October!

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing well. I've been busy with a lot of family stuff and decorating! I have a family member moving to the area and I've been helping with cleaning and packing. I've also been decorating! I did a Fall outside tour of my home for my Country Home page and that will be followed up by an indoor house tour for Halloween! I will probably do that on Monday. Plans changed as my dishwasher died and we bought a new one but until my husband connects it, it has taken up residence in my foyer! That's okay!  I know he will be able to find time this weekend! Speaking of my husband, he was recently recognized in our town by one of the county's leading architects for his skill and beautification projects in the area. I'm very proud of him! Our today is many thousands of people so its quite an honor!

So today I plan to make an apple crisp, and also get the rest of my boxes put away. I'm glad that I'm on track since I have been distracted with other things. My decorating is done and now its just about fixing and tweaking. I've also been Christmas shopping like crazy! I usually start early as I have a lot of people to buy for but this year I started even earlier because of the issues with supply and shipping. 

 I am really loving that the heat and humidity are gone! I do not enjoy that! I feel so much more ALIVE in cool weather plus it makes me want to cook and bake! My chickens will get a load of new hay and straw for the cooler temps too. We winterize the coop in early November. If I get a chance today I want to collect all the pinecones my giant pine tree is dropping! There's always something to do with them as well as just using them for decorations. 

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!
