October in Minnesota is filled with a mix of days
rainy days, cold-er days
and special blessings of warm, sunny, 70-some-degrees days
(we are in a stretch of those right now)
I thought I'd share some of it with you here...
These are growing all over my flower garden, they popped up after the rain
I wonder if they are edible?
We had a late start to summer and it seems all my seeded flowers are over a month late,
my mailbox Morning Glories are finally blooming!
Pumpkin muffins, bread and waffles fill the air with spice!
My Cosmos and Zinnia's are blooming finally
Blessings all around
We are leaving the messes inside for
warm breezes and sunshine!!
Call Fr. Gregory about the mushrooms. It's his specialty. He loves checking out what people are growing in their yard.
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures!
I KNOW--I actually took the picture hoping to see him at Mass today, but he wasn't there...I need his number!
DeleteI love hearing your voice!
ReplyDeleteIt has been amazing weather. Perfect for playing outside. I gave Colette 3 bucks to clean our playroom. It was like a bomb went off. One little kid can just destroy the place.
Enjoy this weather. Like you said, we will be looking at snow for awhile.
I dont' even want to think about that white stuff....another perfect day!! I loved the wind yesterday though!
DeleteOh boy, Jamie...I so enjoyed this one!
ReplyDeleteI loved hearing your voice, and sharing your beautiful day with you, and seeing how you all are enjoying the beauty of autumn.
I wish I could just drop by and sit on that porch with you. Oh...and eat a few of those muffins too. : )
Enjoy, my dear bloggy friend.
If you stopped by to visit on the porch, you'd go home with muffins!
DeleteI love October! It's my favorite month! We were going to get married in October but then decided on May...now I'm wishing I chose October. :-)
ReplyDeleteI got all excited when I saw that quote of Anne of Green Gables on FB--I thought you were going to do a post on her. Love that show, I'll have to watch it again! :-)
Oh, sorry about that!! I just loved that quote and the picture of pumpkins!!
DeleteLove cosmos and zinnias! You have more color than we do. Can't wait! And AMEN to Anne of Green Gables!
ReplyDeleteWe had such an odd year,! Usually August I have blooms from Cosmos and Zinnias and my Morning Glories...hoping it doesnt' freeze for a while so they last a little longer!
DeleteI'd be distracted, too :) Thanks for sharing your neck of the woods (and voice) with the rest of us! I read that book a couple of years ago during lent. Tiffany (Family at the foot of the cross) recommended it. :) Your birds...I noticed the sound on the video as well. Our birds don't sound like that, but they remind me of my childhood home in Illinois. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh, isn't that interesting? When we've gone out of state, I always tell the kids to notice the birds and to listen! That's so fun. I am LOVING the book! I so wish I could read it in a weekend retreat! But I'm hoping to be done in a couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great week too Patty!
Glad to know I am not the only one bracing myself. I mean, fortifying my spirit with enough autumn beauty to last the winter. Whatever. The cold and dark days are coming and we have to live through it another year!
ReplyDeleteI just need something to hold on to!!! I am so dreading the winter....
DeleteYour voice sounds just like I'd imagined. I also imagined getting to enjoy one of those great looking muffins with you and walking through the beauty that is in your part of the world right now and having a good visit. Thank you for sharing-
ReplyDeleteWish you could come over for muffins! It's so funny when we hear our own voices, we think, "Is that me?" OH gosh....
DeleteOh my gosh I love you even more than I ever did. Tom must just LOVE to hear you talk. Call me maybe?
ReplyDeleteOh, Marijanna, it would be fun to talk for REAL someday!! BUT I have 6 little interruptions that like to make lots of noise when they see mama on the phone for some reason....
DeleteI hear you... literally :)
Delete"God Painted that tree just for you to tell you how much He loves you!" At least that is what my grandfather used to say. Thank you for sharing your beautiful day!
