These are a few of my favorite things

I have a small collection of the white, knobby, glass vanity lamps that I love.  You can also see the old pillowcase edge that I saved and My camper key.

and the rain came down

I woke to the sound of something unusual.  What was it?  I knew I had heard it before, but could quite make it out since it was so long ago and came very lightly.  

Oh, it's got louder.  Now I knew .... this sound was a reason to go back to sleep.  It was a sound of happy flowers and lettuce.  It was RAIN.  Very softly, then getting stronger.  I

It came and went all day, into the night and again the next day.  It was an inconvenience, but a much awaited one.  

Now it feels like "FALL" is here.  I actually have to stay in, not because I have something to do, but there's not much to get into on a day like this.

Do you like to read?

Since I have so much spare time, NOT, I try to keep a book around, just in case.  Sometimes if I time my moments just right, it happens.  I get a few minutes before I fall asleep to read and relax.  Do any of you like to read?  What do you enjoy?  I'm not into the romance stuff, like most women I know.  Usually, a light historical fiction about the pioneer women that we came from encourages me.  

A GREAT read

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!!!
Couldn't find anything a the library this trip so I grabbed this.  Saved it for the boring evenings, but OH, MY GOSH....

Getting ready for the holiday season

Well, I brought October to a close with as much Fall harvest as I had time for.  Cabbage, ham, cornbread and pumpkin cake.  Now it's time to get ready for Thankgiving.  My second favorite holiday of the year.  I used to love November because it was my birthday month, but now I just love it for all the feelings it brings to mind.  I love traditions, though, I'm not good at getting my little family to join anything, but the food part.  What traditions do you hold near?  Do the memories make you laugh or just sit and wonder.  I'd love to know what you do!

HELP!!!

I'm having so much fun blogging, I want to do it all.  I just can't figure out how to add a button".  You have all been so encouraging and helpful.  I think I got the picture thing, just needs alittle tweeking.
