I had myself a busy Summer and Fall. Keeping the inside and outside of a home in good shape isn't easy for me any more. Hoping I do not have to mow again. It will be raking time soon. I whacked weeds, mowed every week or ten days. Mulched and painted . Planted flowers, sprayed weeds and outside foundation for bug control ( I do that every season).
For fun I go to bingo, lunches, and music group. Joined the American Legion women's auxilary this summer. Then started selling pies to raise money to help Vets . Will be helping bag candy for trick or treating kids, for the group too. Thankfully, I get to have time with my daughters and family also.
You are all in my prayers. To be safe and healthy. XO
Sounds like you’re doing well.
ReplyDeleteDebby, I sure as trying. I know Ted would want be to be happy as well as my children, some days are tougher than others. Praying all the time my friend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan, Wishing you well. Let's enjoy these pretty fall days. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLovely to hear from you, again. Enjoy your Fall season.
ReplyDeleteOh yes dear friend, I am trying to glean joy each day...I have a few crying times. Then I pray for strength. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI love the flowers and pumpkins you have pictured there. I'm not into the scary stuff either. I enjoy the pumpkins the kids carve and decorate. I'm glad you are getting plenty of family time. I know it means a lot to me too. I'm too old and creaky to do much voluntering any more. Even when it comes to baby sitting, I'm not sure if I'm watching my grandson when they go away and leave us, or if he is watching over me. Enjoy pumpkin season from now until Thanksgiving !
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Ma. Oh I often tell my young neighbors, I am here if they need someone in a pinch. I see my daughter wore to a frazzle after watching her grandson. Haha. I love that your grandson watches over you while you are watching him. God is so good. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI am so happy to read you are doing well Susie....so many activities and keeping busy and staying happy....how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy. I am so blessed with my daughters and their families. Also so very good friends to do fun things when I have time. Once a boss told me time is money. I think time is a gift we take for granted. We need to hold our family and friends tight. Bless you and your beautiful family. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteAutumn decorations are my favorite. So warm, so comforting. I could leave them up all year long!
ReplyDeleteWell when decorating for season, we can leave them up about 3 months. I love that part. For summertime, I like to have some flags in the mix too. Aren't you amazed at the many colors and textures of gourds and pumpkins. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt was so nice to read your post and hear that you have an active life. Getting together will friends, doing volunteer work and just getting outside in the fresh air is so good for us.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you dear blogging friend :)
Oh my dear friend, thank you . I try my best to do something everyday. Cause you know when winter comes there's so much indoor time. I may put a small chair out on tiny back porch and wear a coat to sit out for 5 minutes or so this winter. I used to do that at the farm house. Hope you are well and having joy in your life. Blessings, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteHi Susie..It's nice to see your post..It sounds as though you've been busy keeping up with your house...sometimes a big job..We usually are still mowing in to Thanksgiving..aat least until all the leaves are gone. It's nice to be outside anyway..We have been in the 80's the last two days..60's tomorrow..Crazy weather..Glad you are doing well and that your family is close by..
ReplyDeleteThank you Missy. I am in the same town as my daughter, Angie, and my twins are 30 miles from here. But my 2nd daughter ,lives in Seattle near her only son and his family. I miss her and her cat Buddy. I probably will mow one or two more times. Then it's raking season. Who needs a gym? Blessings to you and your Zoey. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI dont do much Halloween like I use to when I had my annual Halloween party. Now I just do more Fall decor and just a wee bit Halloween. Those huge skeletons are popping up everywhere here and most folks leave them up and decorate for each month now. Maybe because they have no room to store them. LOL Janice
ReplyDeleteOMG Janice, they do that here too. I just think it looks tacky.To me that's back yard decor, not all in town want to see it. :):)I really enjoy seeing pumpkins and mums as fall decor. Blessngs to you , xoxo, Susie
DeleteDearest friend, so happy to see a new post from you, and from the sound of things you are keeping busy, and embracing this beautiful Fall season.
ReplyDeleteI don't decorate like I once did, but still have to do my part for the little spooks and goblins.
What a cute little sign, and the pumpkins are perfect !
Be well dear one,
Jo
Thank you Jo. Some of the tree here seem to be at the peak of color and some are turning slower. The leaves of the crimsom maples are just drying up and falling off. We have had great temps through out the day and so chilly at night. LOL I want to enjoy it all, cause sweet girl, you know what is coming. Blessings, stay safe and warm. xoxo, Susie
DeleteGod bless.
ReplyDeleteSo….I went backwards to see what posts I may have missed! It sounds like you have been busy! Sending you hugs and love!
