I was really looking forward to this past weekend.  I had big plans of welcoming hubby home from the road, us running a few errands, and digging out the rest of the fall decor.  I still have a plastic tub of fall things I want to put out in the View Post

Sunshine and Rainbows

Monday was sunshine and rainbows here.  Literally!  When I walked out back to feed the backyard kitties, I noticed the rising sun hitting on another neighbor's tree perfectly. Look at that gorgeous color!  Perfect fall colors.  However, the View Post

Fall Sneak Peeks

This past week we got to enjoy some fall sneak peeks.  The weather was dreary looking and rainy.  The temperature even dropped down into the lower 70s.  I've even noticed leaves falling from one of the trees in our backyard.  It just felt like fall View Post

An early morning start for me this Wednesday!  5 AM, to be exact.  I heard The Teen bumbling around downstairs, so I decided to get on up.  He went to bed at 8 PM last night, so he was up with the chickens this morning.  I figure I can get a nap this View Post
