October



Good afternoon! It's a cold and rainy afternoon here! Lots of leaves are falling off the trees. We are a little behind getting some of our outdoor Fall décor done, but it's coming along! The corn stalks are up and I have some mums and planters. I just want it up all year!!! I love it so!
Here is my Amish tool carrier:

I see so many great ideas from websites and all the Facebook groups I belong to. I was thinking how it used to be before social media discovering new decorating and craft ideas. I depended so much on all the different country decorating magazines that were out and taking tons of photos when I would visit Lancaster of all the store displays of country items. Do you remember all the different Country magazines? Country Collectibles, Country Decorating Ideas, to name a few. I still subscribe to Country Sampler. Most of the others aren't published anymore and there are new ones but they are are expensive! I am a huge fan of Country Sampler, and I can't imagine cancelling it! I look forward to it so much and now more than a few of my acquaintances have been featured. I know social media can be a hazard to our lives in many ways but I think its also a blessing for communication and learning. I learned to knit watching you tube! And most of all I learned from what I saw on people's Facebook, craft or selling pages. And all the great friends I have made that are like extended family!

Back to the pumpkins, I thought this gourd looked like a chicken so I bought it for that reason! Added the googly eyes and its supposed to go near my chicken coop  I don't want to put it outside!


And not related to my chickens, who I love with all my heart and don't eat (except for the eggs they lay), I made a big pot chicken soup and a big chicken stew over the last weekend! So good!


Wish there was some leftover because this is a good day for soup!I hope you have a greatr afternoon!

    1. Actually, even though I bought it to use by the chicken coop, it's so cute in my kitchen, I haven't shared it with the chickens yet.

  3. Yes, love the coziness of Fall. I miss all the country magazines. It was like Christmas when they were delivered. I still get Country Sampler.

    Enjoy, Janie
