Friday Favorites - August

August 7, 2020


Hello blog friends.  August seems to be flying by so fast and soon we'll be approaching September.  I enjoy summer and it's my favorite season.  In the meantime, I will enjoy this last month of summer.

I have my Friday Favorites - August Edition:

1.  Farm Stand
We recently enjoyed visiting a local farm stand for our fresh veggies and fruits.  For my Instagram friends who follow me, @bklynhousewife you may remember seeing this photo I posted.


We bought tomatoes, corn, lettuce, fresh pickles in a jar, radishes, and a lot more.  We enjoy eating fruits and vegetables that are farm fresh. 


This corn is so sweet tasting that it doesn't need any butter! 


2.  Growing Peppers
I was so happy to see small peppers growing in the large planter I have in my yard.  I can't wait to cook the peppers for our dinner. 


3.  Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
I enjoyed watching all 3 seasons of this show on Amazon Prime.  It was fun watching this American comedy-drama set in the 1950s and 1960s.  I liked the fashionable outfits, the different scenes shot in New York City, and the many stars.  I'm looking forward to watching season 4 which will be coming at the end of the year.


4.  Dynasty
Who remembers watching the old Dynasty show back in the 80s?    

Well, I started watching the CW soap opera reboot of Dynasty on Netflix.  Quoted from Netflix, the show is about two of America's wealthiest families, the Carringtons and Colbys, as they feud for control over their fortune and their children.  So far my favorite character on the show is Fallon Carrington who is rich, beautiful, and a modern business woman.  I'm looking forward to watching all three seasons of this modern soap opera.   

5.  Fall 
I'm looking forward to fall decorating inside and outside my house at the end of the summer.  I do enjoy the summer so I'll enjoy it while I can.  Some of you may remember these pumpkins I made many years ago.  I use them to decorate my mantel for fall.


I'm hoping that this year the squirrels don't attack my pumpkins like they did last year.



Wishing you all a Happy Friday and weekend.

  2. Fun post! We grow most of our summer veggies but we get so excited when the “peach man” comes! He sells Calhoun County, IL peaches (just across the river) and they are SO delicious! I’ve heard lots of good things about the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and will have to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation. I’m also thinking about some Fall decorating! We’ve had wonderful weather this week but summer’s humidity is in the upcoming forecast so I’ll put Fall thoughts on the back burner. Enjoy your weekend! Zenda

  7. Hand raised... I remember Dynasty!!! Actually, I wouldn't mind binge watching Dallas too... We don't have any real farm stands close, but one small produce store does get local items, so that's nice. Enjoy your August Julie:@)

  9. Me, me! I watched the Dynasty back in my native country when I was a kid in the 90s. And now I live not too far away from the Filoli Gardens, where the opening credits for the Dynasty were filmed.
