Good morning, Sweet Ladies! Happy Monday!!!
What??? It's October already??? Really??? 😲 Ohmygoodness! I've been so busy with work and trying to recover from Jubilee that I didn't even realize that the calendar pages had changed! (deep sigh) Oh, well! HAPPY OCTOBER! 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁
How was your week and weekend? Ours was good here. Enjoyed Prairie Jubilee immensely, but am sooooo thankful that it's over! It's a lot of hard work, but it's a lot of fun, too! It was wonderful getting to see so many people that I haven't seen in awhile! Am glad that we only do this every other year, though! 😆

| Today I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom and all of the wonderful ladies of Happy Homemaker Monday! |
Right now I am...
... Taking a break, having breakfast, enjoying a cup of tea, and working on this post.
... about the busy week ahead and wishing that things would slow down a bit. I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round and can't get off. This has GOT to change and soon!
On the breakfast plate...
... eggs and toast, manadarin oranges, and Twining's Irish Breakfast tea

The weather...
... 71 degrees and cloudy, at the moment, with a high of 82 expected. The week ahead looks warm (mid- to upper-80's for daytime highs and lows in the 70's), but, after that, cooler (highs in the lower-70's with lows in the 50's) and better chances for rain toward the end of the week.

On my reading pile...
... I have a whole pile of books that I'd like to be reading, but, at the moment, Redeemed From Poverty, Sickness, and Spiritual Death by Kenneth E. Hagin is the only one I'm working on. I just haven't had a lot of time TO read lately. 😞

In the craft basket...
Nothing at the moment, but am happy to say that we gave away most of the paper bead kits at Jubilee. Seems that we had more green and yellow left at the end of the day than anything else (the pinks, purples, and blues went fast), but, overall, I think they were a success. I don't know that I will ever do them again. I'm hoping to come up with something a little less labor-intensive for next time! 😄 The beads that are left will be worked into a Native American program somewhere along the way, I'm sure. Thanks, again, to everyone who helped with the paper-bead making!

Looking forward to this week...
Any down time I can manage and meeting up with family and friends back home and attending Missouri Town's Arts, Crafts, and Music Festival.
Something interesting I watched...
From the camera...

| These Three Late Calves I knew we had two late calves born this year, but discovered that we had THREE when I was leading a bison tour Saturday afternoon. What a surprise! Most bison calves at Prairie State Park are born in April and May. |

Jubilee is always fun and this one was particularly great because the weather was perfect, the bison cooperated, and we were right in the thick of the monarch migration AND right in the middle of the fly-zone!
