Friday Potpourri

Thankful for Friday

and for a long weekend

that will be full of family, friends and food!

the leaves are slowly changing

seems later this year ~ but everything is about a month late

around these parts

a late spring into a summer that we thought would never arrive

then when the calendar said it was fall

it was still feeling like summer ~ warm days and evenings

windows still open

but things change quickly

we have had our first frost ~ cool foggy mornings

but oh so nice days

I have been trying to stop and pay attention

all week long

looking around at what I take for granted

it is the little things that mean so much

and make a difference in our lives

grateful for an evening filled with flowers, 

friends and fun when we took a centerpiece class

I don't think Martha will see it and say "we need her on staff"

but there were lots of laughs

still panning and looking for inspiration for the living room

was hoping to paint this weekend but that is not going to happen

so wait I will and then get out looking for furniture

as I want to love it and not settle because I have some sort of deadline

because I don't

also in the midst of menu planning ~ list making

as I am hosting dinner on Sunday

I will do some of the work tomorrow to cut down on prep

it's so much easier to just throw things in the oven the day of

looking so forward to it!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends

and Happy Week-end to the rest!
