What a beautiful weekend!

I took this picture this afternoon in our backyard!  This weekend has been gorgeous!  There is a nice breeze filtering through the trees, the sky is Carolina Blue, the sun is shining and the humidity is almost non-existent!!  What a truly lovely day in Mint Hill!  I hope your weekend is just as beautiful!

Painted the Front Door and New Color!

Well I decided the front door was just too blah!  I wanted to paint it a color that would "pop".  I chose Valspar's Ancient Burgundy.  It turned out so pretty.  Now I think I'll paint the 2 sets of shutters on the second floor the same color.  I am really happy with the way the door turned out. 

What a really crazy week!!

This week has been a busy one!  I was offered a job by a company that has offered me a job with them 3 times.  This time it was too good to pass up, so I took it!  I will be an office manager/construction administrator for a high-end residential builder who also does commercial framing and siding.  My boss also just opened up a millwork company!  Very ambitious!  Can't wait to start working there on 9/29!

Gave notice at my present job.  Very nerve wracking for sure!!  Glad that is done!

John has been home all week with pneumonia.  I have been doing my chores and his (including mowing the front lawn on Sunday).  So glad today the Dr. told him he doesn't have pneumonia anymore and that he can go back to work on Monday.

I really think that is enough for this week!   Tomorrow I will painting my front door a beautiful burgundy color!  I also want to make a nice Autumn wreath for the door.  Megan told me she would help me create one!  I got some lovely ideas on pinterest!

The rest of the weekend will be resting up from this crazy week!  What do y'all have planned?

Autumn is on it's Way!!

You wouldn't know it today due to the heat we experienced in Charlotte  (100 degrees) but there are signs that Autumn is on its way!  I do enjoy this time of year.  Not only for the cooler weather but the leaves changing, apples are abundant, pumpkins start arriving at Farmer's Markets, etc., etc.  This weekend I made the first apple crisp of the season!  I love the smell of cinnamon wafting through the house while the crisp cooks in the oven.  I will have to get some mums for the urns out front soon.  I sprayed the urns a shiny black this spring, so the mums will look beautiful in them.  The squirrels have also been gathering nuts for their winter storage.

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!
