On This....The First Day Of November....



As the sun was rising this morning...yes...I was up!!

This the first day of November...

I felt compelled to take a few snaps...

Everything looked all yellowy and glowy from inside... 

I even stepped out front...

In my housecoat...

Much to the alarm...

Of Mom's walking their kiddies to school!

Come on along....
 





 obelisk with black-eyed susan vine...still lovely and green!



Mona Lavender came home from the cottage.....but...she is sooo big...not sure what to do with her!

HUGE pumpkin stalk!!!






 Cabbage in planter....still wet from the rains....




 
What a crazy couple of days this has been....

people sick....

babies sleeping over....

record high temps....

crazy winds and rain....

GEEESH!!!

Thank goodness it is Friday...♥

Think I'll make my self a big cup of tea...

And relax...with a piece of Vanilla Cinnamon, Banana, Blueberry loaf...

                    With brown sugar and walnut struesel topping!!!

                          Doesn't that look delish!!!   {eat your heart out Devon!!}



Hope you are all having a great day....

How is the weather where you live???

    1. My boyfriend and I have done the shutters ourselves for 16 years....
      We finally asked for some help...and the job was a lot easier...♥

  5. I love this golden time of year and I would go out in a housecoat to get pictures too, if I had a housecoat... and if I didn't have to be at the bus stop myself.

    Here's hoping the big wind is over for now. Looking forward to the weekend. Have a good one!

  10. What pretty photos of Fall in your neck of the woods! Hope everyone is well now.
    It has been a very busy week here. Tomorrow is Carl's funeral. That is all we have planned so far. Sunday will probably be a day to rest. I have sure been burning the candle and both ends!!
