Celebrating the Temporary
A long bath in the afternoon with magazines and hot cocoa.
A visit from family. The joy of bean tee-pees! Small hands and chipmunk voices. Hugs and kisses.
Rainy weather. An outing to shop for warm clothes. Homemade soup simmering, bread baking. Quilt sewing. Beautiful fall leaves drifting. Friends gathered around. The perfect pie pumpkins from a friend's garden... (thanks John!) Pulling out sweaters and heavy quilts. A dining room table covered with drying sunflowers from the garden. . .
A perfect day indeed Vickie, especially a nice long soak:-)

I love reading and seeing your pictures and brought me back to what it going on outside, this is truly my favorite time of year, at least it was:)

Hi! This is my first time visiting your blog and it's beautiful! I had so much fun reading the last few posts..and had to giggle a bit at the reference to the Susan Branch book / Jack,water,lemon trick...I was just reading that two nights ago! I love that book, don't you? Anyway, I have added you to my list of blogs to visit!

That does sound like a nice day...Not so dissimilar from mine, only, I forgot about the cake I had in the oven when I got in the bath and it was in 15 minutes too long!!!! How dumb was that? Calgon! Take me away!!
God bless.

When I was a kid Mom used to dry huge sunflower heads from our garden. Thanks for reminding me of that :)
