Still some beautiful Fall colors in October, up near Mt. Hood.
After 3 fruit stands, no one had any. I was so disappointed. But what do you think I found over in Oregon on my way home at a little produce stand in Clatskanie, about 20 miles from my house? Fresh Hood River peaches! How ironic is that?
I managed to take a stroll through our local nursery, Blackberry Big Farm, right before Halloween. Oh it was so pretty!
And I took a quick drive over to the ocean on a gorgeous, unwindy day.
And now................... I'm getting ready for Christmas!
Father Time, I'm going to catch up with you, I really am!
How is your Christmas planning coming along?
Hugs..........Marilyn
Mt Hood is incredible! So wonderful that you are able to take such a beautiful drive! Glad you finally found some peaches, and enjoyed the drive too. I know all about that time slipping away, its crazy isn't it! The mushroom pictures are adorable!! They are very unique and fun!! It is the season of Christmas indeed! I need to get busy with our cards. It's always a big job but I love to do it! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, Blessings back at ya! Here it is Dec. 11th already! Wow... I can't keep up! I'm still posting about summer stuff! My handmade cards may be few and far between this year, or at least very simple ones. Congrats to your new baby girl! She's darling! Have a wonderful holiday! Hugs... Marilyn
DeleteHow wonderful for a beautiful scenic drive. Now that winter and Christmas is approaching fast enjoy every minute. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteKris, thank you and Merry Christmas to you! I'm enjoying every minute of every day. They just pass by too fast. We're "enjoying" high winds, warm temperatures and tons of rain! No snow in the forecast thank goodness..... not until Christmas is over anyway! xoxo Marilyn
DeleteThat first photo of Mt Hood is gorgeous, totally worthy of framing and hanging on the wall. When you emailed me and told me you were posting I thought it was going to be about the cards that you just made. They're very cute and I'm sure very appealing to the younger generation. I'm such an old fogie that I'm not up with the times. My animated characters are still Donald Duck and Bugs Bunny . . . Whoops I'm showing my age, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI hope your drive was good today and that you made it safely home before dark. Great to see a new post and I totally agree about time flying away. I can't believe how fast it goes.
God bless you sweet friend and have a lovely weekend 🥰
Connie... I know.. those cards I made were more for the "youngsters"!! The lady who owns the shop says alot of teens from the highschool come in.. so I thought more whimsical cards might be in order. I DID do some prettier more traditional cards too though. I need to get a blog post done with Christmas in mind! I just can't keep up with the holidays. Maybe by Valentines Day, I'll be posting about my Christmas cards! xoxoxo Marilyn
DeleteI thought maybe I had missed one of your posts, so I checked your blog last week. People who get too busy to post, actually have a REAL life, away from the internet!
ReplyDeleteI had a brown lawn up until almost Halloween. I was getting a bit frustrated because I seeded a new lawn a year ago, and I was counting on fall rains for the fall grass-growing season (I have a half acre). Not to worry, my grass is very green now. I hear that we are in for a deluge next week. For once I'm happy about this.
PS- I LOVE your elf pictures!
Kris, thank you for the comment! I love those red polka dot mushrooms. My dtr-in-law collections the elves and fairies, so we thought they would be great for a mushroom photo shoot! Everything is green here now also.. even on the wet coast, things get brown during the summer months if you don't water. Stay dry! Marilyn
