old VW Beetle model during our summer vacation in Volkach am Main.


This Chevrolet pickup drives around our neighborhood a lot...



Isn't this so cute?


I love an old convertible. Just classy!


I adore old cars. If I could have it my way - and a budget to splurge - I perhaps would drive one of those around town. When ever I happen to see one of those beauties, I take pictures, discreet or not, I have an absolute weakness.

Thank goodness I am not alone with my passion and as we arrived there was a beautiful Fire Engine, just waiting for the boy and his mom to be admired and explored. How good is that?





It was the perfect Sunday afternoon!

Friday post

The last days have brought rain and more rain, which in turn gave me inspirations to feather our nest.
We cleaned the cobwebs - yes the do exist in my house - from behind the sofa in our 'winter room'. We have started to move piles of fire wood from the outside in. We love to gather around the fire place, listening to music or read.
I have stocked up on books:






I washed wool blankets and changed pillows to accommodate cooler nights.


Apples are sitting in a large green bowl, ready to eat!
The kettle sings in the kitchen for a soothing cup of tea and we are looking forward to a peaceful and hopefully sunny and dry first October weekend!
