Walk

pleasant Octoberings

(a few colorful bits of our days)

growing girl :: a yummy autumnal meal :: wood-hauling weekend with much help (my man's family is the best!) :: much canning (also with helpers) :: indoor coziness :: snow! :: my great new purse from Ana (!!)


Among things not shown: painting our basement, cleaning out corners before winter, family shopping trips, going to favorite restaurants with even favoriter people, a faraway friend, Miss A., come to visit, laundry folding, winterizing our yard, lots of rain, the first frost, picking apples, my shiny new pressure canner, new winter coats, new purple little-girl snowboots and pink snow mittens...

Apparently it's not safe to take me to the hardware store anymore. :) This time I found a paint called "Granny Smith", and it was perfect for the back stairs. Monday morning, on it went. I love it. (Thanks, Man.)
