WELCOME OCTOBER

"October's the month when the smallest breeze gives us a shower of autumn leaves, bonfires and pumpkins, leaves sailing down.  October is red and golden and brown."  ~Author unknown~

WELCOME THE FIRST DAY OF FALL

The leaves have not started to turn here, but this morning is crisp and cool and it really feels like fall on this first day of fall. 

          
       
                              An Autumn Day

Pumpkins in the cornfields, gold among the brown, leaves of rust and scarlet trembling slowly down; birds that travel southward, lovely time to play; nothing is as pleasant as an autumn day!

SEPTEMBER SUNFLOWER DECORATIONS

The above pictures are some of my September sunflower decorations I have inside my house.

The above pictures are of the sunflower decoration I have outside in my yard.

PATRIOT DAY NEVER FORGET

My husband and I were in Washington State getting ready to go to Oregon to visit our daughter, Kara, and her family.  We were still at the motel we stayed in the night before.  We turned on the T.V. and saw the plane hit.  At first I thought it was a hoax but after a while it became very clear it was not.  We made it down to our daughters.  We did have a good visit.  Coming back to Alabama
I will never forget the flags posted over the overpasses and all the flags flying in the yards.   When it came time to cross the Hoover dam (we were in our van) we were afraid they would not let us get across but thank heavens they did and we made it home ok. 

I will always remember these terrible tragedies and will continue to pray for this country and the people who lost loved ones.  GOD BLESS AMERICA.

HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY

To all my relatives and friends who are grandparents hope your day is a good one.

GRANDDAUGHTER'S, JULIE, BABY SHOWER

Julie and her husband Bill.   My daughter-in-law, Lisa did a beautiful job of decorating for the shower.

All the people who  were in attendance.  It was a family affair.  Julies side of the family and Bills side of his family. 

She got lots of nice things for the baby to be.

This is a drawing my son did for the baby. 

This is a picture of three generations and the fourth on the way.  My daughter, Debra, Julie's mother that is me in the middle and Julie the mother to be.    We had a great time and now all we have to do is wait on the little ones arrival in October. 

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

"By all these lovely tokens September days are here with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer."    ~Author Unknown~

"Try to remember the kind of September where life was slow and oh so mellow.  Try to remember the kind of September when grass was green and grain so yellow.  Try to remember the kind of September when you  were a young and a callow fellow.  Try to remember and if you remember then follow .. follow."   ~lyrics by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt.

Here's hoping everyone has a blessed and wonderful September. 

MORE PILLOWCASES

Another pair of pillowcases done.  When you are retired and live by yourself you have lots of time on your hands.  When I am not working in the yard and have all my housework done I either crochet or embroider.  I am now working on some dresser scarfs which when finished I will post the pictures.

ENCORE AZALEAS

These are three of my encore azaleas that I have in front of my house.  The middle one is
pink and the other two are red.  I enjoy watching the butterflies and yes hummingbirds that
come to get the nectar from the flowers.  I have tried getting pictures of the hummingbirds
that comes around but have not been able to get my camera in time before he or she leaves.
The butterflies do not stay long enough to get a good picture.   Click on picture to enlarge. 

HOLIDAY TABLE RUNNERS

This is what I have been doing when I have time, embroidering these holiday table runners. 
I can not wait to be able to use them.  I also have crocheted a couple of baby afghans which
I will post later after I give them to the mother to be.  Click on picture to enlarge.
