fall days are here at last!

leaves and evening sun. the chill in the air. the steamy hot cup of coco. sounds like fall to me!

november evenings

much more enjoyable with a new place to sit in the evenings. a new spot in the garden to sit and watch. with so much still happening all around, it is hard to believe that winter will bring an end to it. but the anticipation for spring is already brewing.

enjoy your fall evenings.

stripes & plaids

who says stripes and plaids can't mix?

they do around here! these are a pair of her new shoes, and they are a tad bit too big. but she insists.

good finds on ETSY

FABRIC COASTERS

what a great way to spruce up your garden patio or to add some color to your kitchen table.

these fabric coasters are washable, and keep your drinks steady while protecting your table from water marks.

these and more can be found in my ETSY shop at

plus a lot of other goodies you might like.

hope you all find something to spruce up your day today.

a fall friend

we had a beautiful butterfly friend visit our garden this morning. we have had several the past few weeks actually. and they are very welcome here. well, adored would be the more appropriate word. adored by little ones who have recently learned the sign for butterfly.

i think this spring we will have to grow flowers that attract butterflies, just to ensure they stick around! although the zinnias do a fine job for now.

we hope you find some fall friend to have around this fall!

wind in my hair

late summer evenings are perfect for summer dresses and flip flops. which are perfect for running thru the yard.

we have found tons of things to do in the yard so we can stay outside. but i think we might have over done it! now there is nothing to do but run around and play. and wait for the squash to grow so we can make pickled squash!

numm! nuuummm!

a fresh idea

abigail and i enjoyed a fresh from the garden salad for dinner tonight. fresh broccoli and tomatoes. the peas were bought frozen, but the rest was fresh.

together we shared a large bowl on the kitchen floor. our favorite place to sit and eat. i enjoyed my half of the bowl with a dipping bowl of spicy ranch mixed with raspberry chipotle sauce. scrumptious!

it was such a fast and easy meal. i didn't feel like cooking, so fresh was the way to go. some may call this "bird food", but i say the birds in our garden dine like kings!
