Week Two HGP 9/4 Living Room & "Questions" We

[CheeryChick]

I am going to work on the living room this afternoon. I picked up some mini pumpkins and gourds from the grocery store on Thursday, and got some mums for the front porch today. I am going to put away my summer decor and put up my fall things in the living room.

This morning I visited a local apple orchard that was having their annual "Fall Fest." I got a gallon of cider and some cider doughnuts to bring home. This next Thursday, the nighttime temperature is going to dip down to 37 degrees. It's starting to look -- and feel -- like fall around here!

Aggy-good friends and great conversation are not to be taken lightly. I'd have passed on the cleaning, too, for that opportunity.

I am planning on making another one of those fall candle holder wreaths that we made a few years ago...my other one had to be thrown away it was so faded and nasty. I will send you a picture when I get it done. I'm going to hang it over the dining table on the back porch. I might make one for our bathroom, too to hang over the tub.

Busy, busy bees!!

I jumped tracks today. Got involved in sorting and organizing scrapbooking supplies. All my Christmas stuff is hiding some where. Or one of the elves stole it. lol

Another full day on the window restoration today.
Hoping to start another full day tomorrow - need to sand and prime tomorrow, if all goes as planned.

Must hurry. How many days before it is too cold for paint?
