Made apple slices dipped in pancake batter. Mmmm good use of an apple. 

I went to the farm stand today that is down the street from my mom's house with my grandmother and sister. I was happy to get some pumpkins. :)

Today...

Small change but makes me happy. Went from a brass light to silver with only buying a can of spray paint. 

We finally finished venting out the pellet stove. It's not pretty but better than building a whole new chimney. Once the sealant is dry we will run it and then I'll finish by staining the trim around the hearth. 

I wanted pumpkins for the front steps but didn't want to buy any right now.  Improvised with a chainsaw ;)

I like the fact Starbucks decorates outside. I think I like this time of year because more reasons to decorate and be festive. :)

I went a little crazy with mums today. I couldn't decide on a color and they were only a $1 each at Lowes. 

This was most of dinner tonight at work. I seem to like when food is cut into small pieces. And rainbow colors. :)

I tried baking an egg in avocado. It was very tasty. 

Today involved yard work and prepping for winter. Peter worked on the door that leads outside that you could see light when it was closed. Now no light leaks so its sealed a lot better. 

I cleared the yard of branches so we can mow the lawn. 

I need some more mums for the front steps. They have small ones for $1 each at Lowes and I like mixing up colors. 

We also made a trip to Starbucks today too. When I have a free drink on my gold card I go venti :)

Today...

Breakfast 

We have a lot of apples from apple picking. Tonight I decided to make apple pie and Peter and Peyton helped. Well Peter did most of the work because I'm a novice at making pie. 

Today we went to Treworgy Orchard. We got through the corn maze and did some apple picking before going home to watch some football. 

So in between overtime and my regular shift at work, I supervised while my boyfriend cut down trees and a large branch. We had been wanting to it because we worried the branch would cause the large tree to split due to too much weight on one side. The trees he cut down were causing shade over the vegetable garden.

I made this tonight. It's a piece of clapboard from my house outside and square nails I found while renovating inside. 

Surprise from boyfriend. New walk way using bricks from chimney I took down last year. 

I am so happy I finished my bureau. It was given to me by my sister and her husband and I had been wanting to refinish it for awhile. It had a black stain on it and needed some love. The blue is Pour Down Blue by Benjamin Moore that was color matched at Lowes using Olympic One paint. I love the color! I replaced the top with a new piece of wood because the original piece was warped. I stained it and then did three coats of polyurethane. I found the knobs at Mardens for only $.49.

Today we did more work on the yard. 

I think we dug up enough slate to use for the new hearth. 

Peter dug up a large piece of granite for me. Think it was used for something based on the cut marks. 

We started leveling the walk way which soon will be brick. 

I found this in the yard today. Three marbles and rocks that I thought were cool.
