It is the end of Labor Day Monday here in the U.S., a well-deserved day off work and one last chance to enjoy summer.
It rained this morning, which made my heart sing. It has been hot and dry here for days and even though we experienced nothing like the drought they've experienced in the western states, our plants desperately needed a nice, tall drink. Our rain gauge shows two inches, but I don't know what the official count was. That is two inches of lovely nourishment my poor recent lavender transplants surely enjoyed.

I tried a new recipe today, one I found on Pinterest. They are taco pizza rolls from the Old El Paso website. Here is what the original looks like:
And here is what mine looked like:
Not quite the same, but not entirely too bad. I should have used thin pizza crust because the thick stuff was a bit too doughy, and this is coming from a girl who LOVES bread.

On the positive side, I cut my new soaps today. Frankincense & Myrrh smells like a gift made for a god (ha ha, get it?). And Orange Clove & Cinnamon smells like fall, which is right around the corner. Seriously, they smell great and they will be available on my Etsy site on October 5, 2015.

And the last thing on my agenda today was to work on what is perhaps the longest-lasting crocheted afghan project ever undertaken, my Americana afghan. When (If) I finally finish it, I will write an entire blog entry about it, but here is a sneak peek. I would say I am now 90% finished. That could be wishful thinking, but I am definitely more finished with it now than I ever have been.
***
Oh, and the best news of the day is that season 2 of Poldark has begun shooting in Cornwall, England! I imagine I won't get to see the broadcast until next summer at the earliest. But I won't think about that. Here is my beloved (LOL) Aidan Turner as Ross Poldark. Oh la la! I wish he were holding a scythe! ;)

Thank you yet again for reading. You're a star!
PEACE
LOVE
POLDARK! POLDARK! POLDARK!
