Getting Ready For Winter


I've been missing the

 blogging scene

&

visiting all my blogging friends.

It's that time of year 

when yard work 

has a definite winter 

deadline.

I've been pulling the garden,

cleaning the yard,

shutting off water lines 

and 

winterizing everything that might freeze.




 I certainly hope 
that I don't forget anything. 

Our cold weather season 

is right around the corner.

I'm looking forward 

to getting back in my sewing room.  

I just haven't had much time 

to do that lately.

I'm also looking forward to 

trying my hand at making some of 

the beautiful snowflakes that I've 

been seeing on Pinterest. 

 I do think making these 

will be a lot of fun. 


God Bless You All 

& 

Happy Blogging. 


Your blogging sister, 

Connie :)

  1. Haven't you been busy! It certainly is the time of year when the garden needs attention. I spend hours raking fallen leaves!

    1. Thanks to getting my trees cut down before the leaves fell, that job is almost totally checked off my list now.

  3. Hello Connie! You’re so very right - “yard work has a definite winter deadline.” We’ve had many several very hard frosts already and a light dusting of snow. Apparently more snow is possible later this week. And, like you, it’s a constant mental checklist of whether everything has been taken care of. It seems no matter how many years I’ve been doing and how methodical I try to be, something escapes me each winter. ~Robin~

  4. You have to "make hay while the sun shines", so they say...so get your outdoor chores done before the snow flies! You don't want to be caught unprepared! Even though we don't have snow or even very much freezing weather here in Florida, we still have that sense of getting things ready for "winter". Mostly I think because it gets dark so early now and there's only so many hours in the day to get things done, so we start taking care of the outdoor work and then we start our "nesting" indoors for the winter months. It just seems to be a natural "instinct' that God must've given us to be prepared for the winter months to come...in more than one way or another. I enjoy your posts and seeing what you've been up to. I will look forward to your upcoming "events". Have a blessed rest of November and Thanksgiving.

  5. Pamela, thanks for stopping by . . . It has been so long since I last posted that I was afraid that I might have been forgotten. You're so sweet ... I love Thanksgiving, wishing you a lovely one too 🥰

  6. Yes this is certainly a busy time putting things away, we too had to put away out hoses for the winter, I still haven't pulled out our garden yet though. Look forward to your snowflake craft :)

    1. I'm looking forward to trying some of the snowflakes that I've been seeing on Pinterest. I love browsing through their ideas. You're a paper crafting queen, you should give them a try, too 😊

  7. Hi Connie! It's so nice to see you. You really have been busy and I'm impressed. It's a busy time of year. The leaves keep falling here.
    I'm doing snowflakes - just tried a few yesterday. I'm in charge of doing a bunch of them for our ladies Christmas brunch at church, so I'm testing out some different sizes. Fun!

  8. Hey Connie - I won't be posting my snowflakes for some time because our event isn't for a month. But here's a post I did some time ago when I made these paper bag snowflakes before.
