It seems incredible to go from seering and dry 47C (110F+) to rain and cool night breezes! September here is normally still hot, but who knows if we'll get another heat wave. Summer isn't over, but it's on it's way out. I'll miss it, it's our first enjoyable Summer here. I'll be squeezing every moment out of it that I can... before embracing my favourite season.
So, it's been a tough week. I needed these joys to look back on.

Lovely joy pockets Mon. Was so pleased to do my own this week for the first time ever. Roof-top dining sounds divine. I "think" I stopped Word verification on my blog. Check and see! Didn't realize it was such an annoyance to so many.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great session of joy pockets. It has been rather cooler here this week(thankfully), but I too am going to miss the summer. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo!!
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try roof-top dining. Someday I'll get to try it. :)
I love when my little ones draw on their own. It's so fun to see where their imaginations take them.
These posts are always so lovely. I have to agree with you on the word verification. I see more and more bloggers getting rid of it and that makes me breathe a sigh of relief. I really hate typing in things like "dbuenskeg" just to leave a comment!
ReplyDeleteI will have to go checkout your new pinboard!! And rooftop dining sounds perfect. Painting wood? for art? or just house touch ups? I'm hoping for art so that we can see :).
ReplyDeleteAnd a lovely weekend to you friend!
I can totally relate to you squeezing out the last moments of summer although here it still hasn't rained. The nights are a bit cooler but the days still searing hot.
ReplyDeleteRoof-top dining sounds wonderful as does spotting a squirrel.
Have a great weekend.
Glad I could contribute a little bit of joy this week. I love that photo...

What better way to drink in the final days of summer than by doing a bit of a rooftop dining? Anything and everything is bearable with shoulders to lean on, too. I hope next week is heat wave free and filled with even more joy than this one!
ReplyDeleteend of the week and exhausted... love that picture you use in this post particularly because a new book is one of my joy pocket this week;
ReplyDeleteand yes, I must check wether i have word verification or not...?
happy week end to you, xo sandra
Great photo! I hate to see summer go.

I loved that squirrel spotting part of your joy pockets :) I adore squirrels! What book are you reading in the picture? I can identify the words 'Bartholomew' and 'knight' and if I try guessing with these clues, it looks like a historical romance :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's one stunning photograph! And one hefty looking book :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've had a tough week, but glad you've got friends to lean on. You know I'm here for you too, right?
Hooray for more people turning off word verification! That's what I like to hear!
sounds great. can we see the drawing?
ReplyDeleteRoof top dining sounds great! My favorite is the silent smiles at breakfast with Miss 3. How sweet?! Like a little secret for Mommy and Miss. Love it. Have an awesome weekend, Friend!!

We got some cool nights, too. Right now the weather is perfect. I love fall, too, but not ready for it yet!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get to eat on a roof??
Love your photo! I am so ready for cool nights, we had a mini heat wave this week! I love the roof top dining and your squirrel spotting. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is so peaceful, so serene.
ReplyDeleteAnd photography in the mail makes me happy. Definitely a joy pocket.

Hearing you on the hard week, that's why I fell off the Joy Pocket boat. Good for you for hanging on.
XO
Great photo, and some lovely joys there. A visit here is like taking a welcome break in my busy day. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be spring in Australia now, but it's cold and rainy today ... I'm sure the sunshine will be here soon.
hope you are enjoying your last bits of summer! i was wondering where you are exactly. we stayed in ulcinj for a few nights during our honeymoon travel.
ReplyDeleteCory, sorry it's been tough for you as well. but having these to look back on makes for a better ending to the week when it's been like that i find.
ReplyDeleteanyone who is anti word verification is on my awesome list :) there is a fun button on my blog for it!
ReplyDeleteJoy pockets is a wonderful idea. I came visiting today from Sweet Sky.
ReplyDeleteI just love that picture at the beginning of your post <3 you are a very talented lady! I'm working on a picture collage for a cluster art wall and that definitely inspired me.
ReplyDeleteRoof top dining and friends with ever ready shoulders to lean on...beautiful i hope that next week is cooler for you. xxx

ReplyDeleteThat photo is simply wonderful. I could use a day like that ;-)
Very nice list. Rooftop dining is perfect for summer. grab grab it while you still can.
ReplyDeleteRooftop dining sounds magical and sharing silent smiles with your daughter, perfect week!! I tried again to get on but it didn't work but I will try one last time this friday but in the meantime here is my page.

your photograph is so inviting. it causes me to want, WANT to be that. my joy - my children home, eating cookie dough with them, feeling their smooth pennies run over by the trains, collecting acorns, touching rock shaped by the river.
