Fall Friday for sure!

We had a storm that brought in a cold front last night and it hasn't gotten out of the 50's today!  They said it would rain all day so I planned indoor activities but the sun has been out all afternoon.  Oh well, it will be out tomorrow too and a bit warmer.
Wednesday I cooked and baked so except for bread I am set for the week.  I made Crunchy Cheeseroni Casserole my favorite comfort food!  Here's a similar recipe......
she uses diced tomatoes instead of cream of tomato soup and I use elbow macaroni and she uses rotini but everything else is pretty much the same.

 I also made a homemade pie crust for the blueberry pie.............Mama Pea's recipe on my side bar........

 and as usual I managed to dirty practically every dish in the house!

 but I ate good and I'm still eating good! LOL!
I put up a few more Fall and now some Halloween decorations........Jack O'Lantern is in the front window and my little scarecrow guy turned up............

 I also dug out my Halloween fabric..........hmmmmmm.......wonder what I'll do with it?

I need to start watching some creepy Halloween movies too....but not too creepy!
I hope you are enjoying your Fall and getting out those cool weather recipes....yummy soups and casseroles and stews!
Happy Trails!!!

44 F this morning! Now we're talkin'!

Down here we go right from AC to turning the heat on!  Although it is off now and 60 F going to 70's so the windows will be open shortly.
Yesterday was a productive day.  I took my garden sprayer apart and fixed it.  The nozzle was plugged up so it works fine now.  I sprayed the front porch with the Wet and Forget and now we wait.
This is right after I sprayed it............you can see the black mold we get down here..............ugly!

 This is this morning..........nada......but the directions do say to "forget" about it as it will take time with rain and sun and whatever.........we shall see.  If it works it would be great!  The light places you see now are where there were items covering that area.

The termite guys came back to check under the crawl space.....it wasn't termites but carpenter ants....so I opted for the pest control which I had been wanting to get anyway.  I certainly don't want the porch to fall down especially after spending all that money on the roof! LOL!
I got my Halloween decorations outside...........the scarecrow and some lights

and of course the ghosts!

Today is laundry, wrap up the hoses, more Wet and Forget spraying and sweeping out the garage and so much more!  But the weather is gorgeous and I am truly enjoying it!  I hope you are too!
Happy Trails!!!

YOP Week #14

 

I am done listing all my WIPs and goals.......let's face it.....it's so unrealistic...for me anyway.  I'm a plodder.....and that's the way I like it so there....I've confessed.  So this is what I got done this week for YOP............
I finished the leg of sock #1.........for some reason it does not look long enough now that I see the picture....hmm...I counted rows but I think I'll get another pair out and measure........very strange........

I'm still not caught up with either CAL's but I'm getting there.........this is the Blaithin CAL and I need 2 more of the flower squares and then on to the next section

As for the Nature's Walk CAL.....I thought I was caught up but I made 4 squares and I think it called for 8.....oh well......I am enjoying them. 
Fall has finally arrived and I spent part of yesterday cleaning my garden sprayer and making a dilution of the Wet and Forget to spray my sidewalks and driveway to get rid of the mold.  Well, I was all set to go but when I pressed the sprayer nothing came out.  It's probably plugged or broken........I walked away.  I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I did make an apple pancake for breakfast/brunch and it was delicious..........

I highly recommend! 
I finished reading Blueberry Muffin Murder..........

and I am halfway finished with The Tale of Applebeck Orchard.......

Lots of outdoor work this week...........trimming, painting, window washing and decorating for Halloween!  I hope you have a great week!

 Please stop by and see all the other fantastic projects that other YOP'ers are working on.


Happy Trails!!!
