The leaves are leaving the little lake.

There is a cold front headed our way so I walked down to the little lake to take a walk around all those colorful leaves that are still hanging in there before they’re all gone. When I opened all our curtains to let sunshine in early one morning, there was a fog that rolled in….

A book sale at the library.

My favorite kind of shopping, is always about books. Shopping for books is something everyone can enjoy. I’m trying to get some early Christmas shopping done and a good book is always a nice gift. It’s been cold this week. The drive to the library was so beautiful. It’s so different here. No longer do…

The little lake in October.

There won’t be a lot of photos with this one. The light is changing here, it was very bright at the lake, the sun was spotlighting all the lake’s beauty. I took what photos I could and then my battery died. I forgot to pack an extra one in my pocket so it was just…

A month of Photos.

Mostly this month was all about us getting back to walking, renovating, a little shopping and lots of creating. Oh…and prepping and painting…lots of painting. I’m slowly replacing the Christmas decorations I donated before we moved. We had one truck to fill for our big move and what ever we could fit into that one…

A Fall to do list.

This is just a reminder that it’s nice to make little goals where we treat ourselves plus the ones we love. Take time to make a list of things you want to do for each new season. It doesn’t have to be big or break the bank, just fun little treats and experiences to brighten…

Fall festival time.

After a hard week of too many projects, we have been feeling a little beat again, so tired. Enough already I think to myself, is there ever an end to all these beginnings. Again…how many times am I bringing up this subject, in which I think we may have put too much on our plates….

Taking care of business…a summer of all work and no play.

” Be Bold. Be Courageous. Never be afraid to speak up and speak out.” John Lewis Well summers over, just flew the coop? It was a busy and beautiful summer, went by too fast and now there is chatter in the air that this Winter will be a cold one. We still need to get…
