October Happenings

October.

My favorite month. 

Even when I lived in the Nevada desert I loved October. 

It's when things started to cool down from the hot summers. 

Now, even more than ever,  I love this season/month! 

This year, I made an autumn wreath for our front door. 

I am REALLY excited about decorating for fall. 

Even two of our cats fit into the colors of fall. 

There's been a lot of squirrel watching lately, 

...and bird watching, 

when it's not nap time.

...and burning beeswax candles and incense 

when it's damp and rainy outside. 

Even though today was beautiful and sunny, you can just feel it in the air 

that the colder, rainy weather is just around the corner. 

I hear that November is the wettest month around these parts. 

So, until then, I shall soak up the sun and play in the dirt 

when I have the opportunity. 

This is my neighbor and friend, Stephanie.

She lives across the street and 

 always looks so cute when she works in her garden.

Isn't her hat adorable?  

I looked at it more closely, and even though it's straw like material, 

it's crocheted!  

Those flowers are triple crocheted clusters!  

 Yes...I'm STILL crocheting...

working on a gift for a friend. 

However, I did break out the embroidery thread for a change too...

I'll tell you more about that later. 

Until then, 

I hope you are enjoying October so far. 

Have you started decorating yet?
