A foggy September morning

It was a beautiful morning. the fog was drifting over the corn, so I ran outside in my jammies to take some pictures, yes, I do this often, I live in the country, sort of. Then sat in my swing and had this delicious kale,apple, banana, pear smoothie for breakfast in the morning sun. I love chia seeds, so that's what on top of the glass. I have been busy since then, juicing apples, and making apple salad. Now, to do some crafting and then I am going to settle down with Stephen King, and read Dr. Sleep.....Hope

you all enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday to my bros

U of I Extension Fall Festival

The U of I Home Extension Fall Festival, was really awesome. It was well planned and organized and everything went off without a hitch. There was a nice crowd, the weather was beautiful, and as usual, I was the last one to leave, still painting little faces. I came home and Bill had a fire going in the fire pit. It was really cool today, was down to 43 last night, so the fire felt good. Of course, I had to roast some marshmallows! Then we went for an evening bike ride and stopped to visit Bill's mom, and Bill's brother. All in all, a great day! Hope yours was too!

Red Hatters Sept.

I had lunch with my Red Hat sisters today. Kathy Albert really taxed our brains asking trivia questions, they were good ones and on all different subjects too. I forgot my camera, so no pictures this time, too bad too, the tables looked so pretty, as always. Thanks for joining us, Gayle Erxleben, it's always nice to see you. Afterwards, I stopped by Country Creek Treasures and a lady was just walking out the door with my vintage pumpkins!! Guess I'd better get busy making some more! I hope you all are enjoying your day!

Headbands

We had a wonderful time at Shelley's today. Since the boys were in school, just us ladies went out for lunch. We went to Ruby Tuesday's and sat there and talked and laughed for a couple of hours, just like old times. We stopped by Starbucks and got a pumpkin latte, oh wow, so good! After some catching up with the boys, we all play HEADBANDS...have you played this game? HILARIOUS! Then we looked outside and it was brewing up a dandy storm. We left right away, and drove home in the storm from hell!

Final super moon of 2014

The moon was so bright, I just used my regular camera with the built in zoom lens.  Amazing what you can pick up of there is enough light, it's just magical to see it so close to the earth and lit so brightly.

"Vintage" black cat treat buckets made from plastic jack o lanterns.

Kinmundy Labor Day Festival

Bill and friends "stole" this lion one night when they were in high school and relocated him to the Alma post office.  After that, they bolted down the lion to the side walk, where he still stands today.

Waiting for the parade to start.

Our friend, Jake, on his mule.
