Play Time Outside!

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Looking for trouble...Hi there, and Happy Friday!

It was a short week for us, which is always nice!

Last weekend was a nice break, and the unofficial end of summer, unfortunately. The weather has even started to change already. It’s been grey and rainy all week, with highs only in the upper 60’s and low 70’s. Thankfully, we got plenty of play time outside last weekend!

My nephew is slowly becoming my brother’s clone. He has the same ornery grin, and the same way of getting into things that he shouldn’t be in and looking so darn cute about it that you just can’t get mad!

Colors, Costumes, and Price Cuts!

"Favorite Time of Year" Scarecrow - 116-85933Last week on my blog I talked about my irresistible desire to clean out my closets, my pantry, and my purse once I sent my daughter off to college.  I’m still not sure where that came from, but this week I am into a whole different realm.

I have been thinking this week about those things that I absolutely love, those things that I strongly dislike (hate is a strong word here so I thought this would be a better choice of words), and those things that totally make my day!!

Today, right now, at this moment in time, I am totally loving:

  1. Macadamia nuts!  I guess it’s just their size and crunchiness that’s makes them a perfect go-to snack.  I can’t get enough of them right now!
  2. Open windows!  I am loving the cooler air and being able to open the windows once again.  Fall is one of my favorite times of the year.

Today, right now, at this moment in time I strongly dislike (very close to ‘hate’):

The corn fields are about ready to pick and the pumpkins have had an incredible year.  Our fields are a sea of orange and it is just beautiful up against the fall foliage.

I hope everyone takes time to enjoy the fall season with all its beauty!
