sunday FUNday! another stupendous day this weekend. felt like fall here in Long Beach. like a real fall day, fresh crisp air with a touch of California warm. such a gorgeous day.
i'm in a fally fall mood which influenced our morning indeed. heading to our local farmers market, i was after crisp apples from the adorable man who raises and sells them. he's incredibly amped giving out samples and tallying up totals.
also after organic peppers, jalepenos, onions and tomatoes for some mighty fine chili. so off we went at 830 a.m. to beat the morning rush. traffic, traffic everywhere. roads blocked off. GADZOINK!!! long beach marathon today. just our luck. but we kept a smile and detoured for a good hour to find our market CLOSED. nope, not gonna damper our day. quickly pulled a u-ey into our local whole foods. snatched up some goodies along with a 6 pack of pumpkin ale. so could not resist!
mind you, i'm not a big drinker and definitely not so much on beer. but the real pumpkin and spices sold me. i'm a sucker for cute packaging and seasonal finds.
another hour home - p.s. we live like 10 minutes away. but nothing could ruin our moods. we had tasty treats in our back seat, the sun was a shinin'. we dug into our organic bean chips. what could we complain about?
a day filled with fall cleaning. renovated our bedroom, dusted, vacuumed, the whole 9 yards. night was upon us, the house was clean and chili a simmer. it was time to indulge in our pumpkin brew and sunday nite TV. awww, the life. happy happy!
a note... i heart pumpkins. next week we're off to a local pumpkin patch. i just discovered a fabulous blog by the notorious Eddie Ross. (from Top Design) here are a few of his postings that will inspire my weekend's pumpkin craftiness.
