We got our first frost last
night and the season
for growing is over.
Good bye to bouquets picked
fresh for the table.
A couple of weeks ago
I thought that this would
be my last bouquet of the
season . . .
But now with our visit from
Mr. Jack Frost
I'm sure this one is 😒
I do enjoy picking fresh
flowers for the table.
Harvesting the last
of my carrots and onions.
It's been a very busy
couple of weeks.
Working to clear
and clean
the vegetable garden.
A trip to the ER
followed by an appointment
with a orthopedic surgeon.
(all is well . . . I'm
getting better and no need
for surgery . . .
Boy, that took a load off!!!
A beautiful gift from
a friend of this little
blue chicken. She has
chickens in her decorating
but mostly red, brown and black.
She knew that blue is my color
and before donating to a
charity shop she asked
me if I'd like it.
Isn't it adorable.
I love it!
Oh, and I purchased
this new living room
rug from Amazon.
It's one of those washable
rugs 9X12, but it was so
heavy that I had to roll
the box in.
It says to use a heavy duty
giant laundromat machine.
I can't image how heavy it
will be wet. I'll need
help when it comes time
to wash it 😳

Your blogging sister,
Your living room is so inviting! It is still in the 80s in NW GA. But so dry most of the flowers have given up! Glad you won't need surgery! A blessing for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am so glad I don't need surgery either ☺️ I already had family and dear friends ready to take shifts to be with me until I recuperated from the surgery. I am truly blessed!
DeleteI love the rug!
ReplyDeleteAnd your adorable pup. Is he a golden doodle?
Thank you and yes Beulah (she) is a labradoodle, but she is 3/4 poodle and one quarter lab. Her four year old birthday is coming up next week 🤗. She is a very sweet companion and friend.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Beulah!
Delete🌹
She thanks you 🐶
DeleteWe've had frost warnings but so far, it's not hit us.
ReplyDeleteThe chicken is perfect!
So glad you are ok and don't need surgery.
I love the new rug!
Thanks, I love the little blue chicken she looks perfect sitting in my kitchen window.
DeleteI am overly ecstatic that I don't need surgery. I wasn't afraid of the surgery but I hated the fact that so many people had to take turns and care for me. I shouldn't be that way. The Lord has been working on me. I love helping others but I hate asking for help for myself. I guess it's a form of pride and I know that pride is not good. I need to learn that giving is fine but taking love and care from others is also fine.I am truly blessed.
I'm impressed with your carrots. When I grew some they were scrawny little things! We've had a couple of light frosts. Love the little blue chicken. I have a friend who collects those chickens. Glad to hear you won't need surgery!!!
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord, I am so happy that I won't need surgery. I have a list of things to change in my lifestyle adding electrolytes, stretching exercises, calf compressions and walking. I always think of you and your daily walks. Walking is so good in so very many ways.
DeleteFrost is still a couple of weeks away here. I love your rug and your sweet pup!
ReplyDeleteThanks, me too. We're having a problem at the moment because she puts her front half in my lap every night for petting and ear scratches, but my knee is so sore that I can't handle her weight on my knee. Poor, girl, I know that she's feeling hurt and unloved when I don't let her up.
DeleteSorry to hear you had to go to the ER but glad you didn’t need surgery. Love the rug you bought. It looks awesome in your living room
ReplyDeleteThank you on both subjects. I feel so relieved. The ER did x-rays and a sonogram and then when I got in to see the orthopedic surgeon they did x-rays again. They found major arthritis and bone spurs. But no surgery hallelujah! I had two days where I could barely walk. I couldn't put weight on my right leg.
DeleteThank you 🤗
DeleteSo far no frost in Central Indiana. It's been unseasonably warm and dry. I love the glass chicken. Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it too. So happy my friend thought of me ☺️
DeleteThank you, me too. I'm delighted that my friend thought of me before donating it to the senior center.
DeleteYour new rug is beautiful Connie, as is that blue chicken. I am thinking perhaps you might spot clean the rug, rather than try washing it. I think it would be so heavy too!! Love your vases of flowers - I am enjoying picking some stems here too as we are in spring. Have a lovely week Connie xx
ReplyDeletePicking fresh flowers and bringing them inside is one of my favorite pleasures of the warmer seasons.
DeleteOoops forgot to say - I am pleased you are okay regarding your trip to ER & nothing broken. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, so am I ☺️
DeleteYour living room looks so beautiful with the new rug. What a cozy place. And the blue chicken is the prettiest thing! What a kind friend. We've had frost on the roofs, but little on the ground. I keep waiting for the flowers to fall over, but so far they are holding their own. Like you, I pick the bouquets for as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteI know from daffodils and tulips in the spring to the last roses and chrysanthemums of fall. I love fresh home picked bouquets. I was raised in Indiana and we had lots of wildflowers. Now living in a desert area, I miss that.
DeleteI love your postings so very much. Sometimes we need to let others do for us. May God continue His blessings on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you. God has been blessing me from the moment I was conceived. There were a lot of things going on that were against me coming into this world or living afterwards and here I am 80 years young 🥰 God is Good!!!
DeleteI'm so pleased that you had good news after your health scare.
ReplyDeleteJenny it was scary, I had two days where I could barely walk, more like a scooting, my right leg wouldn't hold my body weight and I had know idea what was happening. Anyway all is well now,
DeletePraise God! I've got to learn how to take better care of this body, it's not as young as it used to be, LOL
Oh my Connie, so good to hear that you are ok and in no need of surgery. I do enjoy picking fresh flowers for inside too and know it won't be long before we see a frost too. That hen is too cute, goes great with your room too. That rug is gorgeous, hopefully you won't have to wash it too often.
ReplyDeleteHi thanks for stopping by. I'm on cloud nine with the news of not needing surgery ☺️
DeleteIt is a beautiful rug, and I'm sure there won't be a reason to wash it. We're still getting our little garden sorted for the winter.
ReplyDeleteWhy it the garden so much fun planting in the spring, but not much fun at all pulling up in the fall? The best part about fall is seed saving ☺️
DeleteHi Connie... I didn't know you had hurt your knee so bad! Did I miss when you talked about it? I know you said you did fall, but I definitely missed how bad it was! I'm glad you are getting better and no need for surgery! I hurt my right knee in a fall about 4 years ago, and it still acts up now and then.. sometimes gets really bad, but gradually seems to heal again after using ice, heat and keeping it raised alot. I finally did got to P.T. and he gave me some exercises that really help! Looks like you are STILL working around your play and probably way too much!!! :-) Your flowers are beautiful and your garden looks so nice and neat and tidy. Love your new rug.. I can't imagine trying to lug that somewhere to wash! I have a sleeping bag I want to wash at a laundromat, and I dread even doing that! it sure is a pretty color. I love your living room.. it is so cozy and warm and inviting.......... I hope you are feeling totally better since you were sick and not feeling well. Time goes by so fast.... way too fast.. and now the summer is mostly gone, though we are still having pretty nice weather and I can't believe it's almost November! Sure not ready for it, though I do love the orange and yellow colors and Fall days. You take care of yourself, and carry your phone with you when you're outside working! We never know when the ground will come up to meet our face! Hugs... Marilyn
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, keep that phone in your pocket. Wearing an apron is a way that I've found to be helpful. Two pockets, one for the phone and one for dog treats 🥰 Thanks for visiting - - - I still can't figure out why blogger is sending your comments as anonymous. Thanks for signing them with your name.
DeleteWe haven't had our first frost yet here in northeast IL, but it will be soon. We've had an overly-warm October, so far. Love your new living room rug and it looks like Beulah does, too! What happened that you ended up in the ER - did you fall? Whatever happened, I'm glad that you don't need surgery. Big hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melanie, I'm very grateful too. It started with a fall, that wasn't too bad, but as time went on things got worst. The fall was a month before the ER. Long story, I'm just very pleased to have a happier ending then I anticipated.
DeleteSo glad you are ok and did not need surgery!
ReplyDeletePretty flowers. We hate to see them go. Soon the mums will be everywhere and then the poinsettias.
Blessings.
I hate to see them go, too. Winter is not my favorite season, but I do find more time for sewing when the weather is cold and that's nice 🙂
DeleteConnie, I hope you will feel stronger soon. Falls happen so quickly and can be so damaging. I'm convalescing after a knee replacement operation, so I understand your pain!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad that I didn't need my knee operated on, that was my concern. I'm going to be praying that you have a speedy recovery.
DeleteThe rug is beautiful and your blog is always uplifting !
ReplyDeleteValena
Thank you.
DeleteOh, so sad to see your flowers go, but you certainly enjoyed them while they lasted. We haven't had any frost yet, but just the fact that it has been so dry there aren't many flowers left around except the usual fall wildflowers along the roads. I love your little blue hen on a nest. So pretty. And that rug is beautiful! I can't imagine trying to wash it in any size washing machine, but maybe it just won't get that dirty! It really is pretty. Oh, so sorry you needed to go to the ER, but glad it wasn't too serious. That's always scary. Praise God all is well. Happy rest of your October days. I can see you are a busy lady!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet. . . I have slowed down a lot lately.
DeleteYour new rug is beautiful but Beulah is sweeter. :-) Your new little chicken is so cute and perfect for your home.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get your garden so beautifully cleaned up? I don't think I've ever seen a neater one. And I'm sorry about your ER visit. That isn't good at all and I' glad that you're okay.
Today I finally got my computer back from the computer hospital. I sure hope it works better than it did last time they took care of it. It has a new hard drive and now I'm trying get get everything reinstalled on in. I never enjoy that process.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Hi Betsy, I'm so happy that you signed this comment and wonder why blogger is posting you as anonymous. Glad that your computer is back and running. Looking forward to seeing all the needle work you completed while it was down. 🥰
