Just back from my forty-eight hours of dog-sitting in the hill country. It was a blissful weekend~from the sweet-natured dogs to the pool to the quiet to the exquisite and charming home. Funny how just a few miles away can seem another county.
I also purposely disconnected from the torrent of words that are filling the world right now. And yes, I realise that I have the luxury of doing so~my world is generally a very safe and privileged one. It was a day of quietness and reflection.
Texan July sun ain't so bad when there's a pool nearby |
Totally illegal, but who could resist that sweet face? |
The guest suite |
Probably the only time my car will be in the same garage as a Ferrari |
My host was inspired by my sister's Lindt-filled guest pillow~so this is to show her that others can do chocolate :) |
Six burners of a Viking stove! |
The outside dining and lounging area~I spent pretty much the entire weekend either floating in the pool or reading in various lounge chairs |
My French concoction |
The graceful entrance |
GODIVA AND GRAPEFRUIT TOGETHER.
ReplyDeleteThat is ALL that was important about this entire post, according to my brain. I was all, "blah, blah, blah, lovely pool, blah, blah, blah, nice car. Blah, blah - CHOCOLATE!?!?!?!?!"
And, I still want the pool, though. They can keep their dogs and their chairs and their car(s).
It's their newest flavour & I HIGHLY suggest that you get yourself a bar. Or two.
DeleteAlso? Don't take it outside with you~unless you enjoy licking chocolate off the foil wrapper. (and yes, I could have put it in the fridge, but then it's all weird & crinkly.)
DeleteWhat a gorgeous place!
