Tuckered out


Camping?  Well, after a full day of splitting wood, we were too tuckered out to mess with the camper, ha ha!  We did sleep well, even if it wasn't in the good ol' outdoors.

Truth be told, I think if we put up the camper early, and then did the hard work, it would have worked.  However, that wonderful morning chill is back today and I would have not wanted to leave.  


We did get a good start on another row of stacked wood.  It was however, Hubby myself this time.  One daughter went to a friend's house for a school project, while two others dressed up in costumes for a Halloween/overnight party.


When Hubby and I retired for the night, I walked out to retrieve the day's mail delivery.

It was "happy" mail for me!  Yay!

 A beautifully quilted mug rug and a note written on paper shaped like a leaf.   Thank you Mama Pea!  You made my day!  I'll be using this often, and I might even take it to the porch as long as weather holds out too.  I love it!

Camping would have been loverly, but doesn't having that wood stacked and ready feel good, too?

Glad the little package arrived. I'm thinking of you still enjoying your little respites on the front porch . . . I could do that, too, but I'd have to don my down jacket to be comfortable doing so!

Mama Pea, it was very warm here yesterday but cool today. It is a relief to get the wood cut. We did more today.

Very cute mug warmer. Mama Pea did a beautiful job. We still have wood from last years. But will probably still have to cut a little more.

Michelle, we ran out of wood last year. We never expected such a cold winter. This year we will be prepared. I bought a Farmer's Almanac for 2015 also.

Beautiful mug rug, and I wonder if that's homemade paper the note's written on too.
Looks like it might be. Very pretty paper too.

God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
