A day filled with friends, great food and laughter. I managed to get a good start on my Christmas scarf too.

Home for a few hours to run some errands and do final prep for Sunday’s delivery to the Blessing Box at the college. I baked 5 little chocolate cakes and this time I added sprinkles. I created some tlc cold bags to include. A friend sent me Advil and cough drops. Cards to add too.

A day at home to putter around. It was a busy week. Tree number twin the pipe cleaners forest…a rainbow tree. Simple pleasure for sure.

Line dancing class, grocery shopping and a card making class today. I was done early and got to make a second card. Yes, I make lots of cards, these cards aren’t my usual style. It’s just fun to be out doing crafty things with others now and then.

Fall outside clean up. Halloween put away. Perennials trimmed and annual pots emptied. Plant stands, rug and summer fun stuff stored for winter. The back deck looked so sad. An emergency trip to buy pansies and violas. Much better. Blooms from a mum gifted from last year. ⭐️

It’s been a very tough day. I’m house/dog sitting and I brought along a Lego ornament kit it helped a little. Love those who matter 💔

Today’s gratitude…an afternoon of knitting. I finished a baby sweater and a scarf. I then totally frogged a mostly done hat. I was just not loving it one bit. The yarn is now in a time out until further notice.

Handing out non-candy treasures at the museum today. Some adorable first time trick or treaters. One day they will ask their parents “who is that lady in the picture with me?” Thankfully no one dropped a house in me. I did have the correct socks.

I repotted the indoor plants that have enjoyed summer on the front porch. They’re back inside the house. They may move to different spots. I mowed the backyard and mulched the leaves at the same time. Rest of the day feet up and knitting with the really good yarn.

I’ve suspected for a while that a cat has been sleeping on one of my front porch chairs. Caught on the security camera the past two nights. I might have bought some kitty treats for my porch kitty today. Ella is definitely not a cat lover. But porch snoozing is ok.

Another fairy house made today. It started out as a Christmas house in my mind but turned into a winter scene. Doing my best to find my joy.

A march and a rally today…someone had a boom box and a protest playlist. I’m worn out today but so proud to be in the middle of a very peaceful protest. They also collected supplies for a local food bank. It was definitely a win/win.

New art at the museum today. The doors just opened on this new display. I was absolutely giddy seeing these beautiful pieces. Post museum tour at the yarn shop just a few blocks away. 💯 the really good stuff. I haven’t been in a LYS since moving to SC. I’ll definitely be back.

A productive day of card making and dropping 9 boxes of cookies at UPS. I even tucked some cookies in the mailbox for my mailman. My life is filled with abundance and that’s meant is meant to be shared. Charity scarf on the needles tonight. Number 21 I think for 2025.

I may have baked enough Halloween cookies. Tomorrow I will do packing and mailing. Lunch out with friends and Thanksgiving cards made. I have the envelopes addressed. A big part of them are active duty military in the US. Those can wait a bit to mail.

I found a bag of Halloween fantasy chips and sprinkles for my world famous chocolate chip cookies. Only 8 oz but I added some more chips and mini chips. Then to make it even more fun I added eyes and smiles. Cookies and kindness.

Pine needles raked (again.) I mowed my small side yards and front yard. Last time this year?. It didn’t take long but not my favorite yard project. My Christmas poinsettia from last year is in the moving into the dark closet part of the year. I think he/she needs a name.
