I'd love a weekend off!
Seriously!

I watched the sun come up yesterday.....nothing spectacular, except for the sun on the trees!

Then it got cloudy; so I started washing windows.
Got 6 done inside & out, and 3 more outsides. Just 3 more to go, and they're the biggest!
Here are the helpers on the deck.

Hahahaha!

This is my kitchen window.....

right after the public area windows were washed this spring, some over zealous bird crapped on it!

I've looked at that all summer!

Never mind....I'm a hurtin unit from hauling the ladder around....don't wanna do THAT more than I have to!

It's an awesome ladder though, you can go up either side...sturdy, only too big (8 ft.) & unwieldly!

Need about a 6 foot ladder!

Here's the after picture!

Which then led to the make work stuff!
I washed the drapes in the M bedroom.
Then did the valance, rug & shower curtain in the M bath!
Between yesterday & today, I've done about 6 loads of laundry; and had to have a redo of the towels cause the washer was still on delicate! YOI!

I tried out the rice cooker Vanessa & Shawn gave me last weekend.
I had cinnamon tinged Basmati Rice, and was going to cook a smokie over the fire, but was too tired!
How does that rice cooker know when the rice is cooked? hmmmmmm? It wasn't sticky or anything!
I was outside last night drinking beer by the fire pit, when a flock of cranes flew over.

Usually you can hear them and they're so high up you can't see them, and yes; they are headed south!

I was up at 5 am this morning....Gawd, I don't know why!

I did finish this little photo album though.

As Bonnie said, "Just do it girl!"

Here goes.

Originally; I wanted it to fit in this film canister I scored!

This last picture is in acrylic, cause it's on the back!

I don't want it to scratch.

Here's the finished product!

And of course it doesn't fit in the canister!

I'd have to use about 4 CD's and have no embellishments!

Hope I did ya proud Bonnie!

I'm going to take it to my mom, so she can brag....don't worry,

I'm trading mom for her pictures that are the same!

Now hopefully Bonnie forgives me for this next picture!

A Halloween card I made this week!

I'm really hating not liking that Glimmer Mist in red!

Looks like I killed somebody, and I was going for a fine mist!?

I got the card inspiration here!

The haunted house was a $1.50 in the bin at Michaels.

Got muffins in the oven for lunch for work, gonna throw the last load of laundry in the dryer...hey, I hung the other stuff out, and go have a nap!

That's the plan anyhoo!

Have a great week people!

Ta ta for now!

Alrighty!
Life's sure got in the way this past week!
I went to GP on Friday, and when I got to Vanessa's, I said, "You have a plant!"
She said, "It's for you."
Isn't it great!

Vanessa cooked supper!

We had a wonderful lasagne......

Followed by awesome apple pie!

I did buy her a trivet before I left on Saturday!

We watched movies with her friends!

We watched RIO, and Something Borrowed.

I've found out that Vanessa is a lurker...Hi Honey!

Just so ya know, the next 2 pictures, are spiders!

She has a phobia!

I made a card last week before I left.

Then I bought a few treasures, & changed it up!

Much better I think!
It was inspired by Curt's card; here. Which in turn inspired this card, I tell ya, it's a vicious circle!
But it's all good!

Saw a deer on the way to work one day.

I knocked down another tree....no troubles this time!
Had to drop it before Ray turned it into a production!
I'm going to see how long it takes for him to notice it's gone!
It was a leaner, and I said, "Why don't you knock that tree down, before it's big enough to fall on the house when it blows down?"
Ray, "It'll hit the gardens."
Well......it didn't!

There's the gardens on the left, and I dropped the tree on the right! About 30 feet away I say!

Here's the after I cleaned it up picture.

You can just see the stump in the middle of the picture!

Here's my audience while I put the cut up tree in the woodshed!

Such a big help!

I'll tackle the other trees on the weekend.

It's supposed to be really nice out starting tomorrow!

Here's the tomato crop!

There's only about 1/2 of what we usually get! Good thing I have salsa left from last year!

Here's the other 2 babies that are hanging out!
I haven't seen their mom for quite a while!

One orange one, and one grey one!

I got Shadow a heated dog bed....not what I thought; it was pretty expensive, and I think I'll have to crawl in the dog house & sit on it when it's 40 below to see if it works!
I also put a door on her house, and so far she's left it up!

I really hate intensly dislike September!
All my meetings start up, I've had one every week for the last 3, and have 2 next week.
One is stamp club, so that'll be fun!

The O/S is on a cruise right now.
He asked when I wanted to come visit, and then asked if we could meet at G-ma's!
Someone misses his grandma!
So instead of going to beautiful Victoria, B.C., I might be making another trip to my mommy's!
I told him to think about the weather, cause I'd be driving, so he said he'd call with a plan this weekend!

Better go, hope you're all having a great week!

Ta ta for now!
