Be sure to join us at Happy Homemaker Monday with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom

And in the blink of an eye October is almost over! Don’t forget to change your clocks next weekend! And for those going out on Halloween, you might want to do it BEFORE you leave on Saturday night or you’ll be late for everything on Sunday 🙂 And for those that need to hear it Christmas is in 60 days. 

LAST WEEK RECAPPED

GOOD MORNING I hope you had a productive and happy week. Mine was super busy, but productive. A girlfriend and I went shopping for “craft parts” for our various projects that we’re making for the craft fair and bazaar. I helped another friend with her Costco shopping for her new business, helped hubby with a fence problem, cut out several large sections of wild blackberry behind the fence that backs up to the county highway because it was starting to overtake the fence and grow through it, did some outside projects and winterizing on the faucets and hoses before the rain began yesterday, cleaned out dresser drawers and hope chests… 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

The rain finally returned to the Pacific North West yesterday! We are forecasted to have rain all week with temperatures in the low 50’s during the day and some 30’s and 40’s at night.

FAVORITE PHOTOS FROM THE CAMERA

I received the hay bale and scarecrows from my secret pal, and started on some fun crafts for the craft fair and bazaar on November 7th. And I love the Rochester one lane bridge near our house, especially during the fall season when the colors start changing.
