End of Day...

It is 6:45 p.m. and I can't help but notice the light fading already. It has been a cool, grey day but even that doesn't account for the gloaming I see outside. I love Autumn, but summers light, oh how I will miss it! So I am getting ready to curl up and enjoy my Saturday evening. The bread is baked (6 loaves of honey wheat, I shared one warm with our neighbor:>),
Earl's favorite candle is lit. Cinnabon Caramel Pecanbon. Mmmm, it smells like a bakery!
The kitchen is clean and there is a pot of chicken stock simmering on the stove.
I have cut out some more heart and home pillows, although I just don't know if I will get them finished and listed before I leave for Florida tuesday. I hope you don't mind. I will try but the days are flying past! I will make time to announce the winner of the giveaway pillow Monday morning!
And now I have my mug of coffee on this chilly night (decaf of course!) and I am ready to get "Lost in Austen" with Victoria. She and I are huge Jane Austen fans. Earl, not so much. He has a book to read though so he will be cozy too:>)
And now I'm off to watch the movie. Work is finished and it's kick back and relax time. I hope you have a relaxing weekend too:>)

    Oooh, the bread smells s-o good! And the chicken stock, too. The candle adds a nice aroma to the coziness of your cottage. I'll be right over to join you and Victoria. Do you have an extra teacup - or should I bring mine? Have a great weekend. I'm about ready to slow down and enjoy the rest of mine. I think! ~Adrienne~

    I saw Lost in Austen a few months back (Netflix). You'll like it - I loved how it ended. I like the actress Jemima something that's the main character. She was in the Railway Children (which is a wonderful movie if you haven't seen it yet - PBS).

    Everything looks so homey! I'm sure your neighbors appreciated the homemade bread! I know I would!

    Oh I love the weather today, I can't help it, I love fall. I think it's because I'm a nester and Fall and winter means nesting. Summer is nice but I get really tired of the humidity. Have a wonderful evening and rest of the weekend.

    Hugs,
    LeAnn:)

    Oh, Kathy!! This post had me feeling so comfy and cozy too! I wish I had baked bread and made soup!! Honey wheat. Would love the recipe when you are not so busy (the pillow looks beautiful!).

    I hope you have a wonderful time in Florida, my friend! :-)

    yes comfy and cozy says it all. I also love the crisp fall weather, but I'm finding myself appreciating each moment of whats left of Summer, oh how I will miss it! Winter can just skip Virginia this year as far as I'm concerned!

    That bread looks delicious!
    You should see the look on my husband's face if I suggest a Jane Austen movie...I think he might even roll his eyes.

    I hope you have a great time in Florida!

    Lovely, lovely post Kathy. I don't know how I missed this the other day...the bread looks amazing (and bless you for sharing with your neighbour!). I too am an Austen fan...where would the world be without having had Jane Austen???
