There have been a few cooler days, teasing us into thinking fall is coming. Though we all know what is really going to happen, the heat is going to come back and stick around awhile! The garden seems to be winding down a little bit, so I thought it would be a good time to take some photos. First, our front porch plants have done so well! Pink geraniums and moss rose are a fun combo.

A close up of what a moss rose flower looks like:

Cooler weather, very ripe bananas, and super fun measuring spoons all come together for a perfect excuse to bake. I had wanted to try a recipe from the book The Most Decadent Diet Ever! for sometime now. When I saw banana coconut mini-muffins in it, I knew they would be the winner! And they were so very yummy.

Here are the adorable cupcake measuring spoons that my mother-in-law gave me for my birthday. I think they are the cutest thing ever, and they are quiet heavy too! When not in use, they stay out in the kitchen as decoration. Some thing are too cute to keep in a drawer.

What have you been up to lately? Is it beginning to feel a bit more like fall in your neck of the woods?

   Its rainy, but cool. I love it! I’m going to visit my parents in Florida soon and it is rainy, but not so cool there. Ugh…

   Those measuring spoons are fantastic. I’m in love with unique measuring cups and spoons!

   Our summer heat is supposed to break this weekend and so I think that now we will be heading towards fall. The heat has taken a toll on my garden pots and flowers. They are looking quite beaten. I hope with cooler weather things might perk up a bit. The muffins look yummy and I love those measuring spoons! What a thoughtful gift!
   I’m up to my neck in preserving and pickling, in the heat which is no fun, but come the dead of winter we will be enjoying ever jar!
