Hi everyone! Welcome to Friday's Fave Five. Join us as we take time and pause in our busy days, our mundane days, our overwhelmed days and look for the holy. For the blessings of God in our lives.
~ calm after the storm ~ Friday throughout the night and early Sautrday morning we had a huge wind storm with official reports coming in at 96 km/hr (59.6 mph). Unofficial private weather towers were reporting peak gusts of 151km/hr (93.82 mph). My friend told me she heard somewhere that we had been the windiest place on earth in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Sunday it was still pretty windy, enough to keep us huddled up inside. I can't express how grateful we all were for a work week of relative calm warmer weather. In fact yesterday was downright beautiful with no wind whatsoever.
~ skies yesterday morning ~ I ran out to the end of the driveway to take these pics this morning. These are unedited straight out of the camera. God is an artist. No other words needed.
It started like this
and finished off with this
~ warm comforting soup ~ my first attempt at a squash soup. Roasted Buttercup Squash and veggie soup. Turned out pretty good. Note to self: Next time definitely use cream and not the coconut milk the recipe called for. While delish it missed that really creamy richness. Finished product picture to come with recipe
~ new holiday coffee ~ I gave the new st*rbucks holiday coffee a try and quite enjoyed it. Tiramisu is a favorite dessert so you know I gotta try the coffee version Tiramisu Velvet Latte. I got it half sweet and oat milk as usual. Next time I'm gonna leave off the cookie dusting. My fave holiday drink is still the Caramel brulee latte but this runs a close second
~ fall scented candle ~ fall scents are my favorite and I've had this one burning this week. The smell is lovely and not overwhelming. Sand + Paws Apple Cider
What were your favorite blessings of the week?
