Greetings, Dear Readers! Happy Monday!! 💗
Can you believe that this is the last Monday of October? Time just keeps marching onward and, here we are! Christmas is less than two months away! 😲
I trust that you and yours had a great week and weekend. On the home-front here, my "quieter, less-busy week at home" turned out to be much busier than anticipated and not a single day was spent at home.
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday were spent running errands and taking care of business; Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were spent working. Friday and Saturday were normal work days, Tuesday was the bison auction, and Sunday was the last Sunday of the season (we are closed on Sundays from November 1st through March 31st). I am so thankful!
I accomplished very little on the home-front, but other things got done that needed doing this week. The work on my car, for example...an oil change, new brakes, and I now have a working heater (went all last winter without one). 🥶 There are still a couple of things that need done, but they will come later. For now we are in good shape for winter travel, which was our immediate concern.
I'm running short on time this morning, so enough about last week. Let's jump ahead to this week, shall we?
Looks, too, like an impromptu frost flower hike might be on tap for early Thursday morning. We shall see!
... On my reading pile...
Sadly, I'm still right where I was...My Father, Daniel Boone - The Draper Interviews with Nathan Boone edited by Neal O. Hammon and On The Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
On the menu this week...
... Keeping up with the temperature afghan. The gold yarn that I was waiting on arrived, so I can continue on with my project now.
Until Next Time...

Right now I am...
... Enjoying a cup of hot tea as I contemplate the week ahead and work on this post.
On the breakfast plate...
... Eggs, toast, and hot tea

The weather...
... Right now it's 44 degrees with a windchill of 38. The next few days look a bit nippy, but it looks like warmer temperatures will prevail towards week's end.

On my 'to do' list...
I stayed up late last night doing laundry and my "Weekly Home Blessing" so that things could be done a little different this week.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be spent taking a much needed break from the norm and enjoying some self-imposed time off.

Scripture passage...
 |
| We were surprised the other day to see a cow grazing across the way. It had evidently escaped from somewhere else and decided that the grass was greener on our neighbor across the street's property. |

Well, Ladies! That's it for this week! I pray that each and every one of you have a blessed and beautiful week ahead! 💗
