Good graffiti!
Posted in Home on November 21, 2010|
A few months ago I purchased 2 wall saying decals to put in our house and I just now made time to hang them. They are so pretty!!! C helped me level and install them because my level is never the same as the level’s level.
It took about an hour to do both and most of that time was spent double checking ourselves to make sure we were doing it right.
This one is in the kitchen over the opening into the living room…
The second one is in the utility room with Southern Living bumblebee hooks underneath it.
Now I finally have someplace to put hangers when I am doing laundry after four and a half years!
What have I done today? Let’s see… I have washed windows, emptied my flower pots for winter storage, drained 4 rain barrels, cleaned out the garden bed, trimmed back the dead perennials, swept the porch and deck, walked the dog a couple of times, fixed a pot of chili, baked a cake, and washed multiple loads of laundry. Whew, I’m tired and it’s only 2:00pm! Time to clean up and wait for all of the little ghosts and goblins. Happy Halloween to all of my readers!

Thanks to the hot, dry weather we have had the last few weeks (months) and a major windstorm yesterday, our fall foliage is severely lacking. I decided to look back in my photos to find a pretty fall view, and here it is from way back in November of 2008. Hope you enjoy…

Menu Plan Monday
Posted in Home, Menu Planning, Pets on October 4, 2010|
A week doesn’t seem like a long period of time, but a lot of change can happen in a week. I wrote about losing our precious border collie a couple of weeks ago and we didn’t know if or when we would get another dog. C & I both love dogs, but losing Patches hurt so much we weren’t sure if we wanted to go through that again. Sometimes fate intervenes and it sure did this time.
A young lady that C works with had to move and could not take her dog with her. She had rescued “Ellie”, a two year old Siberian Husky, and didn’t want to have to take her back to a shelter again. C found out last Thursday about the dog, we got her on Friday, and she is now a permanent fixture in our home. Meet Ellie…
She LOVES long walks, even at 5:00am! The only trouble we have had has been with Mama Cat. She does not appreciate this new addition at all, especially since Ellie is inside and Mama C is not!
Anyway, below is my menu plan for the week. Hopefully, we will have a wonderful first week with Ellie in our lives.
Grilled pork chops with roasted potatoes & salad
Sausage bake
Grilled steaks and potato wedges with salad
Pizza night
Chess Squares
Also, I thought I would share a view of the Little Barren River that flows past the farm we live on. Check out my new header photo!
This year’s garden-2nd generation Part II:
What a difference a few weeks makes! These cucumber seeds were just sprouting on August 28th, and look what happened in just 3 weeks!

The view from our bay window Saturday morning:
Can you see them?
No. Then let’s zoom in a little. Can you see them now?
That’s a little better, but let’s zoom in a little more.
Gobble, gobble!!!

It has been hot as blue blazes here in the Bluegrass so I decided to remind myself of some cooler (ok, colder) weather that we had just a few short months ago!
