My Friday started with a color check on the burning bush, followed by mum watering, and a short sit on the front porch before we got down to the real business of the day. Sampling the Huevos Bravos at the Ladybird Diner.
The swirling leaves and pumpkins in the windows did not distract me.
We sat at the counter. Next to a young woman who started her breakfast with an Irish coffee, and a young man who had just completed an exam and ordered a bloody mary and a half order of biscuits and gravy with 3 eggs on the side.
If you are a fan of a breakfast with a mexican slant, you will not be disappointed by this. Black beans on the bottom, topped with a cotija cheese quesadilla, egg, chorizo, and avocado. The salsa verde, sliced radishes, and pickled onion are things you don't always see on Huevos Rancheros. Maybe that's why they are Huevos Bravos? Heck you can call them what you want I just gobbled them up. Happily.
Then we headed for a walk. But not before we spotted a truck full of pumpkins and this letterboard. Which I did not buy. But I might go back and get, so I can put the sentiment on the coffee cup in photo #6 on it. Who doesn't need a reminder like that floating around?
I always enjoy the little day trips you take us on. Breakfast, window shopping...and that truck full of pumpkins. Awesome! You’re loving autumn. Me, too.

I'm back after a long detour into the land of Floss Tube. Oh my, what a rabbit hole that has been. I've taken up cross stitch again after a 15 yr. detour into knitting, then couldn't knit anymore, boo hoo, so cross stitch it is. Now stitching on a sampler, a new to me escapade. I love the history, symbolism and the fact that this needlework was done by children, absolute works of art.
Love the Mexi-brexi. Looks delish. I'm off now to catch up with your blog since I went missing. Love the coffee cup quote. Made me laugh.
