What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
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.
