While my last post written on September 28 was kind of glum about the month, September was not done with me. It gave me a stomach virus to end the month. Normally, I love September I was more than happy for a new month.

I have also ended up with the worst sinus infection ever and am on a 28 day antibiotic. I think even knowing this calendar year was going to hold some tough times, I didn’t acknowledge the fact that I would need to really take care of myself. I am rundown, but have come to terms with I am not Wonder Woman. I have to prioritize taking care of me. I won’t bore you with anymore glum thoughts. 

I did finally accept fall was here and decorated my house. The only thing I did differently this year was to add an old German beer stein with some cute fall flowers out for October. I saw one on Pinterest with pretzels in it and I thought it would be cute with the flowers.

Last week was amazing weather. Low humidity and just the most pleasant temperatures that you could wish for year around. It warmed back up this week, but last night the cold came blowing in. We are experiencing our fist cold day of the year. It was in the 50’s this morning at 7:00 and it is a tad windy. I am not sure I was ready for that! Time to pull out some different clothes:) for today at least. I think fall did come early here this year or like it used to do. Now winter does not have to follow suit. I have noticed there are very few acorns this year. I feel like 2 years ago we have a boomer crop. This year the squirrels will be hungry in north Florida.

Tucker turned 4. I seriously can’t believe that. He enjoyed his family party and we enjoyed him. I will save all the family pics for the end. 

I have stitched when I had time to stitch on a sampler. I have made a lot of progress but the bottom half is a lot of dense stitching with the house, the sheep and the grass so I kind of skipped around and I do a little on the house and on the grass along with some of the other things. It will not be done right away but this particular sampler has been comfort stitching. I want to do some Christmas stitching from now until then, so I will have to share my time on it with those things.

Mother is doing better but pneumonia certainly slowed her down. 

Now for a few family pictures out of order because I don’t have the time to fool amd work around Blogger issues.

The heron hung in the background.

A lady that lives in Mom’s area gave her a wagon for the boys. It needed a paint job so I decided to make it an Auburn wagon. I will be taking it to the Auburn house for them to play with up there. Until then, Palmer and I have been using it for our daily walks.

That is all I have time for today. Karen commented the sweetest thing about prayer on my last post. As you may have realized I have had no time to even reply to the previous ones. I will try to do better this time. No promises though. It is a busy season of life right now. I do know it will get better though.
