Yummy Treats..

I thought I would share some yummy treats I have made. The chocalte covered strawberries were made for my cousins college graduation party since I know she loves them so much I thought it would be a nice treat. They went over well.

The cheescake pops were made for a family BBQ those also went over really well. The only problem was it was summer and they melted fast. I got the recipe online super easy recipe

-you take frozen cheescake make some balls

-insert cookie sticks

-dip in melted chocalte

-add sprinkles to the top

I then purchased this glass container from our local grocery store and put some rice in the bottom to help the pops stay up worked like a charm.

Summer Flowers

Well with the weather cooling down now and we are well into fall I thought I would give you a little recap of some of the flowers we had blooming in summer. Although going through the pictures I must admit I do not have many pictures of our flowers from summer which kind of bums me out because we had some pretty ones. Here are a few the yellow rose is from our rose garden in the back that my mom came up with and hubby planted. It is just a small little garden with a small retaining wall we have one pink rose bush and two yellow ones. Sadly I do not have a picture of the whole garden and now that we are into fall the garden does not look very pretty so next year I will have to get that shot of the roses blooming. The purple flowers are the million bells we had hanging on a hook by our side porch. I must say those took off and lasted the whole year those are so pretty. Well I will have to take some pics of the fall flowers to show you all. Which I better do that soon and not delay it like I did with the summer flowers....

Roses

For our 8th anniversary hubby came home from work with these beautiful roses for me. I loved the colors and they opened so nicely usually roses don't bloom to big. These ones had nice blooms that opened up and lasted awhile. What a nice surprise that was. I placed them in a crystal vase we received for a wedding gift how time goes by. I can't believe it has been 8 years already!

Vacation Time....

Well me and hubby took a vacation up north to Charlevoix for our 8 year anniversary long over due. Weather was great and had a wonderful time walking the downtown area, walking the pier and along the beach (we even jumped on the swings on the beach like kids). The restaurants were wonderful and the water was beautiful. I love spending time on the Lake Michigan side of the state the water and beaches are so perfect. Here are a few pictures we took while on vacation. The sand and water were so beautiful I had to take a picture pebbles and all I just thought that was a cool pic. The fall colors were pretty there were actually more then this of the changing leaves but this is all I got pretty good in a moving car. The rainbow hubby pointed out on our way home it was huge and it was actually a double rainbow but the other one was a little bit lighter. When we go on vacations I enjoy taking pictures of lighthouses what stories they must tell. While on the beach the seagull insisted we take a photo-op of him he did very well and turned out very handsome if I must say.
