It took forever for summer to arrive this year: mid-July was the first weather that could be considered "summery". We all figured (or, perhaps more accurately, merely hoped) that it would mean that fall would take its time getting here. No such luck :-( It's been rainy off-and-on for the past few days, and it looks to continue for the foreseeable future. Fingers crossed for an Indian summer in mid- or late-October! I'm not ready to wear my rain jacket all the time (though it is cute, and it was only $18! Yes, I purchased an item of clothing new, what the heck). This means, in part, that I have less motivation to do bloggery stuff, because all I want to do is sit inside drinking tea and reading a novel (still The Brothers Karamazov), and the lack of sunshine makes taking good swatch pictures veeeeery challenging. I do have a few things to review over the next couple of weeks, and I'll have a bunch of stuff after the Sephora Friends & Family sale (I. am. so. excited!), but, as I'm sure you've noticed, the blog has definitely slowed down! As recompense, here are some pictures of animals, and one of food:
So how are things in your world? Is the weather fallish for you yet? Do you welcome the changing weather, or wish summer would hang around longer?
A wallaby!! At a pet store where I got mealworms for "the boys" (as my mother calls Bandit and Tim, the sugar gliders; yes, I will work on getting you a video of both of them)
Bunny 1: she was cleaning herself by licking her paws and then rubbing them over her face/ears. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen, and I was literally hopping with excitement in the store (fortunately, no one else was there to see)
Bunny 2! Very sedately nomming on greens.
Chocolate sorbet from Provisions by Marché. That scoop was $1, and it was so rich and decadent that I couldn't even finish it. Amazing, right?!
