late summer in the city

Savoring the final days of summer like the last bottle of a favorite wine.

We're off to the cabin this weekend for one last visit this year. A bientot!

back to the cottage

We went back to the Wisconsin cottage for a few days to celebrate the beau's birthday. He has celebrated 19 out of 20 of his last birthdays there, and I can certainly understand why.

Beautiful sunsets.

Frutti di bosco, aka wild blackberries. We ate most of the ripe ones from this bush before I took the photo.

Lookin' pretty good after another year! Happy birthday amore!
