I yearn for simple moments that help me slow down and feel centered.
Today, I wanted to share some of those moments I've been enjoying this summer.

Baking a Peach and Creme Fraiche Pie. 
Watching the garlic flowers slowly dry.
A perfectly ripe peach and not sharing it with anyone.
Spending time with good books (or at least trying to do so).

A DIY art project
in the backyard while watching the boys play.
And this is how it looked like by the time I was done with my projects.

During the midst of busy summer days, I collect those easy and slow moments that nourish my soul. May your week be filled with many simple moments.
You absolutely should fry it, if you have blossoms to spare! But stuff it with goat cheese and garlic first! That pie looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteGoat cheese and garlic sounds wonderful. I was going use a tempura batter. What do you think?
DeleteDefinitely a good choice. Dust them in corn starch (if you have it) first. Will make them soo crisp.
DeleteYup, I got corn starch! Can't wait to try this. Thanks for the suggestions! x
DeleteOh YUM ... that gorgeous pie. I want to invite myself over.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I scrolled down and saw the book ... and I just wanted to give you a huge.
What a lovely sweet serendipity this afternoon!

it should be the word HUG. but a huge hug says it, too!

Thank you again for the book, Linda! A great book to add to my summer reading list! xx
DeleteThe long languid days of summer are really meant to be enjoyed aren't they? Sounds like you and your little ones are having a lovely summer.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been busy yet fun. Have a wonderful rest of summer, Gam!
DeleteNice photos! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, SABA!
DeleteHi Yuko! Your backyard looks so lush and green...I'd love to spend time there myself! And that peach looks so luscious too, what a treat! (Maybe you can use a squirt gun to wash off your sticky hand?) And there's nothing like a good book. How wonderful to have such great blog-friends.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday :)

Love the idea of using a squirt gun to wash our hands! Perhaps I should use our sprinkler to have the boys take a shower :) And yes, I'm so blessed to have wonderful blog friends :)
