please click to enlarge - Noticed the morning sun making silhouettes with the lilac bush.
- Enjoyed the fall colors from the front door.
- Set out the Halloween candy for the trick-or-treat kids.
- Put new flannel sheets on our bed. It's been getting down into the 30's at night! Sams Club had sheets, grey with gold accents, just like our room!
- Used some pumpkin puree from the garden to make pumpkin bread. It's still in the oven as I write this post. Yum.
- Smiled at two of my cats rolling on our neighbor's warm, sun-soaked driveway.
- Assembled a new hamper sorter and put it where the upright freezer used to be. Took me an hour. ha. The instructions were weird. Ever have that happen? But it finally came together.
- Picked up my Invisaligns at the orthodontist. I've always had a slight overbite and then over the last 2 years have watched several of my teeth begin to overlap each other. Turns out my teeth grinding at night is moving my teeth! In 16 months, they will be completely straight and better than before. Can you see the braces? No? Well, that's because they're invisible. lol. I'm so impressed, really, at the whole process.
- Enjoyed the drive to run errands today. Fall is just gorgeous!
- Picked even more green peppers and tomatoes from the garden. They just don't want to stop! I've canned lots of salsa and soup. Yum.
Just a lovely, ordinary day!
I hope your day is going well!
♥
I haven't even bought Halloween candy yet...if I put it out now, I'd eat it all before Halloween!
ReplyDeleteKathy ~ well, I DID have to sample each kind...lol...
ReplyDeleteWhew! You do a lot during your day.
ReplyDeleteInvisible braces? Now that's cool.
Look at your bumper crop of veg and sweets! Yay!!
ReplyDeletep.s. I've never heard of pumpkin bread - sounds yummy! Take care
x
Yum on the pumpkin bread and congrats of your braces. That's exciting for you, I am sure!
ReplyDeleteYOUR DAY IS BRIGHT AND SUNNY LOL
ReplyDeleteYour pictures very uplifting and mine are gloomy and dull trying to express wickedness and evil and huantiness preparing for the great witchy night. lol I have even been trying to read some spooky seer stories about ghosts but too long to make a blog on.
They have halloween but no saints day where we can show airy lightness fairies angels princesses knights dancers singers etc....
We should have a day like this to celebrate and have children walk house to house decorated in splendor to collect sweets or whatever from. Anyway.
nice grab those veggies now...the cold is coming...and they will make a nice counterbalance to all that candy...smiles.
ReplyDeleteKitties look like they are having fun
ReplyDeleteRolling around in the sun
An invisible metal mouth you say
Hmm that could make for some fun rhyme play..haha
Admit it you just save all your stuff for wednesday
So you can look busy your way..hahaha
Yeah screw that instruction thing
I take one look and give it a fling
Pat
ReplyDeleteWell, I have all day to do what I do
No sitting at a desk pretending to work like you
But you get a paycheck while I work for free
Gee, that doesn't seem fair to me!
lol...
Awwww. What a gorgeous smile. I don't care if it's the "Before" or the "After" shot, haha!
ReplyDeleteAnd what gorgeous, rosy cheeks!
ReplyDeleteSilver ~ hopefully next year it will be gorgeouser. If that isn't a word, I'm sure you'll tell me. :)
ReplyDeleteum...the cheeks will be the same next year. lol...
ReplyDelete"Gorgeuser?" Grammar Nazi sez: For you, milady, it is now!
ReplyDeleteAnd those cheeks are perfect as is. What a great pair! I could look at those every day & night.
ReplyDeleteYou spelled it wrong! ha.
ReplyDeleteSmartie.
ReplyDeleteSometimes my enthusiasm gets the best of me.
:)
ReplyDeleteNice to see your real face!
SH!
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to point out the Shh is spelled wrong, too. Careful or you'll loose that 'grammar nazi' status!
ReplyDeleteNow, that one's open to artistic license. The more "S"-es or "H"-es you use, the longer the "sh" sound. My "Sh!" was a short, sharp "warning," doll.
ReplyDeleteOr when you do laundry, do you "washh" your clothes?
ReplyDeleteNo, the machine does that! (ducks)
ReplyDeleteNo fair! You're at the top of your game, and I just woke up.
ReplyDeleteNice waking up to that photo of you, I must say, though....
Picture 10? You have got to be kidding. I have 5 green golf ball sized tomatos I hope ripen before the snow falls. They are my first and last of the season. I think you ARE Martha Stewart!
ReplyDeleteAnita ~ aw, you're just too far north! It's not me...we had a good hot summer for tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteyikes this reminds me i still have to get candy for our trick or treaters! go away and one's brain goes to mush!!
ReplyDeletei can't believe halloween is almost here!
I'm going to be in Atlanta on Halloween night ... leaving Carl with lots of goodies to hand out. Carl is a 'grinder' too which caused painful headaches, jaw pain, etc. He just had a customized guard made that he sleeps in. Miracle ~ no more pain or headaches.
ReplyDeleteHelen ~ good for Karl! They told me I won't be able to grind my teeth with my plates in...I wonder if I'll be able to sleep! ha. Have fun on your trip! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, of course you can't grind your teeth with plates in, silly! Even a coffee saucer would probably prevent it.
ReplyDeletehaha I no longer even pretend half the time
ReplyDeleteThey see me doing my rhyme chime
Then walk on by
Sure they bat an eye
But screw em I say
And look at Silver coming out with the "real me" today
I think it threw off his grammar naziness though
Maybe his face he should not show..haha
Yeah, I think he got flustered
ReplyDeletewhen he tried to bluster.
lol
@Pat: "Maybe his face he should not show.." I'll let Betsy field that one. She seems to like the new avatar.
ReplyDeletehaha...well, I said you should take of the shades instead of hiding behind them!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to see my eyes, you'll have to see 'em in person sometime. Who knows, maybe I might get a new nickname out of it.
ReplyDeleteI cup up a pie pumpkin to cook and make pies with this weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteIs going to stop raining here soon?
Martha ~ pumpkin pie...yum. That sounds so good, too! No rain here today..so yes! I think you will have dry skies tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Betsy yours candies for Halloween lok delicious, I see one of my favorites! lol
ReplyDeleteI have to buy some candies!oop Silver change the avatar again!
lol
Gloria ~ I think Silver changed it just for you! :)
ReplyDelete"Silver changed it" cuz someone said the last one made me look like I was in my 70s!
ReplyDeleteMartha ~ oops...I just looked outside and it's pouring!
ReplyDeleteI love this and the other avatar LOL
ReplyDeleteOh yes, a lovely day indeed. I love noticing morning light and pretty shadows.
ReplyDelete"My cats"? I do believe you all have adopted each other beautifully.
I'll bet your pantry is beautifully full with garden bounty.
You do these thought collages so well!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter had great success with Invisilines, Betsy. She had spaces in her front teeth and they are now in perfect alignment.
Sounds like a rewarding day.;) Must be nice with invisible braces.;)
ReplyDeleteLove all your images and so lucky you are with all the fall produce.;))
xoxo
Love your journey!! Great photos too!!
ReplyDeletePumpkin bread? Yummm! I will be right over
Hugs
SueAnn
You have the habit of making the ordinary seems extraordinary : it is not a habit, come to think of it, it is a gift.
ReplyDeleteFlannel sheets are nice during the winter months. I like the pattern.
ReplyDeleteI would eat all the candy if it was within my sight, so until that night it will stay hidden.
But what I noticed the most in what you wrote is that you say you "Smiled at two of "my" cats. It makes me think that those are four lucky kittens who had a mama cat smart enough to know which house to bring them.
Blessings go both ways.
God bless.
Mrs U ~ yes, they are mine...or I'm theirs. ha. I don't think they are leaving any time soon. :)
ReplyDeletePat ~ that's good to know! It's only been one day and I already can tell they have moved ever so slightly. :)
ReplyDeleteGood day Betsy! Where did you put your upright freezer? Garage?
ReplyDeleteWe will be visiting for Trick or Treat!
The braces are great.
jill ~ it went into my workroom just across the hall! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all your photos showing us what you did on Wednesday. Pretty sheets in the bedroom! They look so snuggly and warm.
ReplyDeleteYour peppers and tomatoes are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI made pumpkin muffins yesterday and I can't stop eating them/ha
Hi Betsy! I can believe your tomatoes still growing yum they look good.Invisible braces are the way to go now.Why not the big metal ones were awful.My youngest had to wear them,she always says if I have to again they are going to be invisible,lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a Happy Halloween,ours is tonight its raining not to good of a night for it.Blessings!
Oh and I do loveeeee Pumpkin Bread1
ReplyDeleteI bought our Halloween candy Tuesday and popped it in the freezer. Outta sight...outta mind. Well, kinda!!! Heeehehehe!
ReplyDeleteGod bless and have yourself a remarkable day sweeetie!!! :o)
We have one of those laundry sorters - it's the best thing since sliced bread for us :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE flannel sheets, but I would get too hot in them now. Darn hormones!
I think perhaps tomorrow will be dry?
ReplyDeleteWhat a harvest! I'm sitting waiting for the insides of the pumpkin to be available for my soup, while they carve the outside!
ReplyDeleteI bought Halloween candy, but realized last night if I don't stop eating one or two a day I'm going to have to go buy more!
ReplyDeletestevie ~ I did that one year! I was shocked when I realized that I finihed it off all by myself! lol...
