{Beauty in unexpected places... as everything else in the garden withers and dies with the November chill, these flowers somehow survived, and their cheeriness makes me smile each time I look outside.}

This week...
What I'm reading: The No Brainer Wardrobe and 21 Days to a More Disciplined Life
What I'm doing: Researching, continually researching, for a special family event. I'll tell... eventually. :)
What I've been making: Experimental meals for our grain-free stint, mostly good. But. Please note- egg/coconut flour wraps do NOT taste good with Thai inspired chicken, veggies, bean sprouts and peanut sauce. But, pan-seared Ahi Tuna with homemade garden pesto sauce that I froze back in September? Oh. my. goodness. yum.
What I'm watching: Rain steadily drip, drip, dripping from green patio umbrellas.
What I'm enjoying: Working with my husband on business projects. We make a good team.
Thanks for sharing my post!
I enjoyed reading what you are doing. That is a nice addition to just sharing links! A pity your coconut flour wraps didn't taste god with the Thai inspired chicken. It sure sounds delicious.
