Hope the littles have fun tonight

Happy Halloween!!

Hanging On

Yesterday we headed down to the cape

to close up the cottage for the season

on the way home we stopped at the cemetery

I knew that the colours would be at their prime here

with all the old trees

plus I knew that this would be my last chance

with the perfect storm headed in our direction

the trees will be bare a week from now

I love walking through the old section

looking at all the old stones

they are intricate ~ so many details

they are truly beautiful

Hoping that everyone that is in the storm's path

stays safe.

Friday Potpourri

Loving this time of year

frosty mornings lead way to warm sunny afternoons

warm enough to sit on the bench 

on my afternoon break and read my book

 putting away the open toed shoes

makes me sad

but loving the layers ~ the sweaters

and the fleece

 game night on Saturday

with thebestneighborsever

it's always a good time

when we get together

via

getting together the treats for all the ghosts and goblins next week

it's so much fun seeing the littles in their costumes

hoping to get out again on the week-end with the camera

batteries are all charged up

live and learn

hope you all had a great week

and that this week-end brings sunshine and laughter

Crisp and Complete

Hello ~ did you have a good week-end??

it was a great one here

although it rained on and off all day Saturday

it gave me a chance to putter and get some of those

put away til a rainy day chores

Sunday was gorgeous

so I decided to grab my camera and head out

do some back road touring and take in 

all the beauty that Autumn has to offer

I got about 5 shots off and

my low battery light came on

crap crap double crap

next time I will have to plan better!

I also tried a new recipe

slow cooker baked beans

found here

although I am not a lover of beans

Trev loves them and he gave these

2 thumbs up.

I changed up the recipe just a touch

so if you try it and want to know what I did

let me know and I will send along my recommendations!

Have a wonderful week.

Friday Potpourri

It's Friday

and I am back

I did not mean to be a post once a week person

but alas ~ it has happened again this week

via

via

I was hoping to get out last week-end with my camera

but that did not happen

instead I did some yard work ~ cut back some more things in the garden

gathered the pots and outdoor decorations

and contemplated putting flannel on the bed ~ soon it will happen ~ very soon

I did bake a cake ~ chocolate with chocolate frosting

and it was divine

so good in fact that I sent some next door

and 2 more pieces to Trev's brother and sister in law

if it is out of the house ~ I cannot have it for supper!

via

I have been doing a bit of reading

blogs ~ books ~ magazines

via

via

 I signed up for the Creatively Made Home this week

and I cannot wait for it to start

 I am looking for some ideas for the living room

and I know that these ladies will steer me in the right direction

this week-end we will be cooking hearty meals

soul food ~ stick to your ribs and keep you warm

the chill is in the air ~ the sweaters are out

layers are called for

via

wishing you all a wonderful week-end.
