Fall Has Been Wonderful!!

 Hi Everyone!  I know, I know it has been a while!  There has been alot going on.  


Well things here have been so busy, not with just work.  I went for my CT Scan and my lymph node that is near my spine got larger over the 3 months since my PET Scan.  So it looks like Chemo is in my future at the first of the year.  Not happy about that but there is nothing I can do but do what my oncologist says.  


I started dating someone in October.  We are taking it slow, so I'm not going to say too much about him here.  I will say we get along very well!


Work has been so busy and alot is going on with the holidays coming.  I will be working in Floral more than usual, which I love.  I work in Floral every Thursday now from 9-3.  I love my Thursdays over there!  Alot of creating and other things happen on that day.  Here are some of my creations:



I have basically put my gardens to bed for the year.  I planted some tulips and a peony for next year.  There are some things still blooming which is late for this time of year.

My camellia in the front garden bed is loaded with buds!  Can't wait for them to bloom!

My Jackmanni clematis is still blooming.  So pretty!

The last Mr. Lincoln rose for the season.  The scent of the rose filled up my whole house!

Niobe Clematis blooming in the front garden.  Love this color!!

Here are the tulips I planted from @petalpickers.com.

Winter pansies throwing some much needed color out front!

Fall has been really beautiful here!  I just love all the leaves in their full color.  



The last of my dahlias really were quite beautiful!  I had so many this year!  Just beautiful!!

I went to NJ for a quick 4 day trip for my Mom's 88th birthday.  It was good to see here and my sister, Sue and her husband, Chuck.  We went to St. Moritz Restaurant in Lake Mohawk, Sparta, NJ to celebrate Mom on her day!  It was so wonderful there.  I also met my childhood friend, Debbie for lunch on the 17th at a Mexican Restaurant in Lake Mohawk.  So nice, great visit!!

It really was a great visit!  My sister and I laughed so much, it felt so good to laugh like that!  She is a really good person and I enjoyed my time with her immensely!


I brought some flowers home from work and made all of these bouquets for around the house.


We had a cold snap.  One night it was only 37 degrees, so on came the little electric stove!  It was nice and toasty!


There is a pecan tree on the property line in the back yard of my house.  I have taken advantage of collecting them.  I now have 2 full to the top bowls of pecans.  All I have to do is crack them now!


This is another arrangement I made at home from work flowers.  I love this color roses.  So gorgeous!!


We have had some really stormy looking skies but some really beautiful sunsets and sunrises.  I did see the Northern Lights though.  Sorry I missed that!  Nature is just amazing!!


Well that is about all I have friends for now!  I know that was alot to cram into one post.  I wanted to update you all on my life adventures and going ons!  If I don't get back on here (sometimes it is hard with work and my normal life things) I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!  Everyone take care!
