{Full disclosure ~ bit of a busy week, so this is a few days of answers mashed together 😅}

FOR TODAY~
Outside my window…🍁 it has been simply gorgeous! Breezy, cool, yet sunny and warm midday!

I am thinking…🍁 about so many things, Scriptures I’m reading, writing deadlines, a nature outing, relationships, and of course, what to make for dinner! 😅

I am thankful for…🍁 two local friends and our little book club! 🥰 The foliage and weather has been sublime! I’m in heaven with the sound of the rustling, golden corn fields!

From the kitchen…🍁 we tried these this week and they were GOOD, one of my children had stomach aches with too much flour.

I am creating…🍁 articles/collages for my writing project, attempting October daily blog posts (already welched this week! 🤣), have a backlog of pen pal letters to respond to, still want to make a wreath of the eucalyptus from my daughter’s wedding for her, need to begin Christmas crafting, want to keep poem momentum, reading journal, church girls group lessons, homeschool group lessons etc. 😁 You get the drift.

I am going…🍁 on a nature outing with some of my kids and friends! Very excited! ♥️

I am wearing…🍁 it’s a bit chilly, so green stocking hat, green tennis shoes, green pants?, green flannel shirt, and jean jacket? 😅🍏🌿🌳💚

I am reading…🍁I talk exhaustively here on the ‘ole blog about what I’m reading, but here ya go! 😉 Victober is still prominent! I’m slowly listening to The Pickwick Papers. I finished Uncle Silas and while I liked parts of it, it wasn’t a new favorite. I started My Lady Ludlow, the only longer Elizabeth Gaskell I haven’t read! I’m relistening to The Canterville Ghost because it’s another funny Oscar Wilde that I really enjoyed in the past. I’m actively reading another in a cozy mystery series, too. The kids and I just finished The Horse and His Boy and it was so good! 😊

I am hoping…🍁 to make a dent in some of those above creative projects later today or tomorrow and to take a walk!

I am hearing…🍁 my 17yo cleaning kitchen and chatting with my 7 yo. Birds chirping and my fan whirring. 🥹♥️

Around the house…🍁 my big porch purge is still staring at me with beady eyes. 👀

One of my favorite things…🍁 anticipating an upcoming women’s retreat with my sister. 🥰♥️

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week…🍁 everything I said above! Possible coffee with my mom! I need to figure out how to wrangle all my family here at home to use a free pass we were given for a local attraction!? 🤔😂 It’s hard to get our schedules to align!

Here is a picture thought (or two) I am sharing for you…
