Signs that the season will soon change is apparent all around us. It’s time to pack away the pastels and bring out the autumn colors. Where did the summer go?
WOW!! It has been a long, hard and tedious week I am happy to report that my father is doing much better. I thank you all for your kind words and prayers for his quick recovery. It is with a huge sigh of relief that Friday is here and the weekend is almost upon us.
No chores, no cooking, no tidying up ... no no no, simply relaxing.
What are your plans for the weekend?

What a great way to spend the weekend. I just recently learned of "Rosemary and Thyme." Through Netflix I've ordered their series and have watched the first season. Tall Husband and I can't wait to see the next season, which we will do this weekend. Love those English ladies! Nobody does murder mysteries like those brits.
Have a great weekend.
So pleased your father is feeling better and that you can put your feet up this weekend.
What a shame there is only three series of R & T. I was so annoyed it got cancelled.
Have a lovely weekend with your icecream in teacups my dear,
xoxo
Hello Duchess,
Have a nice weekend... I'm thinking of watching movies during the long weekend (actually one whole week holiday).
Wishing you a wonderful fun filled weekend. So glad your dad is on the mend. Thanks for all your visits to my blog. Madeline
Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

Duchess, life is crazy at times, we just have to take one day at a time, and do not worry yourself about not stopping by, life is to short to worry about the little things. I love your visits and I love your blog. This week has been pretty busy for me with school and Destiny was sick, but the weekend is turning around she is feeling better, the homework is done, and its just going to be a relaxing weekend for me, hopefully.
I hope you have a blessed weekend. And whenever you get a chance to come by is fine with me, don't worry sweety,
Heidi
Absolutely beautiful blog! I love it.

Hello Sweet Duchess,
I am so sorry to hear about your Fathers accident. I so hope he is better, and that this dislocation of his neck will not cause him problems down the road. I will be adding him to my prayer list, so when I sit down at night to pray I will remember him.
I loved your post today. I will take on of those cups of ice cream also. Looked so yummy. Thanks for sharing.
I painted my dining room last weekend. Loved the red so much, that I am going to add a spash of color to the kitchen area too. I had a whole 1/2 of gallon left. I thought it might be fun to add a little color under the cabinets in a couple of places, just to punch it up a bit. Tony is working today, so it will be a great day to experiment.
Have a relaxing weekend sweetie. Country hugs and love, Sherry
ice-cream from a cup of tea...splendid idea to end this year's summer.
Hi Duchess, wish you a lovely sunny weekend full of joy and peace!

Hi Dutchess!!!
I had my white carpet in the family room removed finally, I do not know what I was thinking 5 years ago when I selected cream color carpet for our new house!!!! Even "Big kids" make messes, maybe even more, becasue you can punish little children for wearing muddy shoes in the house, but not big kids as they just look at you!!!! So after many sippy cup spills and diaper leaks and big kid footprints --it was time to tear it out and just put tile down!!! I live in Warm Arizona, so more tile is no big deal, actually so much easier to take care of!!!!Well vacuming is easier, but I don't want to be replacing carpet every 5 years!!!!!
So the tile project is done--but while the house was all out of it's ordinary put togetherness, I decided to do another project and that is to have the den walls re-painted and wainscot put on!!!! So I will be spending my week-end putting my house back to order!!!!!
So this past week has been a bit Crazy!!! Had Miss C 3 Full days in a ROW!!!! The house was all tore up and lots of things sitting everywhere where little fingers can touch them, only 1 broken music box, sadly one of my favorite's, Miss C cried when it fell to the ground and do did MIMI!!!!That baby loves music figurines, wants me to wind them all up!!!Also my daughter's 30th birthday was this week, so whew, what a week!!! Actually if I could I would sleep all day Saturday!!!!
I have had to get up bright and early and be dressed everyday that the workers were here!!!!!I love to lounge about in my P.j.'s til 10 or so if I'm not going anywhere!!!!
Well enough of me gabbing on and on!!!
hugs to you my dear,
jamie
Dearest Duchess,
May you have a peaceful and relaxing week-end.
God bless your Family. May all be well.
This week-end I hope to go to a nearby town's city wide thrift sale. Hope I get to buy alot of bargains to enjoy!
Appreciate your blogging friendship.
Blessings,

greetings, duchess!
i love the idea of serving ice cream in tea cups. how completely adorable.
i am currently using tea cups and saucers to hold things like paper clips and small tags in the cups, surrounded by buttons and things in the saucers. it's very fun.
happy to hear that your dad is doing well. celebrate with more ice cream!
xo
Your Grace! Beautiful post, as ever. Now, grab your cup of tea and pop on in, we have something for you!

Good morning Duchess! I haven't visited you before; I came via Marie's English Kitchen and I'm not disappointed. Have you tried Betty's in York? You practicaly need an appointment to get in! Any time I go the queue's always round the corner.

Hello darling duchess; do have a thoroughly fab weekend and take care
Hello Duchess,
I'm stopping by again to inform that you have been bestowed a few awards on my page. Do come by to collect them when you have the time, dearest:)

p.s. So glad to hear your father's doing better now, take good care and have a lovely weekend!!
Hello Duchess
Hope your weekend is going well. I have planted what seemed like a shed load of bulbs and am now looking forward to the gorgeous frocks in Strictly Come Dancing!
Unfortunately, I won't be indulging in ice cream in beautiful dainty cups. I need to loose 5 pounds from the previous homemade ice creme indulgences this summer. Winter clothes are just a little snug. Have a delightful weekend Duchess.

Hi Duchess, I am behind on blog visits too, and missed a lot of your lovely post this last week, but they are always so beautiful and interesting.
Summer seems to be still with us here but it feels like Fall in the evening, I am having a creative weekend, enjoy your ice cream :)
Hope you have a blissfull weekend!!
Your plans sound divine!!!!
Glad you dad is doing well, sending love :)
Lots of Love

Your blog is splended and pure heaven for a tea lover like me. I'm so glad to have had you pay a visit to my blog last Tuesday for "Tea Things Tuesday".
Would definately love to have you be part of our group, so I will include a link to your blog in my post that day.
Enjoy the rest of your relaxing weekend and I'll see you on Tuesday!!

I wish you the wonderfully relaxing weekend you so richly deserve, my dear!
hi
i cant take off my eyes from the pictures..hmm..brilliant and blessed..touch wood..icecreams are the best way to relaxing mood..while its melting in ur tongue,and the stress too..happy weekend
Gorgeous photos!
They look so tasty!

So happy to hear that you will be taking some time to simply relax and enjoy your films...with ice cream too! I will be spending some time today visiting some of my blogging friends since I now finally have my internet access returned. Yesterday was a day of searching out vintage treasures but today is relaxation time. Enjoy yours, my dear!
So glad things are better for you!! I can't believe you are watching rosemary and thyme! They are our faves too. They carry them at our library, but we probably need to buy them all on DVD, I am now wondering if there might be episodes we missed! Do you ever watch Monarch of the Glen? If not, make sure you start at the beginning with the first season. It's soap opera like, but lots of gorgeous scotland scenery! :)
This is such a pretty post!
And eating ice cream from a teacup sounds wonderful!
I eat my bowl of cereal each morning from a small tea cup that belongs to a set that was once my grandmother's! Now I'll have my dessert from one those cups too!
Thanks so much for all your kind comments to me.
I'm hoping to post sometime this week.
All the best,
Eileen
Hello Duchess...
Thank you for visiting my blog.
I'm also going through some things, but I'm sure the time is responsible to resolve, with God's help of course. I wish peace for you.
Much love and Kisses♥♥♥
I will be dropping by for tea and hope you will serve some of those yummy cookies. Sounds like you have a wonderful weekend planned.
I'm glad to hear that your Dad is doing better. Sounds like you really need a relaxing weekend.
Here in GA there is not such a noticeable separation of the seasons - fall can be quite warm and winter lacks snow. Much different than in Canada where I lived most of my life.
Your photos are great. I love the idea of serving ice cream in an elegant teacup.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! I love the ice cream in a teacup. Cute idea!
Scottish Blend is my favourite now. If you have soft water, you'll love it.
