October 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Although the weather is quite nice yet, the leaves are just starting to change color.  It's really quite lovely walking through the woods.  I have noticed that the squirrels have been gathering nuts all summer long and into fall.  I sure hope that isn't an indication of what type of winter we're going to have!

This is the best part of October . . . trips to the pumpkin patch to find those perfect pumpkins for carving.  The farm we go to also have a petting zoo and they take you out to the pumpkin field in horse-drawn wagons.  I love that part the best because I've always wanted a pair of draft horses.  My uncle had Clydesdale horses.  So big, but so gentle.  I used to ride them when I was young.  I could sit Indian-style on their backs and just enjoy the ride.  It was great!  Beautiful animals.  And, it just wouldn't be Halloween without a witch!

Well now . . . what have we here?  When my husband got back from his last kayaking trip out west, he always cleans up his gear before packing it away for winter.  Boo, of course, felt compelled to "help".  What can I say?  He's a "daddy's boy"!!

See you in November!

September 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

I've never been a big fan of September.  When I still had children at home, the house was just too quiet when they went back to school.  I would go for a long ride on my black gelding, Sammy, just to escape the quiet in the house. Outside, there's a whole lot of work to do to get ready for winter.  I'm not a big fan of winter either, so it's kind of like having to do something whether I want to or not.  Just get 'er done.  We did get the hay moved in though, so that's one big job out of the way. 

The colors this month are really quite elegant.  Now, if fall around here came in colors like this, maybe I wouldn't mind September so much :)

August 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Well, this summer is sure flying by!  My granddaughter is spending weekdays here with me while Mom and Dad are working and her older siblings are either working or taking classes.  We're having so much fun.  I'm teaching her how to paint and we work on projects every day.  And, she's a talker, so we never run out of things to chat about.  I'm going to miss her company when she has to go back to school.

My flower gardens are so beautiful right now, but it won't be long and they'll kind of look like this "End of Summer" kit.

The Boo Update --

I got a box in the mail one day.  After I removed the goodies, Boo claimed the box as his.  He has been taking his afternoon nap in it every day.  SO . . . I decided we might as well spruce it up with little mice poking their heads out of holes.  What surprised me was when I put the decorated box back on the floor, Boo walked around the entire box to see all the new decorations.  He must have approved because he curled up in his box and went to sleep.  

I'll be back in September.  So will Boo!

July 2025 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

Working on this Blog Train kit was so much fun.  It rained all day and there wasn't much I could do outside. The colors were just perfect for creating a walk in the woods.  With all the rain we've had, everything is green and lush outside.  Somewhere in our woods, I've been hearing an owl, but I have yet to see it.  So, I'm not sure what kind of owl it is, but it has such a soothing sound in the evenings.

"Look!  I'm upside down!"  Sometimes I think he does stuff like this just to make me laugh.

Happy 4th of July!
