Owen's introduction to the original Halloween movie,   we changed the channel...... he told me this morning that he hopes he doesn't see 'Michael' trick or treating tonight

A delicious Honeycrisp apple

Preparing the pumpkins

We are enjoying the month of October and it sure has gone fast-  soon it will be November and then the holidays!!!    Below the kids were running in the rain- you can kind of see the large raindrops!!!

 Hello from the state of the sun.........      we had a little tease of cooler weather a couple of weeks ago, and then it was warm again....  highs in the upper 90's and a/c back on    

We are getting ready for Halloween- we have costumes ready,   we just bought some pumpkins and plan to go to The Farm for their festivities this next weekend.   This week, though, they say by Wednesday the temps will be in the 80s and 70s as highs, just where we like it.  I am happy to wait until then to go to the pumpkin patch....

We went to the Farmers market today and Rob bought some Serrano pepper jelly.....  we tried the pomegranite,  apple butter, and "wine grape" jelly. They all were good- Rob was more daring, he tried the serrano pepper, jabenero and also the jalepeno pepper jelly - he then decided on the Serrano pepper-   he will get to enjoy that all by himself!! hee hee!   I have never had apple butter, it was pretty good and the man selling the jams said you can put it in oatmeal???


The kids got a pumpkin scone and blueberry muffin and I bought a bag of mini red, orange and yellow sweet peppers to put in my salads this week and have them with hummus.  I love the tomato basil hummus from Trader Joes- it is delish!


I love Sundays .... they are our "veg" days..... reading the paper, coffee,  (football) although, J yesterday was asking to "watch college football"!!!   I have been working on my scrapbooks photos organizing and it has been fun looking the kids pics when they were babies-  Where has the time gone????

Enjoy these recent pics......

I Love Autumn!!!!

 I love Autumn we have had busy weekends with  birthdays, festivals and Fall decorating!!!!!

The weather is awesome now.......  we have opened up, the air is off and we are enjoying the cool temps.    I love having the windows open and I have the blinds cracked at night. I have been going to sleep with the moonlight shining in since we have had a full moon recently, it has been quite peaceful!     

This weather is so nice, it makes me want to get outside, and get back to taking some pics.   It going to be hiking time for me and I am going to be planting some flowers in the backyard planters.  Tonight someone had a fire pit burning, it reminded me of camping.........Rob is now wanting one for the backyard

we have some little friends in the backyard- they move fast, but I was able to catch one and take its pic...... the boys like to ask me if I want to go "lizard hunting" !!!
