Autumn Jazz plays softly. And a candle is burning beside me.
The curtains blow gently from the open window…
I think fall is here – and here to stay.
Sweaters are a thing now.
Last night we met friends for dinner.
A picnic dinner, that is.
Forest Park – up by the Art Museum – is our absolute favorite place in the city.
I’ve become obsessed with The World’s Fair history
that this park is famous for
and the sunset is just perfection every evening here…
I threw together some curry chicken & rice (slow cooker all day = #winning)
and then grabbed our bed-tray-table & packed real napkins.
In the midst of photographing weddings
every weekend this month (all five),
Stephen and I are really trying to make the most of our weekday evenings together.
I’m really loving this whole married & adulating thing.
I always dreamt of having picnics in the park with real dishes.
Add some cute, fallish style & friends to that and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.
