Once October starts, it seems like I'm not in as big of a hurry to get things done.  Even though the days are shorter and seem to start so much later.  

Coffee is always a necessity in our home but sometimes it is needed just to get up and get moving.  It is still too dark to get up!  

The squirrels are busy this time of year.  Most of them are after acorns and nuts.  These two are after apples.  Don't you love apples this time of year?  

Fall flowers are so beautiful.  There are so many different kinds of mums and colors available.  Have you ever dried your own flowers?  

Well this chick has flowers for you with lots of Fall Blessings & Hugs! 

Have a wonderful new October, Gayle!

She must follow her own path. 

And we must accept that, on her journey, 

we may not be the heroes destined to save her, 

but simply the guides meant to accompany her. 

To love her on her journey. 

That is the true price of friendship.

Cooler day today. Only in the low 70's. Never tried zuccini fries. Good idea with the burgers for the freezer. Making steak for dinner. It's the last thin sliced one I had in the freezer. Who knows how long the gov shutdown will last. The longer it goes, the worse things will get. Both parties are to blame. They should be smarter than that to let a shutdown happen.
