Good Morning My Friends,
So, October is here! I took a few days off from blogging and October snuck right in. The garden is definitely looking spent and I may have picked the last (or next to the last) zinnias. After a few days in the house they are looking weary as well, but still pretty.
They kind of blend right in with my Fall themed tablecloth.
Well, after successfully avoiding chores for a couple of weeks, Thursday found me jumping right into them. And, there was lots to do. Bathrooms were scrubbed, shower curtains washed, towels washed, sheets changed and sheets washed. You get the idea. And Friday morning found me back at it dealing with a very dirty kitchen floor. Luckily my massage booked for 10:30 Friday morning put an end to doing chores!
My massage was wonderful! Pure bliss. Mallory, my massage therapist seems to know exactly where to focus her attention. I had been having some awful headaches for close to two weeks, and I walked out after my massage completely headache free!
Friday afternoon I went to a local nursery and picked up more mums for the front area as well as a couple of pumpkins. I also got a Black Futsu Pumpkin which is a type of rare Japanese heirloom winter squash.
I love your fall-themed tablecloth! (and I love how the zinnias blend right in!) Squash sounds so good... I am going to see what the farmer's market might have available this weekend! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI'd say you more than earned that massage after all the cleaning! This morning I cleared out a little bit of the front garden area -- but I finally have some zinnias blooming! We've got the threat of frost this week, though, so maybe I'll cut them and bring them inside to enjoy. Of all the things that could get into the house, a sparrow sounds the least worrisome, especially after our next-door neighbors had a bat a couple of weeks ago (shudder). Happy Monday and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI think the zinnias are pretty and they do blend right in! A bird in the house is a little concerning, but it is far better than a bat. (That's what we end up with in the house about twice a year.) It seems like I'm always surprised with how much time it takes me to thoroughly clean the bathroom, and wash all the towels and bedding. But your chores are all done and you've had a massage, so I hope your Monday is a good one!
ReplyDeleteI bought a pot of zinnias this year and they are looking a little weary too. They were fun while they lasted.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and beautiful looking squash!
ReplyDeleteZinnias are the flowers that keep on giving. Yours do look lovely against that tablecloth. I keep bringing in small bouquets and I have plenty of dried flower heads saved in a brown paper bag for next year. I truly hope the little sparrow found it's way out of the house.
ReplyDeleteI bet Mabel will find it if it is in the house!
