Sunouettes1Sunouettes2Sunouettes3I call these my SUNouettes! It was a gorgeous day yesterday!GeeseProtectingTheirPropertyBear and I were on our walk yesterday and here are the geese protecting their property! The one on the far left is the one who comes after you if he feels you are too close to his flock or home! Bear and I didn’t stick around as we didn’t want him chasing after us!

I have a stew in the crock pot made with tender loving care, pics to come later! My house is smelling so good!LovingthisScarfProjectI didn’t like how my other scarf project was turning out so I ripped it out. I am loving this one a lot! I am using double thread as the yarn didn’t feel thick enough and I wanted this to be really warm!

Productive Saturday!

FallLeavesFallLeaves2This is how our culdesac looked this morning with all the leaves all over everywhere! The top photo is from our oak tree and the bottom one is our neighbors tree. I went out and raked a bunch of leaves for our yard debris and hubby (with his cancer) got up on the roof and blew out the gutters!!!! Bless his heart!!!!

Then our wonderful neighbor Laurie helped me with our leaf vac, hubby showed us how it worked and we got our culdesac all spiffy looking!!!!!!CleanCuldesacNow that looks awesome!!!!!! All cleaned up!!!! We have one elderly gentleman who lives on our culdesac and he thanked us last year for keeping our street so nice!!!! That makes us feel good!!!!!! HeartyDinnerHere is our hearty much earned dinner! I made baked chicken, potato salad and stuffing!!!! The other day Laurie brought us over a wonderful apple desert in philo dough and it had a carmel sauce!!!! It was so beautiful and tasted awesome!

Now it is rest time after a long day of hard work in the yard!
