17/52 Year of Happy







Four random things from my week that made me happy.

1. Sewing rows of granny squares together and finishing this little blanket. 
(see previous post for more piccys)

2. My youngest, Max turned 13 last week, we had a nice birthday lunch in his honour and had a lovely day all round.  I am officially the mother of 3 teenagers now.  I can't believe my baby is 13! Time flies when you're having fun they say, I'd have to agree.

3. Our lime tree that is covered in big juicy limes, looks so good.  Some are starting to ripen up, so lots of limey things on the menu soon.

4. The arrival of soup weather, I do love a hot bowl of soup for lunch, check out the colour of this pumpkin soup I made the other day. Gorgeous.  I only like pumpkin in soup, and this was yum.  I think I might have to do a 'soup of the week' post through the winter, I make it so often!


 This little weekly reminder to find the happy moments and remember them is something I am really enjoying!  Hope you are having a happy week too.

    Nice soup! When I first looked at the pic, I couldn't understand what it was - color is amazing!
    Happy gardening!

    Hi There,The only signs of an approaching winter season in my little corner of the world, is the fact that the trees are losing their leaves!!! Apart from that it is still quite hot here!!! Can't wait to have a good hearty plate of soup!!!!Mmmm...
    Love

    Congrats on your 13 year old! Your grannies look good and always so colorful. I make a similar soup only I use yellow squash since we dont get pumpkin here often.

    Have a great week!
