harvest days are the hardest for me...

the hours seem endless...

so I try to fill my time...

the best I can...

pirate guy's make over...

he was going bald...

I sat outside this evening at sunset to get some more photos...

I noticed we should have really watered today...

I miss my guys...

and the neighbors that are gone now...

our "new" neighbors don't talk...

but they are busy making over the house...

and they both work...

this is my view when I sit on the steps and look towards the street...

one of my favorite places to spend time...

I need to go through the winter clothes totes and pull out some warmer things and get them washed up and ready to go...

we are in those days where you need a sweatshirt in the morning and a tank top and flip flops after lunch...

I started a movie on Netflix and got half way through with it...

so will watch the other hour of it tonight after DH goes to bed...

I still wait up for Craig to get home...

"To Kill A Mockingbird" is one of my favorites...

and its been awhile since I had seen it...

and I started crocheting again this year...

been many years since I did this...

I have been making baby blankets and lap throws...

this is the latest...

my testimony to the many hours spent alone...

;0)

I have one in the van for when we are out...

the parking lots are so cold in the winter time in a wheel chair...

I gave one away when a new baby came...

there are some in a tote in my play room...

and this one...

it started with a bag of yarn at a rummage sale for $5...

every one of them is single crocheted...

for warmth...

I have made some scarves, too...

the thought was to make baby blankets and give them to the toy drive...

for the babies...

;0)

and it has kind of exploded into chaos...

you know how it goes...

;0)

its another Monday...

DH was off Saturday and Craig was off Sunday...

so I had a weekend with the guys...

DH and I did the grocery shopping and Walmart run...

ate supper out...

Craig and I took a drive in the country...

between laundry, dishes, cooking and cleaning...

we had fog this morning and the sun is just now coming out...

and its going to be right around 80 for the next few days...

we got about a third of an inch of rain from the hurricane spin offs...

South Carolina wasn't so lucky...

the images are just horrific...

and people have lost so much...

the farmers are still picking here...

some working some dirt in between...

prices of corn are down, so we think they are leaving it longer in the field hoping they won't have to pay the drying fees...

there is a lot already done, but so much more to go, yet...

it would be nice if they were all finished before Halloween...

and they could've been easily, but waiting for better prices is something they need to do...

as long as it doesn't backfire...

one wind storm will knock it down and then picking will be an ugly monster...

the white thing is a ground pile...

when they no longer have room in the bins...

the corn goes here...

and the metal thing in front is called a stacker...

I am having better days...

figured out it was the Metformin that was making me so sick and hurt more than normal...

called the doctor's office and going in on Thursday to see if there is something else I can take...

didn't get much of anything at Walmart...

a pair of gloves and ear muffs...

a couple things of yarn...

shampoo, body wash and vitamins...

we really do lead a boring life...

McD's had Big Macs on sale, so we ate there for supper...

we don't get those very often at all, so was fun doing it...

we hit Kroger for the groceries and had the back seat full in the van...

its easy putting things in the cart and hauling them to the van...

but all the trips from the van inside and then finding a place to put everything isn't for wimps...

and we are wimps...

we both took naps after we got it all done...

;0)

hope your weekend was wonderful...

I know that many spent the weekend in the area pumpkin patches...

;0)

I miss having time to do fall stuff...

since DH has been working at harvest time these past years...

we didn't always have to do harvest...

we were normal once...

long ago...

;0)

have good days!

I'm getting my halloween on...

come back later for more...

have a great weekend and do something weird...

its just more fun that way...

;0)

another week, another month...

this week has just flown by for me...

so much for getting my list done...

I did play with the inside fall decor yesterday, but not happy with it...

gotta rework it a bit...

and I didn't even cook yesterday!  

I know, shame on me...

we snagged a pizza instead at Casey's...

and a box of day old doughnuts...

and it was full of pumpkin ones...

;0)

got a couple of prayer requests this morning...

if you do that kind of thing...

my uncle, the last surviving one is in the hospital and they think he had a stroke...

they just moved my aunt and uncle into a nursing home last weekend...

she is not well, either...

then...

got news late last night about one of our local firemen...

they thought his intestines were coming out...

and he is a fireman/ rescue driver...

he is trained as a first responder and goes out on calls with the ones who transported him last night...

he helped us with Christmas Is A Child, was Santa for the fire stations thing with the local kids here and he was the main one to get the fireworks back in town along with extended the activities to it becoming an all day thing...

he has a wife and 2 daughters...

he is just a few years older than my son and was our next door neighbor when he was a kid...

he tries so hard to do good...

and he helps so many people here...

please keep them both in your prayers this weekend...

DH has Sunday off and so does Craig...

(Craig's birthday is tomorrow, but you didn't hear it from me)

I think we will be heading out to Paris...

you know...

the home of the whopper...

;0)

happy october !

got the furnace on!

we are cooler now...

I am dressing the part, too...

had to dig in the closet a bit farther back this morning...

even with the sun out this morning...

its nippy...

I will have to wear a hoodie when we go out...

DH grabbed his sweat shirt and hoodie this morning...

;0)

bon fire weather, for sure...

but we might need one in the daytime, too...

thinking of putting out the fall stuff inside today...

just been waiting for October to roll around...

these are more photos of our drive the other day when we got the rain...

keeping an eye on the hurricane...

got family in the way...

got a call yesterday afternoon that they might be heading this way if it heads for them...

;0)

be safe if you are in the zone...

do you have your fall on?

are you done decorating?

its time!

have great days and keep smiling...

someone may need one of them today...
