Enjoying The Simple Pleasures Of The Season

Today was one of those perfect days
to spend outside.
It won't be long before the 
weather gets cold.
 So, I'm enjoying
the gorgeous November sunshine :)


 
Look how pretty the grape vines look.

I hope that all of you are having
a wonderful day, too.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)

    2. Connie, I mean the big one in front of the house. Hometree seemed like the right word for it!

    1. Thank you, I've been working out there picking up leaves and mowing. I like to mow through the leaves so that they get mulched up . . . there are so good to put around the roses and in the garden for compost.

    1. I love this time of the year, but I know that winter is coming. Winter is my least favorite season, but I do love living in an area where we can experience all four seasons.

    1. Truly we live in a desert area, any trees that you see where planted here. If you drive in any undeveloped area you will see sagebrush and tumbleweed :)

  10. Hi Connie, Your pictures are pretty and relaxing! We have had some lovely days here also but not sure it is good for the cough I have. Were you left with a cough from when you were sick? Hope not. Hoping the snow doesn't fly before our house is done. Have a good week-end! Nancy

    1. I hope that it doesn't fall on your new house either . . . it is coming along and is going to be beautiful. I am sure that you both are getting very excited. Here's wishing you a few nice dry and sunny days for your move in :)

    1. Hi Teresa, thank you. I'm looking forward to getting all of our winterizing done. Then the art barn and my sewing machine will be calling my name. I don't like winter that much, so instead of the cold and icy season, I like to think of it as the sewing and quilting season, LOL.

  12. It has been really mild over here in the UK too. Your garden is certainly looking pretty.

    1. We have had a very nice autumn season. A lovely mix of rain one day and sunshine the next. We live in an area where rain is rare and we love it when in comes our way :)

  13. Oh, how gorgeous.

    We were in Ojai for 3 days and had a bit of fall with all the trees, but nothing like yours. Lulu enjoyed playing in the leaves in a meadow beyond the inn where we stayed.

    And, did I mention I finally got a new sewing machine - a Janome. My 75 year old Bernina finally died. The shop owner gave me $125 credit toward a new machine because he will use my Bernina for parts. I am loving all the different stitches I can do and played a little with it hemming some napkins the other day.

    1. Hi Lisa, I just came from your blog . . . I am so impressed with your flax brick wall. It is beautiful. I wanted to follow but didn't see a place to click, so I added your blog to my favorite list. I want to be sure and know when you post:) Keep Smiling, sister.

    1. Thank you Diana, you are so sweet. It is a simple little country home, but it fits us like a glove. We have never looked back and regretted selling our other home :) This little place has become home and we feel so blessed to be living out our retirement years here.

  18. Many of our leaves have falllen, but the weather this week is supposed to be perfect for enjoying the last of them. We have to soak up all the pretty and warm in preparation for winter.
