Sweet, Sweet November

It has finally arrived! My favorite month of the year! I love, love, love this month. I think it is the trees and the weather and Thanksgiving combined. Whatever it is, it works for me. I even welcome and embrace Halloween because it means that November is just one sunrise away! I hope you like it too. I have been at it again, driving and taking pictures. Don't tell my insurance agent/boss! :o) Are you sick of looking at my trees yet? I hope not.


Take the time to enjoy the beauty around you, and be thankful for the blessings you have. We are privelaged to live in the greatest nation in the world. You may not have as much as many do, but you and I are richly blessed. Remember, as my favorite preacher says, "God is good all the time, all the time, God is good."

Perfect Fall Day

It was a perfect fall day today. The sky was blue most of the day and the breeze was gentle. I took the opportunity to take some more pictures. This time Jacob was driving so my life was not in any danger. :o)


This afternoon I took Kim's boots to the shoe repair shop to get re-soled, picked up a few groceries then went home and did a minute amount of housework then sat down to knit and watch the OU game! Boomer Sooner! They won!!!! I added about an inch to the bag, so it is coming along. I managed to get a lot more done last week.


Tonight was the annual fall party at Jack and Earline's house. It was the perfect end to the perfect day. There was a bonfire to cook our hot dogs over, chili and fritoes for fritoe pie. Marshmellows, graham crackers and Hershey bars for guess what? Yes, smors (you are so smart!)! Yum-o! The sky was beautiful as the sun started to go down. Jack hauled all the kids around the pond on a hay ride. They loved it. We just got home and I can still smell the wood smoke in my hair. I love that bon fire feeling!

I hope that whatever you did today involved some time outside in the fresh air and sunshine. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Fire!

Well here it is. My favorite time of the year. The trees are catching fire. It is breathtaking! I was driving down Harvard the other evening and saw a georgous little yellow bush, the wind blew and it looked like golden coins were scattering in the wind. Here is some of what I have been able to capture. I wish I had a driver so I could have the camera ready all the time, but for some reason Kim does not want to take me to work. This season is just a feast for the eyes. It is difficult and unsafe to take pictures while driving (says the insurance agent in me) but who can resist. If I die taking pictures, just know that I was doing what I love!



Then there is my other love...

I have been knitting like mad this week. The diaper bag has grown steadily all week. I have used two skeins of yarn and I am really loving this yarn. This picture does not do it justice. You just have to see it in person, or maybe I am just a wierdo-yarn-freak. Ok, yes, I admit, I am a wierdo-yarn-freak, but it is so georgous! I just hope I can do this project some justice. I am having to tweak the pattern a little and it makes me a little nervous since the yarn is pricey. I can hardly force myself to go to work every day. I just want to stay home and knit. The cold weather just enhances that feeling. I don't know why, but when it is cold I just want to knit more.





That all for now...Oops! Happy Birthday to my sister! Love you Debbie-Do!
