October comes to an end this week..

 " Witches, goblins, ghosts and ghoulies,

Wait for Halloween night;

They hide behind trees, and bite your knees,

Make you scream with fright; …"

 It is that time of the year...Halloween.

 I'm sure many of you will be celebrating this weekend with your kids, family or friends. By having hearty soups, pumpkin patches, apple cider or...

 ... cozying up by the fire witting the witches and the ghoulies to knock on your door...

Aaaaaouuuuuuwww...

Happy Halloween everyone!

Summer Fades Into Fall

With the end of the Labor Day weekend, the traditional end of summer occurred.

 This year the first day of autumn occurs at 4:05 am on Friday, September 23.

 Nature and science have also determined that summer is over and fall is here. 

Yes fall is here.

 Even thou the fall months can be tricky in Orange County, CA.

 I see some of the leaves are slowly turning color, which can only mean that fall is here! I can’t believe how quickly the summer has passed by! 
I know it's always nice to transition into the cooler months of fall.

I love, love, love the gloomy, wet weather - 
I'm looking forward putting on a scarves, and wearing my boots;
I'm looking forward to hot cup of Aja (Ethiopian hot oatmeal drink) on cool nights;
 I'm looking forward to big pot of homemade soup. Hmmm God bless fall!


Let the this gorgeous outdoor design inspire you to create your own cozy retreat for fall.

Wishing you fall beauty and peace to be with you :)

Curb Your Enthusiasm….

Pretty, Pretty, Pink 

Enthusiasm originally meant inspiration or possession by a divine.

Now… In the modern age meant 

Adventurous, constantly busy with many activities with all the energy and they grab life for its different joys …

 In la la beri design definition… the Enthusiast... should refers to ...

...Some who truly live in the pink moment? 

Wishing you a Pretty, Pretty day :)

Hang In There…

Yes it is very hot in Inland Orange County, CA, 93°F 34°C today, not humid though.

 

The weather forecast says tomorrow will be High 99°F...

In my daydreams, I transport myself to ocean,...

on a sailboat, the smooth and quiet sea beside me.

Now it is cool, the air is delicious,

... and I am gliding, a bird on water...

Come aboard, there's lots of room.

Or... hang in there…very soon there will be clouds…

...fog, rain, drizzle…

Wishing you a very happy weekend.
