My day...

this is an old trunk that I picked up years ago and have had it in various places...
and it has not sold...
and I don't need it here...
so my son is getting this one...
after a good hosing down...
I have 3 in the house now...
ones I like better...
my new wheels...
it is so comfortable and the back wheels are huge so it's easy to wheel around...
I was out for my test drive when Rebecca showed up last night...
Craig took me for a walk and then DH took me later...
it is so nice to be out again...
all the neighbors came out to see me...
I'm thinkin' I need a horn and head lights...
the guys think I need a backup beeper...
the clouds looked like rain this morning...
but nothing...
and our chance is gone now until Thursday...
we need rain...
the morning glories are still going at it...
we have many different colors of them...
letting the cone flowers go to seed and some will be in arrangements when they are dryer...
and this has been a joy...
the sweet smell of these little white blooms has filled my yard for some time now...
fall doesn't get much better than the Autumn Clematis in bloom...
if we don't get rain...
we won't have color in the leaves...
the ones dropping now are all brown...
and I don't know about you all...
but we are plagued with dragon flies...
thousands of them...
they are migrating to Cuba...
but we have been so warm- 87 yesterday!...
that they are hanging out here until we get cold...
it's really weird in the evening when they are all flying around...
we do not live on the water...

new things...

little pumpkins from the Dollar Tree...
Rebecca picked them up for me and delivered them tonight...
I already had one...
another white one...
so now I have 3...
and then she left these for me to try...
her mom had these in her kitchen and changed them out...
she was going to sell them in their rummage sale last weekend...
I said not so fast...
she has 30 of them!...
I have a lot of cabinets...
I need 29...
I have oak cabinets...
I want them off white...
been talking about it for 3 years now...
took that long to convince my DH, who loves wood...
that this would be a great idea...
the hardware was holding me up this year...
of course all the ones I like are the top end...
go figure...
so I have been waiting for a bargain...
ta-da...
my kitchen is yellow right now...
and I love yellow and pink and white together...
I think in the spring, the cabinets are getting painted...
the knobs will go on sooner than that...
some happy thoughts for winter time...
bead board is also involved in this plan...
yeah...
it's coming...

The prettiest thing around here today was the sky...

my new wheels came in today...
UPS guy left it and ran...
it was too big for me to mess with...
so it sat on the deck all day...
and then when Craig got  home...
he pulled it out of the box and off we went...
he had to meet Rebecca up at the Meeting House to get one of my trunks out of there...
she's been going every Monday and cleaning...
they are getting ready for an event this weekend...
and we had some things left in there from the last time...
so now there is a trunk in the back of the truck that needs unloaded...
and the sun went down without me getting any photos of it or my new chair!...
so you all will have to wait until tomorrow...
unless it rains...
but I will get them posted soon enough...
so enjoy the evening...
and sleep tight...


Slide show added:

I just added a slide show using the keyword from picasa for Captain Jack Sparrow and it worked!
If you want to use an album, you can do that also.

the trial run went off fine...

and 3 of us did it!...
I can't wait until more join in on the fun...
but while I was waiting on more partiers...
we found orange on the persimmons...
it's been a beautiful week...
and I have felt really good today...
I'm trying for that perfect photo to save in my garden scrapbook...
I usually love the yellow ones...
but my son brought home the orange...
his favorite color...
the school colors here are orange and black...
halloween colors...
and we have to be careful out here now or one of these little guys will fly up your nose...
there are so many of them now...
and there's some buzzin' going on...
and of course I have to have my shadow fix today...
check out the post below for the blog party...
that I hope will get better as time goes on...
there is still time to get in on this month...
as long as the linky is open!...
the next one will happen on October 10th...
we had 3 very different collections...
and each one is unique in its own way...
and Rebecca and Gail had their collections displayed wonderfully...
so go check them out...
and remember...
3 or more of anything is a collection!...
have a great evening...
