Hello All and welcome to today’s installment of Sunday Sevens, invented by the lovely Natalie of Threads and Bobbins. Why not give it a peek and see how you can join in.
Seems like a rather uneventful week…but I’ve been up with the birds every day and walking about in the neighborhood. Here are a few shots of what I’ve been enjoying…
Early morning sunlight
This is one of my favorite trees, the light makes these puffy flowers just glow.
A tiny detour
The surrounding woods offer paths and trails for hiking, biking, walking or running – or in my case, simply meandering.
Street art
The whole intersection in this quiet family block is painted in such vivid, colorful, happy nature scenes.
Veggies galore
Healthy eating can be a joyful experience…just look at the delicious beginnings of this 15-bean soup. Yum!
Or how about a “deconstructed” salad, served with a little balsamic, cheese and homemade bread (there must always be bread).
Out my kitchen window
The sweet aroma wafts in and fills the kitchen, and I happily share these blooms with the birds and bees.
We watched a bit of soccer
Gareth!
Not really construction
We are just painting a bedroom, but poorly done repairs by previous owners necessitated some new plastering, new molding, and new closet interiors. Just a quick peek into the entry. More to come.
The double rainbow in the feature photo was taken by my hubby after a recent, welcome rain.
Have a great week, everyone!
Let the Sewing Begin 
Love the street art – is it permanent? I don’t think I could name 15 beans, let alone make a soup out of them! Great shade of blue in your bedroom. Hope we get a reveal soon:)

Street art has been recently redone, as it had faded. Don’t know who does it, but it’s a cheery sight! So funny about the beans…I can’t name them all when they are right in front of me. They come in a package so luckily I don’t have to. 🙂 I like the blue, but it will be changing to a much more neutral (read boring) off-white? Nice and fresh. And you’ll get a reveal. 😉

I’m half way through painting a dresser in a similar shade of blue, so I might be biased:)

I rather like the blue, too, but paint is in pretty shabby shape. (Long story regarding paint selection for the bedrooms.)

What a lovely neighbourhood you have to enjoy ~ thank you for sharing some of it with us! Soup & salad both look yummy, as does the re-do. Another vote for a reveal when it’s done!

Thank you! It’s a happy place for us here. Yep, reveal will happen. Right now, we are still in the prepping stages, repairing walls, sanding trim, etc. Hopefully we can finish quickly!

Thank you! At first I thought the artwork was chalk, but it’s actually painted. And I do love a good bean soup!

Thank you Kate! My life has been very nice in recent years, and I’m very grateful. (Now if only I could get organized and productive! I’m giving myself a swift kick.)

Oh I have lots! But I so enjoy seeing that one in the early morning sunlight. I’m sure the homeowners appreciate me admiring it?

You have some lovely walks in your vicinity and I like the look of your bean concoction.

Thank you Lynn! It is a nice walking area, and you can change up the routine fairly easily. The beans turned out very well and will probably be made again. Soup is always good!

What a healthy time your having! And able to catch up with the soccer too – aren’t Wales doing well?! I’m not into blokes with pony tales but I can make an exception for Gareth! 🙂

Me neither (the pony tails)…but I’ve been known to make an exception here and there. 😉
