Today was another beautiful day here in Oklahoma so even though I had things that needed to be done inside, I spent some time here: I sat on the porch drinking iced tea, reading and listening to music. And hanging out with Dharma: And admiring the view: I may not have made much progress on…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 11 – Carpe Diem
This morning I checked the upcoming weather forecast and was delighted to see this: It is currently 82 degrees and I just took Shiloh for a walk. I purposely took my phone so I could capture a bit of fall color. That last one wasn’t an attempt to be artsy but a matter of accidentally…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 10 – Decorating the Fireplace
Yeah, I’m still behind. I’d tell you all about why but even I would be bored by the explanation. So let’s just move on, shall we? I still have the box of fall decorations sitting at the foot of the stairs. I did put the lighted jack o’lantern in the front window tonight and I…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 9 – A Home of Plenty
Yesterday Lisa and I did our big monthly shopping trip to Norman and Oklahoma City. I tried to write this post late last night but our Internet was creeping along at a snail’s pace so I gave up trying to load pictures. I had a noon meeting today and a hair appointment after that and…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 8 – Gathering Inspiration
This has been a busy day getting ready for my big, monthly shopping trip with my daughter tomorrow, plus a meeting this evening. I’d love to say I worked in time to do a little Autumn nesting but that simply didn’t happen. Instead I decided I would share a couple of sources of inspiration so…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 7 – Happy Feet
I really don’t like to wear socks. If I could wear nothing but my Birkenstocks year round, I’d be happy. Unfortunately my feet get cold and then I feel cold all over. Guess it’s time to drag out my socks and order some more. I have a couple of pairs of these: I am going…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 6 – Stocking Up
I always like to keep a decent supply of food and frequently used items on hand but come fall I step up my efforts. Knowing that I have everything I need here at home is a comfort to me and means I don’t have to make emergency trips to town in potentially bad weather when…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 5 – Fall Inspiration
Since my internet was down yesterday I need two posts today in order to keep up. It’s 10:15 p.m. as I begin this post and David is already asleep. It’s been a long and exhausting week for him. Since my computer is in our bedroom I’m going to keep this fairly short so my typing…
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 4 – A Room of My Own
*My internet was down yesterday so here is my belated Day 4 post. Our weather has taken a decided turn toward fall today. It’s overcast and only in the 50s. Brr! There will be some warm days here and there but sadly, my porch time is drawing to a close. I do intend to buy…
