When I started this series I hadn’t really considered the fact that we would be leaving for New Orleans on the 25th. And then I had this notion that I could write extra posts and schedule them to post each day while I’m gone. As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men……
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 13 – Pumpkins and Friends
I bought some little pumpkins at Whole Foods recently. Don’t they make a nice addition to the autumn decor on our entry table? And just because they are adorable: Shiloh with his best buddy, Steinbeck
31 Days of Autumn Nesting: Day 12 – Priorities
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 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 2 – First Impressions
As they say, you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. I try to keep that in mind as I do my usual housework. Before I dive into a project like cleaning out a closet, I make sure the house is in reasonably tidy condition – beds made, dishes done, stuff put…
My Autumn Bucket List
I took the photo above last November but I’m re-running it for this post because, well, it doesn’t look like fall here yet and I needed a picture. Y’all know how I feel about summer ending and how I live in denial about the whole thing. If I had my way the year would go…
Autumn in Oklahoma
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall. Here in Oklahoma you might be forgiven if you didn’t notice that. It was very warm today and not at all fall-like. Actually that’s okay with me. I like early fall well enough as long as I don’t think too much about…
Autumn to Christmas
I’m in the process of turning my home into a cozy nest of Christmas-y cheer. Christmas is the bright spot in a season I could otherwise do without and I love to “deck the halls”. Here are some before and after pics of what I’ve been working on: This table is just inside our entry…
