I finally did it!!

Here is my pride and joy. After having lived in this house for almost 5 years, yes, I said 5 years I finally got a pumpkin. Isn't he a cutie? I love how round he is and just the right color orange.


He had been hiding, then one day there he was. As I was checking out my other pumpkin plants I noticed there were more than just him. He had relatives. About 13 to be exact.

We had fun picking them on the day it rained and was cold out. It felt like pumpkin time. So we cut them off the vine and set them out. I am so happy we grew our own. Next year I hope we get a lot more. This was too much fun.

I am going to miss you!!

I do truly love fall, except for the fact that in just a few short months I won't have my flowers greeting me in the morning. I am going to miss their individual personalities. And fragrances.

They make me happy. And I enjoy all the hard work they may take. So for now I say "Adeau" and look forward to your speedy return in the spring.

Happy B-day Brent

Yesterday was Brents B-day.... It was a great day. Because we get to celebrate Brent. He is the kindest, most giving and wonderful person I know. He provides for his family and he works hard at all he does. He is a handy man, machanic, teacher, electrician, plumber, yard and garden man, he is my yard sale companion, he is my cheauffer, he is MY BEST FRIEND.




















He makes me laugh , teases me like crazy and helps me when I have a problem and he loves his kids more than they will ever know. He is a loyal person. And I love him!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT !! Hope your day was terrific.
Love,
Angi

I love the GREAT OUTDOORS!!

For the Holiday weekend we went to my honey's family cabin. On the drive up I thought I would take some pictures. Well nothing to really get excited over until we saw a man taking some pictures of something and we pulled over and it was a moose. Now this makes the whole trip worth while. You see for me the moose is thee greatest animal alive. I LOVE them. And not only did I see the one at the side of the road, but as we were walking along the path around the lake look who jumped right out in front of us.

He scared me to death. I think he thought it was funny. He let us take a bunch of pictures. Then he said "Goodbye" and left.

What a thrill that was for me. My kids thought it was pretty great too. Which was surprising because they don't get too excited about much. They even let me take their picture.

Minus 1 though. He would not even act like he had a family up there because he wanted to hang with cousins. Fine by me, at least he was enjoying the outdoors.

This trip was a lot of fun for everyone who went. We played cards, ate, read, napped, ate, talked, watched it rain, laughed, ate some more and just enjoyed each other. I am grateful for the time we had together.
