Along Came a Spider....

      Happy Fall Ya'll! I've been waiting to say that! I took my camera outside with me today and snapped a few photos of nature. There were a couple of spiders along my path; thus the reason for my title. I think spiders are such unique creatures! There are so many different sizes and colors of them. I especially like garden spiders as they seem to have lots of colors. Along my path there were also some toad stools or mushrooms. I like to think of these as toadstools since they are quite large. They too, are such pretty colors. Like Fall! 

      The sun is still quite hot today even though the temps are in the upper 70's. It feels like the 80's unless you are in the shade. (It will be in the 80's the rest of the week.) I can still acquire a tan this time of year! The breeze is quite strong at times, making the chimes sound nice. We usually take them down in the winter cause the sound keeps me awake at night. We seem to have quite windy winters around here.

      I have kept myself busy working on my crafts and such. I really have enjoyed this new phase in my life! I love seeing things come together in a nice way; things I've made with my own hands! You will see what I've been up to in the photos below.

      Fall is a big birthday season for us. We celebrated a high school buddy of Randy's this past Saturday. It was nice to see old friends we haven't seen in quite a long time! I hope we get together with them all again soon! Randy's birthday is Thursday and April's is October the fourth. I will tell you the rest of the birthday's in October when that month begins. Needless to say, it's hard not to eat birthday cake! Some of them are really good! I only eat the good ones. 

      Thanks for reading and commenting on the recipe I shared in the last post. I hope you get to try it soon! Let me know if you do and how it turns out. I will be making some again real soon!

      I hope the weather is nice for ya'll this week! I can't wait for it to cool down just a little bit more! Have a great week! Blessings from Bama!

Isn't this garden spider lovely?

Now this spider is creepy! It was trying to attack the dirt-dobber or whatever that blue-winged insect is.

Perfect spot to sit awhile!

I think of morels when I see these mushrooms.

Some white mushrooms pushing up the leaves.

One of my favorite views.

I'm almost done with these shirts!

A plaster-of-Paris cast in play-dough.

I want to add 'boo' to the wreath.

The piece I'm trying to replicate with the plaster-of-Paris. It is so thin I don't know if it will work.

There are three missing pieces on top.

I've yet to start on this wreath. Maybe it will be for Valentine's Day instead!

The candy corns need another coat of paint. I enjoy painting, especially when I've got something on my mind.

Randy's dear, old friend, Knox Sharp Sr. He was the best man in our wedding.

The birthday boy, Knox Jr., getting a visit from the 'cryer'. She was hilarious!

His birthday cake, Bwhahahaha!
