for today

 

for today

outside my window... 40F/cloudy @ 7:00am

i am thinking...  I need to trap a racoon 'sigh'

i am thankful for... strong friendships, a place to call home & online shopping!

i am wearing... denim jeans, thermal shirt, fleece hoodie, ankle boots

i am going... to VOTE in the Pennsylvania Primary on Tuesday

i am currently reading... 

"The Book of Hope"

~ Jane Goodall ~

i am hoping... the auto parts ordered will be installed this week

on my mind... gas @ $3.87/gallon, milk @ 3.99/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words...

"The year has turned its circle,

The seasons come and go,

The harvest all is gathered in

And chilly north winds blow.

Orchards have shared their treasures,

the fields, their yellow grain,

So open wide the doorway -

Thanksgiving comes again!"

~ author unknown ~

from the kitchen...

BBQ chicken & scalloped potatoes

chocolate crinkle cookies

shortbread cookies

all the fixins' for my annual 'stuffed cabbage rolls' day

around the house... afghans, down blankets, shawls and hoodies 'brrrr'

one of my favorite things...  pumpkin pie

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

a few plans for the week... fix the leaky kitchen faucet, firewood, yardwork

from my lens:

* The End *
