The weather has been so nice here this week. Only in the 80’s during the day. I went for a walk this morning and here are some of the things I saw.
The Zinnia on the front porch.
Day Lilly in the Bible Garden.
Rose in the Bible Garden.
We have a lot of green tomatoes in the garden.
We even have tomato blossoms still!
This is a beet. I found 2 of them. Who knows what the chickens did with the rest of them. I couldn’t find the carrots, either. I need better fencing next year!
We have a total of 4 squash plants. I have no idea if they are yellow or zucchini. Yep, they chickens struck again, and did away with the seed package markers my husband put out. I’m hoping for zucchini. Here are 2 of the squash plants
I found this little guy near the squash. He’s not exactly little. I’m just thankful he didn’t jump on me while I was taking his picture!
Do you have anything growing in your garden still?
Today, I’m participating in the blog hops listed below. These are a fun way to find new blogs.

I normally don’t decorate for Fall until November 1st. We don’t celebrate Halloween, so I don’t want people to think that my fall decorations are Halloween decorations. So I’m not sure why I’ve been in a Fall decorating mood this week, but I have been! I have a fall wreath on the front door, and a scarecrow on the back door. I have fall placemats out. I also pulled out my fall smelling candles.
Today I was roaming around the house looking for something fallish to use as a centerpiece for the dining room table. I found a low flat basket that I normally use in the kitchen, and 3 candles in glass jars. The large one is my favorite cinnamon candle.
Our family has been making car models for years. It’s a great family hobby. We’ve been going to shows for about 13 or 14 years now. The shows are a day long event, and lots of fun.
Well, ok, the whole day isn’t fun. There is lots of down time while the cars are being judged. That can get quite boring. And lets just say it was quite challenging with babies and toddlers. I constantly had to be on guard to keep little hands from touching other peoples cars. Now that our youngest is 10. I no longer have to worry as much.
Last Saturday, they attended a show and had a great time. Due to my still not feeling up to par, I stayed home. And Hannah, 14, opted not to attend. So the two of us had a Love Comes Softly Movie Marathon with all you can eat chocolate. All 8 movies in a row! It took just under 12 hours to watch them all.
Anyway, here are pictures from the model car show.
Zach, 10, at the show with some of his cars. He won 2 – 1st Place trophies.
Abby, 11, with some of hers. She won 1 trophy, a 1st Place.
Calen, 15, with his cement mixer he built. It won a 1st Place trophy, Best of Show, which is a very large trophy, and a Best Engine plaque. He also won a 2nd Place trophy, 3rd Place trophy, a Best Interior plaque for other cars he entered.
A total of 9 trophies and 3 plaques. A great pay-off for the months and months of work that can go into each car. Of course, the younger ones don’t spend as much time on theirs as the older ones and adults do.
Our church as an Old Fashioned Day once a year. This year, Hannah decided to make a new skirt. We didn’t have any patterns for this style, so she made it without a pattern. It has a waistband (not elastic) with a button & buttonhole. Her first buttonhole! She did a great job. She also made a matching drawstring purse.
out loud, also.
