I was going through old pictures from my cousin's wedding and fell in love with these pictures again. Something about Catholic churches, although very old-fashioned, is very comforting to me. 
Plus this church, SS Peter & Paul, in Hamburg, NY is a church I grew up with. This is the church my grandparent's belonged to, that my grandpa was an usher at, and where I could always zone out and read the stories in the beautiful stained glass windows instead. 
I see a trend starting...
This weekend, I was so fascinated by the signage that goes vertically against buildings, that I kept finding myself NEEDING to take their picture.
So here they are.

Bouquets for me!
I'm a big nerd. I am admitting that right now.
I have always wanted to receive one of these: an Edible Arrangement.
Love the Idea, love how it looks and love that it's easily eaten without any peeling or cutting. Instant access to fruit.
Simply Daisies $52-62 here
So when I saw this write-up on NYTimes about owner of Edible Arrangements, Tariq Farid, I had to read it. The idea goes back to how his Dad would bring home fruit when he was little when they lived in Pakistan. It's quite an impressive story and also heartwarming what he did for his mom.
Berry Bouquet $44 here
Fruit Truffles bouquet $59-85 here
Berry Chocolate Bouquet $69-209 here
Go ahead and read it and maybe order an arrangement (for me. hehe)....

I see this every time I turn onto Park after work around 6pm. The view has only gotten better since it has become fall.
