OCTOBER IS HERE ALREADY!

My goodness, the days are going so fast my head is spinning!  Life is so busy here in my hometown!  Lots of Fall gatherings and decorating going on!  I joined the library and renewed memories of when I joined the library as a child about 2nd grade.  I felt so puffed up as it was the first place I was allowed to walk alone besides school.  I also smiled as I walked through piles of colored leaves that "swished" as I stepped through :)  I have been taking rides to view the wonderful scents and scenes of Autumn in Central NY.

 

RR tracks the other side of Port Byron, NY before turning on Oakland Rd.

The fall blue sky with fair weather clouds are just beautiful!

All of the houses that I have lived in as a child are all gone now except for the house I was born in.  But I took a side road, Robinson Road in Throop NY where I learned to walk in a little house that no longer exists.  But I found a wonderful Barn which is one of my favorite subjects for photography and artwork.

 

 

The Silo was just wonderful with vines growing up the side to the roof and the roof askew from weathering and age.

Just wishing walls could talk!

 

 



And on the main road a swampy area so pretty in the sun with Canadian Geese swimming in among the growth.



 

The sights and sounds so pleasing to the heart....

 

 

No need for enhancement here!  Just true, rich colors of Autumn.

 

A little girl from down the street has invited me to her Halloween party today.  How sweet!  Not sure if I will attend or not-ha!  It has been a very long time since I dressed for Halloween!  But her invitation made me smile. :)

A LOVELY FALL DAY...

Hello again you dear friends!  I cannot believe how fast the weeks have gone by!  I have all of the moving boxes out of the downstairs but have oodles to go through yet in the front upstairs bedroom.  Ha!  At least they are out of sight.

Joining Beverly @ http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com
at How Sweet the Sound for PINK SATURDAY.  Be sure to visit her and see what each blogger has shared in PINK!  Beautiful site.

The days have been so beautiful, some chilly, some like summer...and I am loving every one!

I just cannot resist picking up the tiniest of leaves with fall color!  And the Sedum near my front steps is the richest warmest pink!  The honey bees and Bumble bees just love it.

 A large Bumble Bee is busy here. 

And a tiny Honey Bee is on the right side of the flower cluster here.

 And I have never seen sunflower plants that branched out like these near my neighbor's house!  They are beautiful!

And look at the very tall daisies on the other neighbor's side.  I am surrounded by beauty!

I cannot identify this cluster of flowers in the group of trees in my front yard.  Some one suggested that it may be Elderberries?  Because there are clusters of purple berries on another side of the same tree.  But there are Maple, Rose of Sharon, and this one that I cannot identify in the group.

Thank you for coming, come again soon!

Have you ever visited the Graphic's Fairy??

Good morning sweet people!  Have you ever visited the Graphic's Fairy? http://thegraphicsfairy.com/kitchen-revamp-with-home-depot-before-pics-2/

She is a wonderful source of vintage graphics to use in your crafting, cardmaking and any other way you choose to use them!  All are free.  I have been following her for years now and love the vintage seasonal graphics I find on her site and love seeing what other people have done with the graphics, too.  Anyhow, she has a contest going right now and if you make a comment on her "before" kitchen that she is updating you will have a chance to win a 1K gift certificate to Home Depot!  Make sure you pop over there!

I am getting settled into my new home and my new sofa and chair for the lvrm is being delivered this afternoon.  I am soooo excited!  I will post pictures soon.  Meanwhile I have been working in the yard with Lilly and still unpacking boxes-ha!  But I am so glad to be here!

I bought these cute cafe curtains (2 pr) to cover the huge kitchen window.  It really brightened up the room!

I added a bit of wallpaper border over the cupboards that are over the stove and it catches the light beautifully.

My new electric range is being installed tomorrow and a new over/under washer/dryer will also be hooked up tomorrow.  I am thankful for friends who are also electricians!!  The old range cannot be picked up until after the Labor Day Weekend so right now it is in the middle of the floor-ha!

The bathroom is where the W/D will be and after installation, it will fit snuggly back into the space.  I am so excited!  And at my age, I feel these will be one-time purchases-ha!

And my sweet Lilly just loves running up and down stairs and can get into all kinds of mischief in the front bedroom where things are still in disarray!  She got hold of a skein of yarn up there the other day and did a real number on it-ha!  So I put the baby gate up at the bottom of the stairs so she can't go up there without me. :)

Thanks so much for visiting and come again soon! Love to all, my heart to yours...

BLOGGER QUESTION AND BACKYARD

Does anyone know how to change your primary e-mail address?  In moving I no longer have the SC e-mail address but comments are going to that one.  I tried the "add author" to change the e-mail address but it does not give me that option of making it my primary address.  Thanks in advance for help.
Have a wonderful day!

Views of my back yard from the upstairs window, great size for me to maintain!

So pretty with large old Maples, Beech-nut and other trees.  Love it!  Foliage should be beautiful.  I moved just in time to enjoy the Fall!

Thanks for visiting!!  Come again soon!

The Wedding couple and Unpacking

I now have a photo to show you of my lovely daughter Christine and her wonderful hubby, Jim!  Charleston Weddings are the best, so romantic and beautiful!  They were married at the Pineapple Fountain.

I am so happy for them!  A Mother's dream, happiness for her children!  God Bless them always!

Making some progress with settling into my new house.  I love it here so much.  I am quite exhausted but am chilling out today with a cup of coffee and blogging. 

This was the dining room a few days ago.  I emptied a lot of these boxes yesterday.

 This is another of the dining room before I moved the China Closet to the corner, etc.  

 This is the kitchen yesterday. The pictures are dark but it is really bright with a double window over the sink.

This is the little sunroom/front porch-the only settled place-ha!  It has 6 windows and I love having coffee there in the mornings.

This is a corner of the living room where I have my piano. (Big Smile)

I cannot wait to be settled and will post the "after" photos soon.

Thank you for coming and I hope you will visit my other blogs (links in the sidebar).

Happy Tuesday to you all.

BACK TO AUBURN, NY AT LAST!!!

HELLO AUBURN!

I am so happy to be back in my hometown and back on line!  I just got hooked up to the internet this morning!  It was a hard road getting here and right now I am in a nightmare of un-packing but feel at peace already coming "home".

I have some pictures but have not down loaded them yet, just wanted to let you know I am back and living in my new home that I bought.  God Bless, come back soon.

This is a picture from last Christmas but wanted to share that my oldest Christine and Jim got married last Monday!!  Lots of happiness going around!!

My heart to yours...

SC SUNSETS

I was invited to an 80th birthday party for one of my neighbors and her family rented 3 houses across from the ocean and on the marshes.  You know how I adore sunsets and I was not disappointed on last Wednesday when I viewed these beautiful sights and snapped away before leaving.   I love the bell in the first picture.

 I never get tired of looking at God saying "Good-night"--priceless!

Tho' my house is a shambles with packing for my move, I am glad I took time out to attend the Birthday party for my friend and did not miss a lovely evening.





Sending blessings your way for today and always,

My wild heart to yours...
