Dining Room Changes...

Before...

After!... Out with the new and in with the *old*

I recently stumbled upon a lovely antique dining room table at an estate sale that I could not pass up. It needs a little reinforcement and a LOT of Murphy's, but we'll love it all the same.

This morning, Elliott woke me up at 6 am because he wanted to go outside. I couldn't go back to sleep so I made some delicious pumpkin scones for Jonathan before he woke up.

Recipe for the pumpkin scones found here. (Thank you Emily for the good find!) I used homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned and they turned out fabulous!

Happy (Halloween) Weekend!

Happy Autumn

Yesterday, I went Antiquing with an older woman from our fellowship and my friend Stacey. We hit some great places and found some lovely treasures. I fear that I am slowly but surely falling prey to the art of antiquing, I stayed up half the night thinking of all the new and unoriginal pieces of furniture we own, and how I must slowing sell everything and over time be collecting beautiful antique pieces!

Last night I went to the Symphony (by myself). Jonathan enjoys walking around the zoo wednesday mornings alone, just to think and pray. And there is this particular owl he enjoys visiting with. And I enjoy dressing up and dodging leaves on my way to Powell Hall to enjoy the symphony concert alone.

The concert was: Beethoven (1770-1827) No. 4, which was very lovely. However my favorite was the later half: Schubert (1797-1828) Mass No. 6 which was phenomenal. All in Latin, with 4 amazing soloists. One was a big Italian dude, with black sleek hair and an breathtaking voice. Next week: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho...

And I never go a week without listening to some MGMT...
