Amish Country

 

Good Morning friends, I just returned from another great time in Lancaster County. It was a wonderful trip as always. As soon as I leave, I start thinking of my next trip. On this one, I did alot of Christmas shopping and also shopping for my own home, of course! They always seem to have things I can't live without! 

Our Fall trip is always different from our Summer trip. In the Summer, I come home loaded with plants, fruits and vegetables. And of course, house stuff! I love that time so much and the plants I bought on our trip during the Summer, I just repotted so I could bring them in for the Winter. I got awesome black elephant ears and others. 

This trip besides the Christmas shopping, I needed some fresh mats, battery candles (now I only buy the timer ones), regular candles, pip berries and all that good stuff. 

I bought these cookies stamps and red and green sugars for my cookies! Aren't they sweet? I bought a tree stamp and a wreath stamp. 

Now I'm planning Thanksgiving. We are a small group (less than 10) but I still do a whole big dinner with a turkey over 20 pounds. I love leftover turkey and sides and I also like sending home a good amount with my gusts so they can enjoy the next day too. Its going to be a tough one though not having my Mom at the table. 

When do you start your Christmas decorating? or did you start already/ I start mine the day after Thanksgiving. But we can't put our real tree up until closer to Christmas because it's real. 

I just got the chicken coop all Winter ready. Also changed some nesting boxes and perches. My girls haven't been laying eggs because they're moulting. It's a weird thing for me to have to actually BUY eggs! They were laying 2 dozen per week during the Spring and Summer!

Here's some more photos I took from our trip! Have a great day!
