I am linking up with Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday
The weather in my neck of the woods..... It is beautiful and perfect and fall-like and I LOVE it!!!! Yesterday and today waking up to 49 degrees! Upper 60s and low 70s. Best, Weather. Ever!
Right now I am.... Hanging out with my windows open, sunshine spilling through. I have my pumpkin spice candles and wax melts going. The cats are chilling and I'm deciding what I want for breakfast.
Thinking about.... Last week I shared a picture of the rescue cat we took in, Jane Austen. The past couple of days she has been coughing. At first I thought she was just coughing up hairballs - but now I realize that she is either sick or has asthma or allergies or something. We planned to take her to the vet anyway because we are not sure how old she is. Hopefull,y it's nothing serious.
On the blog last week..... Mostly book stuff. I reviewed two books that I LOVED! I was very blessed with two stories that were amazing and wonderful. 5 stars for The Storyteller's Secret and 5++++ for The Great Alone!
On my reading pile.... You can read everything book-related in my The Monday Book Report post each week. I am reading Nora Robert's Stars of Fortune and I just picked up the LARGE PRINT COPY (lol-ing at how excited I got that I could read the book without the aid of cheaters!) of Joanne Bischof's "Sons of Blackbird Mountain". I am hoping to get started on that one today.
On my TV..... I will be embarrassed at my list next week - already warning you. New fall season!

From my camera:
Looking around the house.... Lots to do! I better get going.....
Seasonal Living..... Fall is my favorite time to decorate. I love the reds, oranges, yellows, burgandies, dark greens. I have a wreath on my front door, colored glass bottles in my kitchen windows and autumn dish towels and oven pads, a wreath on the pantry door, pumpkin spice and apple pie wax melts all over the house, fall leaves adorning candle holders, etc. LOVE!
Bible Study..... I'm doing Good Morning Girl's Ruth study - week 3. It's really good!

Glad I'm not the only one excited for the new fall TV season. Don't worry you are not alone. I'm looking forward to The Voice and (can't remember the name) the missing airplane show after it. Plus I'm also a bit intrigued by New Amsterdam. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOhh I'm gonna have to look for this dollar tree pizza crust you speak of! I hope to decorate for fall this year, I usually keep my summer decor up until Christmas lol, so its something on my bucket list! I love your menu plan... looks yummy and healthy! And I hope you get good news about Jane Austen! :)
