its fall

my favorite season. the time for soups, home baked bread, crockpot meals, and spiked apple cider.  james is building the kids a tree house in the front yard.  i'll post pictures when i can find the camera.  since shepherd is 6 weeks old, we are done receiving meals from friends, so my housework has fallen behind enough that i can't find the camera under whatever piles it may be hidden under.

i'm going to do my very first blog sew-a-long with noodle-head.com.  i can't wait to have a cute skirt to wear with fun tights and boots this fall.  i'll post pics of that too (when the camera is discovered....).

good morning

my auturm breakfast - trader joes pumpkin spice coffee ( in my awesome  "i heart public transportation" mug from my bff), and a toasted bagel with trader joes pumpkin cream cheese. delightful.  also, see my super boring fence out that window?

today's (hopefully) the day I'll begin making my fence-fabulous bunting from these oilcloths.  pretty, huh? i got them all at pacific farics for $7.99/yd :)

this is the pretty little pink flower that welcomed me this morning on the succulent on my kitchen windowsill.  this plant flowers every couple of weeks, one blossom at a time, and each one lasts just 1 day.

and here's the little cutie i get to stare at the rest of the day.  yup - i'm a lucky mama :)

happy october day wishes to all of you!
