A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve. -Joseph Joubert

SIGH....
My attempts to keep in touch with you at least once a week have failed miserably!

I did get the cards made and sent to SAS4K's Canada. Halloween, Birthday, Thinking of You, and a few Christmas.

Here are a few more Halloween cards.




I got my van back, on Wednesday (finally). I should be good for another 50,000 kms!
I'm hoping for more, cause I'll be paying once the warranty is off!
I've cleaned, puttered, put things away, got things out.......

Made my Happy Thanksgiving cards for mom & the kids.


Had a lovely time by the fire last night, yeah there's a fire ban on, cause it's so hot & dry, but we were real careful, and had water sitting near by!
Had friends that were passing through to go dig potatoes up north today!
They come a LONG way for spuds; I was happy to see them!
There's a fire ban on AGAIN, remember this post?
You know, the one in French!? hahaha
Well, the fire.......it's BAAAAAACCKK!

I've been getting up before breakfast and going to work........banking some time for next month!

I actually got up late this morning, cause were were outside at the fire pit until waaaayyy after midnight!
It was beautiful, and so many stars!

Already though, a load of laundry is waiting to be hung out, I brought the tomatoes in out of the freezer to make more salsa later, found my rubber gloves to chop up the peppers; believe me, I've learned! The beans are soaking for the salsa........
I'm going to repot some plants, put my board I cut & painted on the piece of furniture in the craft room that needs it, and do all the regular stuff that gets done on weekends!
I've had breakfast, finished the 8th scarf (one more to go);
I've played my turns in Words With Friends on Facebook, read blogs, I need one more cup of coffee, and I think I'm good to go!

Here's a couple pictures of the leaves on the trees!

This is when I take the road home from the south!

 
It really doesn't look that bumpy IRL!
 
And here's part of the backyard!
The fire pit is to the left!
 
 
Have a good weekend everyone!
I'll stop by and see you when I have a minute!
 
Keep out of trouble, and I hope you're all well!
 
Ta ta for now!

Great cards. Love the scenery. Fall is really the BEST season (for me).
It would have been great to sit at the pit with you. I love and miss that sort of thing.

I love your cards - they are all precious! I would have loved to join you at the pit - sounds lovely, especially the watching the stars part. I keep my fingers crossed for your van to last another 100,000 km! Minimum!
