The weather has been spectacular for fall. Really, it has
been idyllic. The trees are changing
colors, the breeze is cool but the sun is still warm. It has been crisp in the morning only to be
warm enough by the afternoon that we can wear short sleeves and bask in the
sunlight for a few minutes.
The outside of our home is lush with greenery. Some of it
just needs to go and more of it just needs some love. So, this weekend I pulled
the petunias that were poorly laid next to our front door and planted some fall
flowers. Mums and cabbages.
It cleaned up the space, add hints of fall color
and I am already begging for spring to get her so we can makeover more of the
yard.
My papa is a yard work EXTRAORDINAIRE.
And he loves it. And he may have to move up here for a bit this spring
to help.
Our block party was Saturday night. I didn't know what to
expect.
We made our farm animal out of recyclables. We were proud of it, but
some others blew our pig out of the water.
I baked my first pie. The smell, the look and the tart
apples in the sweet mixture of cinnamon and sugar had me ready to make more. I
have no idea how it tasted but it looked delicious. It didn't win the contest but it looked good!
The fire engine came and his mind was blown. He wants to be
a fireman for Halloween. A hat, a chance to sit in the seat and look at the
hose and ladder? An almost three year old’s dream.
And there were horses, and pulled pork, kegs and kids
everywhere. And as I walked Cate home well after her bedtime, it hit me. We are
home. Today was good. And good is just plain good.
Love! :) Good is good!
ReplyDeleteThat DOES look perfect. And I'm glad it was for you. That pie looks incredible. Good job!
