happy october!

i really feel like i wake up in october.
especially this october 1st.
pouring rain all day and night yesterday, but muggy.
then we wake to cool, crisp and cloudy.
since i've been away for so long, i thought i'd share some photos from the day. we had lunch next door at the pizza place and then went to weaver's orchard with nana. it turned sunny and breezy. absolutely beautiful! we came home with quite a haul of apples for pies, pumpkins for pies, decorating and carving, apple cider doughnuts, apple fritters, broccoli and tomatoes, acorn and butternut squash. can you tell i love fall??? we have a birthday coming...(someone will be 8!) and an anniversary (11 years!) i will try to keep you posted. i'm hoping to get back into the swing of this blogging business. i miss it, actually!
hope you are having a wonderful first of october!

my day

• up early enough to shower, study my bible, and pray.



• made breakfast, set up school



• happily finished our 3rd week of 2nd grade



• had time to help a knitting friend fix her sock



• listened as stella took her first piano lesson with possibly the sweetest lady ever



• laughed as we burst through the door so that she could now practice what she just learned



• ate pb&j's with the kids



• cleaned it all up



• now, off to knit a bit, do some housekeeping, and wait to have a relaxing friday evening with chris

how is your day going? wishing you a happy friday!
