Activities of the season. . .
A walk in the woods. CrockPot soup simmering. Bread baking. An outing to shop for warm clothes. Quilt sewing. Beautiful fall leaves drifting. Friends gathered around the table. Pumpkins. Pulling out sweaters and quilts. A long afternoon bath with hot cocoa and magazines. Drying sunflowers and Indian corn from the garden.
Sometimes it's the little things that make lasting memories.
A perfect day indeed Vickie, especially a nice long soak:-)

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 :)
