Weekly Wanderings {2016 week 41}

This week in my world…

A pop of red on a grey afternoon; the kind of weather that teases with sprinkles here and there, but never quite commits to a full downpour.

Seeds

Even the teeny-tinyest faerie houses have gotten into the Halloween spirit! 👻🎃

Every other year or so, my mom and I get a craving for Big Macs and go on a McDonalds date.

This week in my world…

WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING.

100 degrees!

All the ice cold pickles I can possibly stuff into one bánh mì… because it is 100 FREAKING DEGREES outside (and 90F inside) and every little bit of cold helps at this point.

Homemade banh mi

This again…

More trees

You should be sensing a theme at this point… 😀
