Day Three Hundred 2011

 




Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

TGIF Snapshots And Sounds From My Front Porch

You'll probably have to scroll down to the bottom to mute or stop the songs playing from Playlist.com to hear the sounds on this short video. It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside on the front porch, listening to the wind play the wind chimes and blow through the trees. Peaceful. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Two Hundred Eighty Five 2011

My grand peeps, Shelby and Elijah, spent the day with me today. They are on the last leg of their Fall Break. Here are the two artists at work, creating Halloween pictures.

After lunch, we went on a quest to acquire mums and more pumpkins (you can never have too many pumpkins) and some strings of orange Halloween lights for their mom. We were successful as you can see by the stuffed trunk of the Granny Mobile.

We bought some new creepy Halloween gummy type stickers for the front door and dug out the old ones from last year.

They enjoyed placing the stickers in just the right spots.

And as you can see they did a great job decorating my front door. Festive and yet spooky, yes?

We spent the whole afternoon outside. It was a gorgeous day for jumping on the trampoline……

…..and catching leaves as the wind brought them down in a shower off the trees.

I added a couple of orange pumpkins and purple mums to my Autumn porch display. The scarecrow seems to like it.

I really enjoyed spending the day with two of my most favorite Peeps! Love those smiles!
