This and That

Another weekend is over and I still didn't get everything done. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

My fall clean up is underway. Lawns mowed, edged and fall fertilizer is down. Some pruning done but still plenty left to do. I sure wish I could wake up some morning and find that some thief had come in the middle of the night and stole all the work I have left! Wouldn't that be great? I mean where are their values? Ha!

Our weather, in the Pacific Northwest, has been unseasonably warm. It was around 80 degrees yesterday and truly a beautiful day. It gets cool at night though.  I love this time of year!

The girls played outside all day yesterday, and got their weekly bath in the afternoon.  They just look gorgeous. I will never have any other breed of dog as long as I live. Westies are kind, loyal and friendly dogs. They are easy to train and have an enthusiastic spirit. Great dogs for kids.

I made time in my busy day yesterday to go and visit with Madison. She is growing so fast! She has cut two teeth and loves to show them off with her infectious smile. Every time I look at here I still can't believe she is MY granddaughter. I am truly blessed!

My grape arbor is loaded with concord grapes! I have so many I have no idea what to do with them all. I keep giving them away to friends, family and neighbors but I swear they seem to multiply overnight. They make the best juice you ever tasted. I've made it before but I really don't have the time this year.  Next year I will need to take the time so Madison has some homemade grape juice.

I grew a few pumpkins this year, mainly for Maddie. She is still too young to understand Halloween, but I want to get the tradition started so that in years to come she will look forward to coming to grammy's pumpkin patch for her very own pumpkin.

Well, that's it for now. Wishing you all a wonderful and safe week ahead!
