{goodbye} august

It's the last day of August which means Summer is almost over! I can already feel the cool crispness of fall in the air. We've been under a burn ban that has recently been lifted so we'll still be able to enjoy a movie on our deck outside under the stars with a fire burning in the fire pit. It's one of my favorite things to do before winter sets in.
























My dog, Zoe, relaxing while we watch a movie on the deck with a fire in the fire pit. The firepit really isn't that close—it's just the camera angle.

Someday we'll have a bigger screen to watch movies outdoors on, but this works pretty well for now! Hope your last day of August is a good one!

{music inspiration} the bird and the bee

Lately I've really been enjoying The Bird and The Bee's tribute album to Hall & Oates. It's classic, fun and kitschy. I am particularly digging their cover of Maneater. Already fabulous on it's own but it gains mega cool points for having Shirley Manson of Garbage singing backup vocals.



And the original classic from Hall & Oates


Enjoy!!

{niceness} saying thank you

I always deeply appreciate when someone does something nice for me and love to send out thank you notes. With all the online ways to communicate these days like email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc., I find it refreshing to send a good old fashioned thank you note via snail mail. And, the people on the receiving end love it too! It's always a nice surprise to get something other than bills or advertisements in your mail box.

A cute morning latte made by my hubby &
thank you notes from The Spotted Olive™.


Has someone done something nice with you lately? Share it with us by posting a comment, we'd love to hear about it.
