The Weather:::
It's 85 degrees, a little humid but a nice breeze is blowing which makes it feel a little "Fall-ish".
Right now I am:
Sitting at my desk, typing this post on my laptop.
Thinking:
Pecan harvest is just about here. We already have some pecans falling. It's my favorite time of the year. Also my granddaughter turns 5 friday and my youngest son turns 25 Saturday...sniff, sniff...
On my reading pile:::
"My So-Called Life as a Proverbs 31 Wife" by Sara Horn
"Ramona and Beezus" by Beverly Cleary. Actually, I've been reading this to my granddaughter.
Just finished the first book in a series called "The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter". The first book is "The Tale of Hill Top Farm".
On my tv:::
Once Upon A Time...I'm so glad it's back on!
Copper
Blue Bloods
Grimm
Call The Midwife

Some laundry.
Take the puppy to the vet this afternoon.
I have a bucket of pears to put up.
I have some left over baked ham that I need to cut up and freeze.
AND THIS WEEK I'M GOING TO CLEAN OUT MINE & MY HUSBANDS CLOSETS!! Not thrilled!
Friday I will be cooking the chili for the party and Saturday will be getting everything else ready for birthday girls party that will be in the evening.
When my husband is home, there are various chores to fill the time in preperation for the pecan harvest.
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I have a good many shells and sand dollars from our last visit to the island. I am getting them cleaned to put in a pretty display for a gift. (My grandaughter and I are doing this together to give to her mother)
Homemaking Tips:::
Less is better....throw it all away! Easier said than done, huh!
Looking around the house:::
Things are in order and clean for the most part (minus those dreaded closets!).I really wish I could keep things like this during harvest season.
From the camera:::
Last years trip to the Pumpkin Patch
On my prayer list:::
My family...a friend.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
I'm on my second week of the Bible study "When Godly People Do Ungodly Things" by Beth Moore....lots to think and ponder over.

I have to give those books a try, I think I would really enjoy them :)
Mmmm pecans, I love pecans :)
Hope you have a fantastic week.
I absolutely LOVE Sarah Horn's book! I think it shows a pretty accurate view of our struggles as mommies and wives! it was pretty funny too. I think I read it in two days :)
hey, i looked for a reply email but couldnt find one.. yes, thats my little friend mr. green! I noticed him hangin out on my hood while goin to the grocery store and when I stopped at the red light he made his way up the window!
Anything a husband is willing to cook for his family is usually a wonderful relief from cooking every day.
pondering the books you mentioned (the so-called-Proverbs 31-womand the Beth Moore book - BOTH sound interesting and practical!!!!
Just saw you live on a pecan farm - which sounds so enchanting ... except that I'm allergic to tree nuts :( but I love trees/orchards so I could come visit and just LOOK!!! :)
