Sometimes later becomes never. Do it now.

Hello!

This will probably be picture heavy!
I really need to be on here more!

Kalen just left for his next 10  on 10 off!
We got a lot accomplished!
He also planted a bunch of seedlings, made different types of compost, tried to fix a hydrant in the back 40. Water is off to the back, it will have to wait for his next days off!

We got snow & cold on the darn weekend!
I have turned into a wuss! It's too early!
I have joined Tai Chi!
I love it!
I leave work early on Wednesdays!
I tried to get mom to join, as it's good for balance etc.
She wouldn't! 

Kalen's Halloween card.

 Vanessa & Harley's card.

Mom got one I made last fall when I went to the scrapbook retreat!

My aunt makes quilts for people with cancer.
I make her cards to include. They're blank on the inside.
I got some new quilt dies, so should have a ton whipped up in a short time!

We'll start with 4 because she likes Christmas cards that say Merry Christmas, and she says you can't buy them.
Making her some Christmas cards is next on the list!

We had a big windstorm that knocked the walnuts out of the tree.

Then the leaves fell off, and I played a game similar to where's Waldo!

Haha!
Of course ALL the leaves didn't fall off, I had to do this twice!
Only because it kept raining, and the walnuts were trying to get moldy under the leaves!

But anyhoo, the yardwork is slowly getting done.
It was a lot warmer this time last year! 

I am happy to report that the sump pump has been installed, and I am loving turning up the thermostat for heat!
Washer & dryer are working fabulously in the basement!

We wrapped the cedars one chilly afternoon.
The deer will have to eat someone else's this winter!

I guess you can't really see it!
It's a plastic mesh that's 7 ft tall, the deer can't get their noses in.
We had 4 different sections to wrap! 

I'd better go.
Kalen left this morning so bedding needs washed, and my floors really need a vacuum & wash! 

Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!

Hello!

I really should be doing a million little things.

I am, however, learning to relax take things slower.
So far today, I've did dishes, made pie dough, cleaned the back house (which is permitted for a shop).
Hauled some books to shelves, rearranged the stuff on the counter tops, cleaned the pantry....... 

What I should be doing, is cutting insulation for the basement, and/or picking up the walnuts, and finishing the windows on the outside!
The walnuts are going to win, as I gave away all the walnuts I had and they're pretty costly in the store!
I AM going to make my famous double layer pumpkin pie sometime today! The pie dough is for apple pies, tomorrow, or Monday.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 
Mom and I have a reservation for tomorrow at the golf course!
I've never ate there, and they're having a Thanksgiving buffet.  
I figured it would be cheaper than me cooking the full meal deal for me and mom!

The washer & dryer got  into the basement a week ago yesterday!
By the time the washer was done the first load, I had the dryer hooked up!
My sewer stack was plugged.
No one knows for how long. It was plugged 4-6 feet up the stack!
What should have been a 2-3 hour job for the poor plumber, turned into an all day event!

Garage electrical is safe! The lights I got look amazing!
We should be able to play cards outside now, after dark!

Kalen was home for about 2 weeks between his summer job, and his winter job!
One day he said, 'There's a lot of work to do here!'
I said, 'I know!' 
He left Thursday to start his 10 on, 10 off.
He should be here for 8 days at a time! 

Waiting for my sump pump to be hooked up so I can use my furnace that was installed in July!
Garage door guy was here, and that's it for projects this year!

I think we only have a deck, and front step for me on the list for next year!

I made this dumpling a Birthday card!
Hard to believe he will be 3 in a couple weeks!

He's holding his package of tattoos, and a frog book mark I sent!
He loves books! 
He was also real excited about the 'John Deere' tractor on the card. I found the card on Pinterest.
I asked him if his mom read him the letter, and did he know what it said.
He said, "Bryson David I love you. Love gramma Gail!"
I said, that's exactly what it said!

He also requested his Halloween card have a spider on it, so I did my best!
Made a side step card.

That's all I got!
It's been really chilly this October!
I have not got the inside of my vehicle cleaned! 
I did it last year when I moved here!

I am trying to get around to read your blogs!

Thanks for being here!

Hope you're all well!
Talk to ya later!
