We have a cousin that lives across the street from us and he has some property on Lookout Mountain that has a lake for fishing, and family can hunt in season. Jim is going down there today with him, just to get out of the house and get the feeling of hunting season. It is bow season here, but he doesn't bow hunt any longer, but he does still fish! It has been beautiful weather all week and am hoping it still will be today as they enjoy the outdoors.
Me - laundry. Depending on how much I get done, I may go to the thrift store and see if there is anything 'new' there...new to me anyway. Am going to get the mums I want for the table on the porch and the stump out front also. The chairs and table are back in place and I just need that 'pop' of color to finish it off.

Signs of the Zodiac
SCORPIO (October 23-November 22)
The Scorpion or the Eagle. Ruling planet: Pluto. Element: Water. Quality: Willpower. Ability: To focus on goals.You are the strongest members of the zodiac. Because of this, there is no middle road for you: Choose the high road or the low road, but choose you must. Unlike the other astrological signs of strength, you don’t waste it showing it off. You wait until you truly want something and then focus your will on your goals, drawing them in like a fisherman reels in his net. You have the capacity to get what you want.
I hope you find the perfect mums. You are so right, they add the zing for fall color!!
ReplyDeleteI love your porch. What a great place to relax. From what I know about you, that zodiac is fairly accurate. I know it's a perfect description of my youngest daughter (Nov. 15).
ReplyDeleteI hope Jim has a great time and you have a good day.
Mums are great. When we lived in Jacksonville, Fla. I planted them out front every year. Haven't done that here, yet.
ReplyDeleteThe porch is looking so cozy. Now ya gotta sit out there with hot tea, warm scones and a good book. Yummmmm .... ~:)
Glad that Jim is out in God's beautiful creation today. I hope that Jim has a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteHoping you found that perfect something as you shop today. Isn't it fun! And...I love the pop of color that mums bring. The yellow mums are brilliant this year. Sending you love and warmest hugs,
Jackie
Hope Jim had a good day today - and you too!
ReplyDeleteI have to get some mums and pumpkins to brighten my porch.
I always enjoy hearing what happened on this day in history.
Happy Birthday early. Abe's is the 25th. mine is the 27th. What can i say, we're all in great company. LOL Have a terrific Sunday. Hope your hubby's day went well.
ReplyDeleteWell, please be sure to tell us about Jim's fishing today! If he catches some, will he bring them home or turn them loose?
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks so pretty, and you are right that the mums will be the perfect pop of color, to finish it off.
My mom and dad were both Scorpios and so is our granddaughter! Hard to believe another year has flown by!! Good grief!
Wishing you a blessed Sunday!!
