Autumn Is On The Way, Get Out Your Sweaters 🍁🍂



Autumn is on the way

so I thought that I would 

dig out by decorations.



and jazz up the house

a bit. 




This post is mostly

just photos . . .





to inspire you 

to change things up.

and have fun doing it 🍂 





Oh, while the man was 

under the house installing

the ducting for the 

A/C and Furnace

he discovered that there

was a leak in the septic lines.

🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

Well when in rains it pours . . .

or 

when you flush it drips.




 

Anyway my 

Dear Sweet Great Nephew

and his Dad came over 

and fixed it.

He was there early waiting 

on his Dad, so he decided

to cut down a tree

that I'd mentioned (once

a while back) that I'd 

love removed.



He not only cut it down,

fixed my leaking septic 

by installing new pipes,

but he then cleaned it all

up and hauled it away . . .

and took the wood to his Grandpa

for the stove out in

his barn.



Before he left he 

gave me a huge and said,

if I need any more help

to call him and if I don't

he'll be mad.

I am truly blessed.

Thanks so much for visiting

and 

please leave a comment if you

have the time.

I love reading them. 




God Bless You!

Flowers and Birthdays

 


Hello Dear Friends


It's been a very busy

few weeks . . .

Lots of gardening, home repair,

great times with friends & family

and one birthday after another.





I've been picking and enjoying

cut flowers from the garden.




The greenery in this bouquet

is Dill Weed and Carrot Stems. 





These lovely Dahlias

are not from my garden,

but a gift from a dear friend

from her garden,

for my birthday. 





These beautiful cards are just 

some of what I received.

See the one with my glorious age

on it . . . that one is handmade

by Connie at Connie's Crafty Creations 

https://conniescraftycreations.blogspot.com/

She makes lovely handmade greeting cards.





These two cakes I baked for 

friend's having birthdays . . .




And this was my 

Birthday Day cake made by my 

Sweet Sister-In-Law.

She knew that I couldn't eat

cake . . .I can bake them,

but not eat them, LOL.

It was beautiful

and very delicious :) 


💡💡💡💡💡

To change the subject . . .

I had this idea "💡"

I made a selfie video on 

my android phone 

and tried to download it

to put into this post.

I'm at a lost when it comes

to technology.

Do any of you know how to do this?

I sure could use some help 🫤


That's my post,

Thanks so much for visiting.

God bless you all.

I'll be looking forward 

to reading your comments.  

Keep Smiling,

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

Butterflies In Flight




 I was scrolling through YouTube 

the other day and found this 

intriguing pop-up card.




I hope I did justice to this design.





It's quite complicated, for me anyway. 

But I watched the video, stopped it 




and rewound it many times 




while going through the steps.




The artist name is Sarah Trebilcock

and I'm putting the link here 

to her video on YouTube.

Just in case any of you want to try 

making it.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Have fun!!!

And God bless you all. 

You're blogging sister, 

Connie :)
