To my world of the weird, the strange, the unexplained......... no, I'm just kidding, this is a happy place......OK, maybe I am just a little weird.

Finally....we had a little time by the firepit

 Had a little fire pit time for a little while this afternoon. We didn't want to build a big one, it's way to dry.We enjoyed it though...we haven't had rain for over 2 months here in  southern Illinois.


 

Asta Lavista hummingbirds

 Guess the hummingbirds are heading south, haven't seen any all day. They are usually buzzing around me when I am outside. I'm sad to see them go.

Halloween plants

 My porch flowers are getting all leggy and ugly now, thought I would decorate them for Halloween for one last hurrah before the frost sets in.

Red Hat Ladies Halloween party

 Red Hat ladies were celebrating Halloween today! We had a great time! I took this photo at home of my costume this year....a 1920's socialite (the ladies thought I was a bride). The rest were taken at the party. Fun, fun, fun!

Lunch with the ladie of the class of '67

 Had lunch with the ladies of '67 and one gentleman of '67, Barry Robbins. Two ladies we haven't seen for years came home to join us. Great to see you Christine Holler and Connie Roethe-Smith! It was great to see everyone!

More Halloween and Streampunk crafts I made for my craft booth

 Here's a few things I 've crafted lately for Country Creek Treasures. We've had quite a few beautiful warm days recently, but things are starting to cool down. I've spent as much time as possible outside, but we are under a no burn order, so no firepit time for us. The hummingbirds are still around, but sadly, they will be leaving soon. Bill and I went to the Little Egypt Festival Saturday and that is all of the news from Kinmundy town! I hope you have all had a great day.

Halloween nesting dolls

 I got some of my Halloween decorations out today, because, why not? My daughter got me these 2 groups of nesting dolls years ago, I love them! The jack-o-lantern ones are full of little wooden ghosts, but I ran out of room. I already decorated my mantle too. The candles on the mantle came with a remote, I can make them flicker, control the brightness, turn them off and on and adjust the timer without leaving the couch! How lazy am I?
