Wrapping The Week

Friday, September 30, 2011


More celebrating with the family this weekend. We are a joyful bunch for sure. The weather has been so glorious this week. Audrey and I went on a picnic after preschool yesterday and literally ate grapes and cheese while lying on a big old quilt under a tree. It felt decadent and from a different era. So relaxing and fun. On our long walk after dinner, she grew weary so Lindsey carried her home. I walked behind and watched her blow raspberries on his neck, both of them giggling with delight. I am lucky in about 5,000 ways.

I am kind of looking forward to no shave November (for Lindsey, of course). Sigh.

Oh, what promise!

Seasonal gourds have never been so hilarious.

These goodies from our trip have been so soothing.

Butternut squash with brown butter and rosemary was a big hit.

Library love.

On a somber note: This has been a sad week for St. Louis. On Monday, Bob Cassilly, artist and creator of the beloved City Musuem, died in a bulldozer accident working on his Cementland project. His contributions to the region are immense. He was a hero to creatives and dreamers and those of us who really love this city and recognize what a gem it is and all the potential it still has. He will be missed.
