That’s right, it’s October. Another month, another season. Jeeze time, slow the f down!
The week was another jammed packed crazy fest. We picked up 800sqft of flooring(that sucked moving) and bought more paint (pure freaking white). We finished laying all the tubing for the radiant floor heating, the radiators are painted, in place, and plumbed. The plumbers are coming tomorrow to give us a new boilers o we can use all these new heating devices. There were two birthday parties,(happy birthday Miley Lu and Alex) a day at the pumpkin patch and drawing flowers, and the constant running back a forth between hardware stores. I had the birthday boy over for breakfast and asked him what he wanted me to make him. Anything, and he chose eggs bacon and toast. I made the eggs and toast but was not willing to cook the bacon. Bad aunt maybe, but I wasn’t about to stink up my house with that. Just no. So I gave him chocolate chips and sprinkles instead. He was happy. Oh and my little (by giant) brother came home for the first time for the weekend from the military college dressed in military garb and looking all beefy and smart. Crazy what a month away from home will do to a person. I think he is much cooler now.(but don’t tell him that)
Maybe one of the best parts of the week…..Found my vintage yellow fridge! Oh how I love the craigslist. The mr and I went and picked it up yesterday. Had to load the heavy as hell fridge on top of the Volvo and drive 20 miles. It was terrifying . I thought the fridge was going to go barreling off onto the hood of the car or tip over and roll away. But we made it and now we are proud owners of a vintage yellow frigidaire fridge. It’s all sorts of fantastic.
So yeah, I am really tired today and feeling a little lousy this morning. I think I need to take it easy today, I can feel this turning into full on sick if I don’t catch it now. The mr and I need to clean up at the house and get ready for the plumbers, but other then that. Me and the couch are going to be friends today. Coffee, book, sleep. Sounds like a plan.

Yesteray the mr and I took a couple littles( and one not so little) to the farm for a tracker ride and pumpkin picking! It was fantastic. The sun was out, but it was still fall chilly. The pumpkins were amazing and we were the first one there so we had an the first pick of the lot! But before we went to the pumpkin patch, we went to the raspberry patch for some breakfast raspberries and the littles stumbled upon a super friendly, lovey black cat. Needless to say, they picked no raspberries and just ended up playing with the cat. I asked one of the farmers if they knew the cat and she told us it’s kind of the farms cat and her name is…wait for it…. Super Friendly.. Best name ever.
This week also included a birthday party, a solar eclipse (did you see it?) a little drive to check our some tree colors (wasn’t much at the time, but this week will be good) and some more apple picking (I can’t stop!). We also took one of the last trips to the garden to harvest some greens and got crushed. I have been babying a bed of rainbow chard all summer and was so excited to do one big-ass harvest. But when we got there, all the leaves have been eaten off. A Fuckface deer ate my chard! I was so mad and am still a little pissy about it, but what can I do? And really, If I was a deer , tI would have muched the shit out of that chard too.
Also, it seems that everyday I am digging/riffling through the basement for just one more long sleeve shirt, pair of wool socks, or a warmer pair of mittens. I have’t pulled out the jacket yet, but I think that it’s going to happen soon. I mean, wearing 2 long sleeve shirts and 2 sweaters is getting kind of annoying when I leave the house to walk the dog, So yeah, might do that today.
But this weather… SO GOOD right! Blankets, sweaters, tea and coffee, knitting and reading. If I could live in a fall state for my entire life. Oh man that would be great.
Anyways, enough about me, how about you? Are you enjoying the weather where you are? Are you getting out and doing all the fall things that one does? Are you at least getting in some r and r toady? I hope so. cause we all deserve it!
