Sunday Happy

October is a magic month, and it has totally delivered this year. I have been getting all the feels, you know, the cozy, warm and cuddly, want to eat everything spicy, nearing the holidays feels that one gets when the days get shorter and the temperature drops. It's fantastic. The house always smells like a warm pumpkin or baking bread, the pup is happy and not constantly at the verge of having a heat stroke, the mr is has pulled out the hats (his hats really make his beautiful blue  eyes pop)  and I am rocking my warm wool socks. 

I love these days.

This week has held a lot of stuff that needed to be done., but when not doing that stuff, I basically have had my head in a book, I have read 2 & 1/2  books this week (Fan Girl, Last Bite, and The Art of Fermentation) and have pretty much ignored  doing anything  else in the way of extracurriculars, manily cause the mr has been off doing crazy things (I'll tell you about it later) and I have had a bunch of time to myself. So yeah. when I am alone, I clean, make coffee, and snuggle the shit out to the entire couch and read. It is so great! I love my mr, but man, having the entire couch to myself is amazing! (We have a tiny love seat that only fits 2 humans kind of comfortably)  Oh wait, I did take my little sister out for a driving lesson. That was fun. (I am way to lax as a driving instructor.. the mr in the back seat, not so much).  She is actually a great driver and I will hire her as my chauffeur when she gets her license. Also, you might already know, I made a huge batch of hot sauce. And still, a few day later, I am finding that I got super hot pepper juice on things that I shouldn't have touched and am having mini burning attacks all the time. So yeah, if you make hot sauce, don't be like me and smear everything with hotness. 

But other then that, nothing super exciting has happened this week (besides that mr's thing). We were planning on going camping, but being that we just realized that we no longer have a functional tent , and that my sleeping bag is a pieces of shit and not very warm, we decided it might be best to call it off for now, until we get our gear in shape.

How about you? Have you caved in to the wonders of the fall? Gone leaf peeping or apple picking? Are you hoarding canned pumpkin to sell later on the black market? (Good idea right?) Well, whatever you are doing, I hope you are having fun and taking it easy today.

Some stuff from the world wide web.

Sunday Happy

Yesteray the mr and I took a couple littles( and one not so little) to the farm for a tracker ride and pumpkin picking! It was fantastic. The sun was out, but it was still fall chilly. The pumpkins were amazing and we were the first one there so we had an the first pick of the lot! But before we went to the pumpkin patch, we went to the raspberry patch for some breakfast raspberries  and the littles stumbled upon a super friendly, lovey black cat. Needless to say, they picked no raspberries and just ended up playing with the cat.  I asked one of the farmers if they knew the cat and she told us it's kind of the farms cat and her name is…wait for it…. Super Friendly.. Best name ever.

This week also included a birthday party, a solar eclipse (did you see it?) a little drive to check our some tree colors (wasn't much at the time, but this week will be good) and some more apple picking (I can't stop!). We also took one of the last trips to the garden to harvest some greens and got crushed. I have been babying a bed of rainbow chard all summer and was so excited to do one big-ass harvest. But when we got there, all the leaves have been eaten off. A Fuckface deer ate my chard! I was so mad and am still a little pissy about it, but what can I do? And really, If I was a deer , tI would have muched the shit out of that chard too.

Also, it seems that everyday I am digging/riffling through the basement for just one more long sleeve shirt, pair of wool socks, or a warmer pair of mittens. I have't pulled out the jacket yet, but I think that it's going to happen soon. I mean, wearing 2 long sleeve shirts and 2 sweaters is getting kind of annoying when I leave the house to walk the dog, So yeah, might do that today.

But this weather… SO GOOD right! Blankets, sweaters, tea and coffee, knitting and reading. If I could live in a fall state for my entire life. Oh man that would be great. 

Anyways, enough about me, how about you? Are you enjoying the weather where you are? Are you getting out and doing all the fall things that one does? Are you at least getting in some r and r toady? I hope so. cause we all deserve it! 

Here, the Internet stuff from the week if you feel so inclined.

-I am trying to get the mr to go with me.. but I am going. (heights are a bitch)  Wild Walk. A walk through the  Treetops.

-Clone your dog?  I think I'm gonna pass on that. 

-A myth about Refreezing food.  Good, cause I a freezer, refreezesr of food.

Have a great day!

Has you week been full of fun and lots of crazy like mine has been? Whatever your answer is, just watch this cinnamon toast crunch commercial…  I laughed my ass soft so hard that I actually went to the you tube to watch it again. 

Yes indeed. A week full of fullness. I managed 3 cake (not including pies and muffins and the such), kindergartener soccer practice, a end of summer hot-dog dinner, a few parties, work stuff, and have managed to not run away screaming from all the crazy that has been my life. (Hooray for me!) As always, the end of September has turned into  family crazy, which then leads too the beginning of the holiday nutters and the snowball effect sets in. So to but in lightly, the next few months are going to be LIKE WHOA!

But it's all good. I like some of that crazy (SOME!) Plus me and the mr always can find some time to do a few things that are just the two of us. Like yesterday, we went to our favorite harvest festival out in Underhill, where I scored some cool  jars and a vintage roasting pan and walked around looking at junk for like 3 hour.  Then we headed to the mountains where we leaf peeped a little (not much color yet), and the mr did some fishing. Then the day ended with a cuddle on the couch while we watched Moonrise Kingdom.(again) It was the most perfect day!

 Now for today. After a few life chores that need to be done, I am going to bust out the flannel sheets and the wool blanket for the bed, grab a few more long shirts, sweaters, and socks, and bundle myself up, sit out side and read, knit, and drink coffee all afternoon. Oh and take a nap at some point so I can be awake for the eclipse tonight!!! (being awake at 10 is pushing it for me)

Anyways, Hope you peoples' are having some fun this weekend and getting yourself outside to enjoy the world!

Here, some fun and interesting internet stuff to check out.

WHAT WHAT..It's. Sunday already? That happened. 

I guess starting off  last Monday pretty much a sleepless zombie didn't help, plus for some reason, the world became super hot again and that sent me over the edge. Once I get the taste for cool crisp weather, anything warm and hot makes me crazy. I felt almost ill all week from the heat. But I think (it really must be) the end of that weather. Next week is all about the low 70's with cold nights! Oh man, it's going to fantastic!

Yup, last week was a busy one, but we did manage to get in some fun. Wild apple picking (HARD CIDER), a little hike, and we did spend a fare amount of time at the garden. (which is on it's was out). We are trying to go every day cause we are still picking tomatoes, zucchinis, peppers and a few other things.  The flowers are still growing and the kale and chard are doing great, but you can just tell that this time next week, the tomatoes will be no more. The last zucchini is going to be picked, and as for the kale and chard. I am just goojg to harvest it all and eat it all to my face cause we are being kicked out of the garen plot by the end of the month. This makes me sad, but at least I have all of my house plants to surround my self with. And honestly, not going to the garden all the time, I'll have more time to sit on my butt and read and knit. (I am already falling behind on my knitting projects)

Anyway, today is definitely  going to be a me day. Tomorrow is the kick off for family birthday party season, which means I will be spending my weekends making lot s of cakes and going to a bunch of littles birthday parties. Fun times, but crazy. One a week for the next 6 months……I am already tired.

Coffee. That's all I need to get me through. Lots and lots of coffee.
