Lately.

I love this time of year.

I like how things slow down a little.

Time to enjoy some sweet little things.

Lately I've been enjoying...

 Cottage cheese with fruit.  

This is one of my new favorite things.

I very much like it with sliced red grapes, sliced bananas 

and slivered almonds.

It's like healthy dessert.

Oh so good!

 My coach has been working with me for quite a while to try to get my backhand better.

I used to have a two handed...think Nadal.

But it felt so much better to me to use a one handed...think Federer.

So the switch has been a long process.

But I am happy lately because I am starting to feel very comfortable with it.

Maybe soon it could even be a weapon!

Practice!  Practice!  Practice!

So I thought the birds ate all my grapes this year.

I have four different seedless varieties.

They wiped me out of my favorite green ones.

But throughout the last week, I have discovered

that they did not eat my blush colored ones!

AND they are DELICIOUS!

I just sit on the ground and pick off all the ripe ones,

and pop them into my mouth one by one.

Joy.

I'm not sure why, but sometimes I need soft music.

And that is all I will listen to for a while, 

because my soul likes the calm.

So, crazy as it sounds, I have had my radio on the 

SYMPHONY station of all things!

I know, I know.

But I have found that I really love Brahms!

And Beethoven.  

But especially Brahms.

One of my best friends, Valoree is getting married in October!

(She is the cutie on the far right).

I am thrilled for her!!  It is wonderful!

And you know what?

She asked me to be a bridesmaid!

Isn't that exciting?

Elece & Janelle are too!

This is DEFINITELY a sweet little thing.

The pumpkins in my garden are GROWING!

This is the first time I have grown pumpkins,

and I LOVE to see them.
Bright orange and round!

What kinds of sweet little things have you been enjoying lately?
