for today

for today...

outside my window... 56F/cloudy @ 9am

i am thinking...  the woodchuck & deer have cleaned up 95% of the fallen apples

i am thankful for... pumpkins & autumn squash, of all varieties

i am wearing... blue jeans, thermal shirt & Birkenstocks

i am going... grocery shopping (which I dread)

i am currently reading... "The Life Raft," by CJ Schepers  

i am hoping... for more inspiration this month *sigh*

on my mind... gas @ $3.17/gallon, milk @ $2.55/gallon, butter @ $2.59/lb

pondering these words..."Bittersweet October:

The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter."

~ Carol Bishop Hipps ~

from the kitchen... tomato jam, apple cake

around the house... Windex & storm windows & porch windows

one of my favorite things... Oktoberfest

i'm creating... the October Challenges @ The Lilypad

a few plans for the week...  install a new firebox in the woodstove

from my lens:

this woodchuck takes off before I can ever get close enough lol

not a great shot, but I'll keep trying until all the apples are gone
