I am not sure how it got to be October 20, already. Where has the time flown to? Yesterday, DH took me for a drive in the country. The leaves are turning, though not at peak yet. We drove out to an old country cemetery where the hickory trees are already a beautiful yellow gold. […]
I’m sitting in the craft room (second floor) looking over the back yard as it rains, rains, rains. There have been several tornado and severe thunderstorms watches. Also, a tornado warning about an hour north of us. We’re staying tuned to our alert apps. So thankful for the ease of keeping up with the weather. […]
I guess it’s Menu Plan “Tuesday,” this week. I’ve been very busy crafting ornaments and didn’t take time to plan a menu on Monday. Here are a few of my favorite ornaments from the past few days. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Eve Peace on Earth O, Come Let Us Adore Him Have a […]
It’s been a busy week. DD and I made three kinds of truffles and candy acorns for a fall themed wedding. It was fun and I am so grateful for my daughter’s help. It did put me in the mood to get started on Christmas goodies for the freezer! It’s that time of year! Before […]
When DD gets home from school, all the kitties come to see her. I can go all day long without seeing any of them until school is out! Zilli, Buttercup, Zak / Buttercup is DD’s cat. She comes down to the kitchen every day about twenty minutes before school is out and waits for DD […]
I know. I know. It’s really September 4, but with Labor Day, then DH having Wednesday off, menu planning was waylaid. I’ve been working on some craft projects, too. And I have to confess, that is more fun than taking time to write a post. True confessions…crafting is lots of fun… I am using some […]
The garden blooms are beginning to decline, though there are still blossoms to be had. This week’s Sunday bouquet used Black Eyed Susans, ‘Becky’ daisies, and ‘Autumn Joy’ sedum (still in the green stage). We enjoyed getting together with some of DH’s high school friends. Two were in the area from the west coast, so […]
The autumn flowers are beginning to bloom. The Sunday bouquet included the flowers of the ‘Royal Standard’ hosta, ‘Autumn Joy’ sedum, and Sweet Autumn Clematis. I like a white and green bouquet. Here is one I made in 2010, which included hydrangea heads and Sweet Autumn Clematis. All of our hydranageas but one died back […]
Last week was our presbytery’s youth camp. DH is the director, so was busy with camp all week. He came home on Friday, tired but happy with camp. Great staff, great campers, and a great place to have camp. They added a climbing wall this year which the campers really enjoyed. The surprise lilies are […]
Time is ticking along. The past few weeks flew by and I am having a hard time remembering what the current day is. This week I am working on a yearbook for our presbytery’s summer youth camp. That takes a lot of time, so the menu is very simple this week. Several sandwich meals and […]
