Good morning, lovelies and welcome to a new week. Can't believe it's Monday morning already. I really didn't want the weekend to end. We escaped the city and had an amazing time visiting with my sister and her husband. We barbecued, watched the sunset from a secluded beach, walked around quaint towns while enjoying delicious gelato and drove around the North Fork of Long Island. I actually felt like I was on a mini vacation. It's not that far from the city but you feel like your in another world. There are sprawling farms and vineyards and the most wonderful little fruit and flower stands that were overflowing with the freshest looking fall fruits and veggies including tons of pumpkins and gordes! Guess it's finally time to wave a final farewell to summer.
Hope you all had an amazing weekend and that your Monday is off to a great start!
xoxo

Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. My mind has begun to drift to thoughts of pumpkins and actually will be looking for some tomorrow. September brings such beautiful weather - not too hot, not too cold. If only it lasted just a bit longer. Enjoy your Monday Dawn and have a great week! :) (gorgeous images!)

A good weekends prepares you well for a week ahead, doesn't it? :)
Glad to hear you had such a great weekend! It definitely feels like fall this morning here... I'm fully into fall mode now. Thinking about a stroll in our neighborhood with my son, so we can pick fallen leaves and making a collage. Or gathering different kinds of pumpkins and gourds to decorate my front yard with...
Love how you evoked your amazing weekend! I agree we all need mini breaks now and then. I love that part of Long Island too - it's really like another world :) Have a wonderful week ahead!
glad you had a good weekend!
Gelato and times with family on the beach - sounds good to me!
Sounds perfect especially the vineyards and gelato, two things I could live on.
ooo, fall fruits and veggies and pumpkins! hello fall :)
Sounds absolutely wonderful.
Long Island is definitely on my list of "places to see before I croak it!"
Sounds like a wonderfully romantic film.
Gelato+vineyards=a win win IMO! My mama is seeing a whole lot of both of them right now in Ital. And I'm JEALOUS! HA!
Sounds like an amazing weekend sweetie. Hope you have a great week!
Happy Monday doll! Lovely pics, prefect for my morning ;) hugs
It sounds like your weekend was a dream. And these pictures are too. Pink hydrangeas are some of my favourite flowers. Hope your week is just as much fun lovely xx
