{Shopping} Trader Joe's - The Hits Keep Coming

I can't keep up with all of the new goodies at Trader  Joe's recently, but I sure have fun trying!

Oh yum to this creamy vegan tzatziki dip!  Great with veggies, falafel and makes a great  salad dressing too.

This sauce isn't  new but we haven't bought it in awhile.  This is so good on burgers and pretty much anything that needs a little kick.

This chickpea salad is perfectly spiced and the pickled veggies on top are crunchy and delicious.  I saw someone putting on a hotdog and that was a great combo!

TJ's keeps improving their vegan ice cream formula.  One of these  bon bons is a great little desseert.

This was hard to find and now I know why! I wasn't sure I'd like the tapioca pearls but they added a nice texture.

I gave these a try and they were ok but there are better  brands of vegan cheese  out there.  Come on, TJ's!

I don't think this is new but I haven't bought this before (that I recall). I like having cold brew in the summer.

Here's another new winner! These  remind of the fudge-icles of my childhood,

 

I never miss a chance to gets some TJ's candles. I am  keeping these in  my travel bag for hotel rooms.  They are the perfect travel candle.

These were not what I expected but still tasty. They have a strong onion flavor along with the other spices.

This was such a score because the new Spindrift Spiked is only available in New England and Southern California. I found it in Boston.

I've only tried the pineapple so far and it tasted like bubbly fresh squeezed pineapple juice. #dangerous

{The Abode} Annual Porch Refresh

Every spring we need to clean up the front porch.  

It gets so dirty and beat up over the winter.

This is how we started out.  

The siding and the concrete were quite dirty.

This year we purchased a new portable pressure washer to help with the  job. 

It does make the job a lot easier.

It doesn't hurt to have some help either.

I picked up a new outdoor rug from Costco.

I also added a fern to the planter and a few flowers in pots.

I love when it's all spiffy!

{Travel} Band Gig & Harpers Ferry, West Virginia

I'm back from a little hiatus and now it's June! And a Monday post! What?! Back in May, Mr Click's band had a gig in Virginia at this beautiful farm.

Flying Ace Farm is also a brewery and a distillery.  It's in Lovettsville, Virginia.

The grounds were gorgeous and they had excellent weather for an outdoor gig.

This inside space was pretty amazing too!  

We were so close to West Virginia and had never been there before so we decided to stay there overnight. In the morning we headed to Harper's Ferry.  We parked at the train station and filled out an envelope to pay for our parking.

Ready to explore!

The town is part of the National Park system and is full of history and charm.  Meriwether Lewis stopped here for some arms back in 1803.

There is a mix of reproduced shops and storefronts along with real stores for shopping.

John Brown's fort is the most visited historic site in West Virginia.  The fort is behind this monument.

Harpers Ferry Historic National Park is at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers.  It's along the Appalachian Scenic Trail.  We saw lots of hikers in town.

The views from the footpath bridge were stunning.

Someone told us there was an osprey nest up here with chicks.  We could see the nest but we didn't get to see the chicks.   The nests are massive.

We enjoyed walking around the town and going in the stores.

There was a historical candy shop that had candy from all different decades. 

Here's a better shot of John Brown's Fort.  It's the site of the last stand of abolitionist John Brown in his 1859 assault upon slavery in Harpers Ferry.

We  hiked up to the gothic style and impressive looking St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church.  Some say it is haunted.

We were on our way up to Jefferson Rock.  That had an amazing view as well.

We couldn't get enough of these gorgeous views. It really is Almost Heaven (and the John Denver song is stuck in my head--maybe yours too?). #yourewelcome

Walking back down and the back of the church is pretty too.  The town is just so charming, we loved it!

Thanks for coming along. Have you ever been to West Virginia?
