Good Morning Everyone! Well Fall is definitely here, the temps are colder, the garden is done for the year, some of the birds have migrated away from here and it just feels like a good time to light up the fireplace and enjoy knitting, drinking tea and relaxing. I actually love this time of year just as much as see my garden sprout up from it's winter nap. After working hard in the garden all Spring and Summer, I enjoy a short reprieve from watering, weeding and just maintaining my beautiful flowers. I took a photo of my last hydrangeas for the season and my rose-Tahitian Sunset:
The other day I got out the bulbs I ordered from Dutch Grown and planted them in the planter in the backyard. I planted 40 tulips and 10 daffodils.
Spring will bring some beautiful tulips and daffodils if the squirrels leave them alone. I planted different colors and varieties than I have planted other years. Should be beautiful!
I have ordered some Christmas presents, since Christmas is next month! I cannot believe it is almost Thanksgiving with Christmas right behind it. I had to tell Steve about one of his presents because he had to pick out which one he wanted. I thought since he loves to sing, why not give him a guitar. We went last week and got him one and he already is playing some songs!
I don't have alot of gifts to get and I do have to mail my sisters and my Mom's, so I thought why not get ahead of the game for a change!
The other day I bought a 20lb. turkey for our Thanksgiving feast. Steve's family will be coming, so there will be maybe around 24 people coming. My sister in law is making another turkey, an apple pie and some sides and my step daughter is making a ham and potato salad. I'll be cooking the 20 lb. turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and another pie not sure which kind yet. Should be a fun time!
I want to wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving if for some reason I don't get back on here.
Have a great day!
Sherri
