Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
I must get pumpkin cookies. The donuts are great but I feel like I haven't had a good pumpkin cookie in a long time. That and seeing the real fall color is just something I want to see yet this year.
ReplyDeleteActually quite a bit -
ReplyDeleteMy decorations went up 10/1
We took puppies to sunflower field at local park to take pictures. They time it to be in bloom for whole month of October which is fun.
Sunday we drove around looking at decorations, starting at sunset.
No pumpkin food hankerings here other than I buy containers of pumpkin baby food to put on the dogs’ lick mats. Half peanut butter, half pumpkin, they go in freezer to set.
No time for a drive lately but there hasn't been any color change to inspire one just yet. I may or may not buy some mums for out front (supposed to hit freezing Thursday night, so I'm debating). The hubs and I will take a drive out to the apple orchard (hey, there's our scenic drive! LOL) on a Thursday in the next couple of weeks to get the best apple cider donuts I've ever had and maybe some blueberry jam. Other than that, nada. I'm ordering some fallish candles so that might bright out a more festive spirit in me. =o)
ReplyDeleteWe went to the pumpkin patch last weekend - got our pumpkins for carving right before Halloween, and also got green chiles. The smell of roasting chiles *is* fall around here. Every weekend has been busy between kid's school activities and my own work commitments so no leaf peeping for us. I'm thinking about making a quick run up to the mountains tomorrow after his play practice, but it might be a little late in the season already.
