Five little things I loved this week:
Sunflowers and Gardens
When I was at the 17th Annual Kendall-Jackson Heirloom Tomato Festival last Saturday, I was like a moth to a flame when I spotted the garden. Perhaps the metaphor should be bee to a flower — specifically the happy, welcoming sunflowers that beckoned from amid the beans and fading tomato plants!
Turning a Canceled Wedding Into Dinner for Homeless
I can’t imagine the sorrow couples and families feel when a wedding is called off. But there’s one family whose sad turn of events becomes something meaningful. See what happens when a couple turns their daughter’s canceled wedding into a dinner for homeless.
Julia Child & Discarded Titles
Finding the perfect title must have been a challenge for Julia Child, her co authors and editor Judith Jones as they prepared their epic cookbook. I loved seeing the list of titles they considered along the way.
Decluttering the Kitchen
My gadget drawer could use a little help, so The Kitchn’s timely advice on decluttering will be put to good use.
Conan Furloughs Non-Essential Staffers
Speaking of weeding out non-essentials, I couldn’t help but find some humor in how Conan O’Brian takes the government’s shutdown to heart and performs an audit of his own staff.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. If you see sunflowers, think of me!
Liren, the sunflowers are gorgeous! The garden at Kendall Jackson must have been spectacular as well. And, such a heart breaking/heart warming story all in one about the cancelled wedding and turning some very sour lemons into lemonade. I can’t imagine having to cancel my daughter’s wedding, but I can imagine how the sad turn of events must have brought joy to so many others.
Gorgeous sunflowers and I’m so touched by that story of the dinner for the homeless – amazing way to turn a sorrow into a blessing!
What a nice thing they did for the cancelled wedding! Its sad that the wedding was cancelled, but I think its better that it was cancelled vs the couple spending a possible lifetime of regret and bitterness? For whatever reason it was, they still managed to make it meaningful :)
Oh, I totally need to de-clutter the kitchen! And a few other rooms… haha. Those sunflowers are absolutely perfect :) Lovely five things.
