Pumpkins Out!

Pumpkins on the porch...

On the counter...

With the neutral, gnitted gnome...

Even in the creamer in my fridge!

Every fall, I have great plans to do pumpkin things...Jack-o-lanterns, puree, soups, roasted seeds...so I get a bi-i-i-i-ig pumpkin (or two, or three), and pop 'em onto the porch (sometimes with knitted friends) to greet people. 

Oftentimes, this is as far as I get before some critter starts nibbling on my gourd...

But this year? This year I've procured pumpkins a-plenty! If all goes according to the pumpkin plan, I'll be seeding and roasting the first one with hopes of pumpkin puree for all the recipes...YUMMM!

If my day goes sideways after blogging...well, there's always tomorrow. 

No. Wait. Tomorrow is for apple picking, and I can barely wait...what should I do with the apples, friends? 

Fall is a wonderfully busy time, and I hope you are finding fun, fall things to do with your family and friends. Maybe your life is full of Pumpkin Spice-y fun? Drop me a comment about what you're doing these days! 

When the sun goes down, it's the perfect time
of year for outdoor movies and snuggles!

According to Plan?

Do you ever feel like nothing is going according to your plans? As a recovering "type-A" personality, I often feel like everything around me is spinning out of  control. Like I'm not in charge of anything, and I really don't enjoy that feeling. 

Of course I know better. Of course I know that I am not in control of the universe (nor should I be, that's God's job). Of course I know that "Karma" is not out to get me, but sometimes life feels that way. 

For example, this pile of knitting in my lap today...

Just yesterday, it was a finished, washed and blocked sweater...

But it was wayyyyy too cropped for an overweight, 56-year-old gramma to wear out of the house! (Trust me. You do NOT want photo-evidence of that!) So, I've ripped out the hem to add a couple of inches, and I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the weekend, and I'm a little sad that I can't wear it yet. 

Will the re-finishing go according to my plan? Maybe, maybe not. 🤷‍♀️ But I made two-toned jello this morning, and that's something that did go according to plan! So, yay! Go, me! 

I hope things are going according to plan for you this week. If not, stop what you're doing for awhile and try something else. We all need a small, certain victory from time to time, especially when the big stuff doesn't go the way we expect it to. 

This is not a photo of something amazing,
but it's a pretty good pic. Small victory.
