Lazy Hazy Week-end

It's Sunday afternoon

the treats are by the door

and 

I have not had the energy to do a thing all week-end

I woke up Friday with the sniffles

and swollen glands

Saturday morn brought a full on 

Seven Dwarfs Syndrome

as I was Sleepy, Sneezy, Dopey....

well you get the picture

so I did not get my pumpkin carved

or my cookies baked

I had big plans to start a project

and that did not happen either

I was itching to try this recipe

but alas ~ it was not meant to be

We missed 2 parties last night

I did not see Sambo

I am having a little pity party over here

and want my Fairy God Mother to swoop in

clean my house 

and 

do everything I did not do

this week-end.  

Yeah ~ I don't think that will happen!

I should go see if I can make something other than toast to eat

for supper before all the ghosts and goblins arrive at the door.

Hope you had a safe and happy Halloween

and I promise to be back with a more cheerful post

later this week.

Hugs!

Pump(kin) Me Up

Boo!

yes ~ tis the week-end that many look forward to

this event to me is like meh ~ whatever

don't get me wrong

I love, love, love seeing the kids

all dressed up

greeting them at the door

all those eyes staring up with their bags held open

but to do a lot of decorating

or planning on what to wear

it has not been one of those things I am into

I did get a pumpkin

and will be carving it tomorrow

the treats are bought

and I pray for nice weather on Sunday

this has been such a busy week

and I am tired

I hope I am not too tired to roast my pumpkin seeds!

I actually had a fabulous week

I got my hair all chopped off on Tuesday night

it is short ~ really short

then on Wednesday night 

I met up with a couple of old friends

and we had a wonderful dinner and conversation

I love catching up with these girls

then I went to a farewell party

dropped into a local pub to wish a friend well

then last night I went to the dentist

then off to close my jewelry party

and I cannot wait to get that order

I got some really nice things!

tonight I am taking a breather

will watch some tv

and become one with my couch

the week-end will be busy as well

got some things on my to do list

if I actually follow through on one of them

I will tell you all about it next week!

Thank You

for all the wonderful comments on yesterday's post

wasn't all that colour just fun!

I wish everyone a wonderful week-end 

and the best Halloween ever!

Wordless Wednesday ~ Dreaming in Colour

Hoping you have a 

Colourful Wednesday!!

The Leaves Are Falling

Yesterday morning the sun was shining

it was a crisp clear day

the perfect time to get my rear in gear

and get some shots

before all the leaves blew off the trees

I was both surprised and heartbroken

as I think I was a tad bit too late

don't get me wrong

there are still gorgeous colors out there to enjoy

but I think there was a bit more variety last year

I found not much red at all

a lot of yellow and some orange

we can blame our warmer than normal fall

temps for that ~ so I will take the warmer weather

please and thank you!

we are very fortunate to live so close to the city 

but have the country a stone's throw away also

driving a few miles in either direction of our house

you come upon farms and fields

we are blessed

first I drove west

up river a bit

this is Upper Coverdale United Church

it is our sister church ~ the same minister does both services

and the summer services are held here one month

and at Trinity the other ~ it is a nice old country church

with plenty of character

looping around the Niagara Road

I then headed west

that's Lower Coverdale Baptist Church

in the distance...

had to stop for the cows

they take me back to my childhood

off in the distance is one of the bigger farms

in our area

a little inlet that shoots off from the river

and another farm in the distance

this is one of New Brunswick's many covered bridges

most are closed now but still standing

I have always wanted to head out one day and just drive

to all the different ones in the area

I just never seem to make the time ~ or take the time

someday....

Oh ~ and if you are wondering...

I did not make it to the market on Saturday

I did stay in my jammies til about noon

and 

then did nothing all day except 

~ a load of laundry  

~ baked a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

~ caught up on all my recorded shows

~ prepared an incredible baked ham dinner and scallop potatoes

~ caught up on my blog reading

~ ate carrot cake and drank tea

Hoping you all had a great week-end

and a fabulous Monday!
