Warm Days, Cool Nights!

      That's the way the weather has been this past week. The leaves are changing and the angle of the sun is definitely different than in summer! But it is still hot! I love the crisp, cool mornings and cooler evenings after sundown, though. We took in some beautiful sights over the weekend, going to yard sales Saturday, then to Mentone, Sunday. It was our son's sixteenth birthday so he drove us around Sunday. Here are some photos of our excursions:

Fire Fun.

You can really tell this is only primer on the door. My wreath left over from last year that I made with 50% off items! I added some glittery sticks from the Dollar Tree this  year.

Friday's yard sale finds, wooden plaques, hoops, spool stand, vase and baby jeans.

Winterlynn really loved the apples we got from Ellijay! She kept on getting them out and biting them.

My two-dollar yard sale purse. I love it!

Hubby loves to play with the children, and they love him! Her first ride in a wheel barrow.

Look at those bare feet! They're taking the corn over to the chickens.

Winterlynn loves to look at her reflection in the window as she rides her pony.

Weeeeee!!!!

I finally got a face view since it was his birthday.

Hubby is working on the flower bed out front and is now building an arbor. I can't wait to see it finished!

Skyline views from Mentone, AL.

An old inn in Mentone. Festival in front.

We drove to Canyon's after Mentone. Of course we rode in the Jeep!

Saturdays yard sales were all about crafts. The hoop was glued so it splintered when I tried to remove the material. I will check next time.

      Hope you enjoyed your visit! Come back soon! Leave a comment if you wish.

Friday finds!

My first omelet! Need to do something with all those eggs!

Scores from last Friday's yard sales. One dollar each on the candle sticks!

Little girls name-brand clothing, one dollar each!

Ten dollar rocking horse for five dollars! Going to paint it.

      I went to yard sales this morning and here is what I found:

Several wooden hoops, some .25 some .75; infant blue jeans, .25, spool holder, 1.00, plaques
1.00 and 2 @2.00 wooden beads,.25 ,and wooden ring thrown in. Total:$10.50!

I wasn't even expecting to find these items, but you never know what you're going to find at yard sales!



Here are some photos of last weekends excursion in Ellijay GA:

Love the "old" new courthouse.

The mountains surrounding Ellijay are beautiful!

Two half-bushels of delicious apples!

     Have more to share. Keep checking back!

Things sure are pretty around here!

      IF you could only smell how heavenly these roses smell! The pics don't do them justice!

A glimpse of the fall color on the leaves;geese and chickens in the background.

The top of the old rock quarry between the trees. Pile of dirt under black plastic

Close-up of the quarry.

      I love how things look this time of year, but these sights will continue to get even more beautiful before winter.


      We went to Ellijay GA this past weekend for the purpose of attending the Apple Festival, but there were so many people that we decided to forego the festival and walk around the square instead. The town is old and small and had many vendors set up. There are also several antique stores we enjoyed browsing through.

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Sausage dip  to eat while watching the Bama game.

Eggs for the day.

Beautiful butterfly on the butterfly bush.

Six jars of jalepeno jelly.

Scores from Saturdays yard sales. Big bag of pink, white, and brown tulle for three dollars.

Shoes to fit the girls; four dollars for five pairs! They look new still!

      I'm all excited about fall! We finally have had a few days and nights of much cooler weather! I did have to put on shorts and shorts sleeves today after lunch, though, and probably every day this week, it will gradually get warmer. But at least now the days of less humidity are upon us! I'm also excited about Betif and Yasmine's safe return from Morocco. I can hardly wait to see her smiling face again! Maybe they'll be here tomorrow for April's 

      I had a great time Saturday with my hubby as we spent the whole day yard sale-ing. We left out before eight and got back about four-thirty that afternoon. There were eighty yard-sales listed in the paper! Needless to say, we didn't make it to all of them , but we got some pretty neat stuff. I've also been into my fall crafts, painting pumpkins and making a fall banner. Here are some pics. Have a great day! Leave me a comment, if you wish.

I painted these pumpkins.

Happy fall ya'll banner.

I painted the white pumpkin.

Other white pumpkin I painted.

The banner doesn't show up as well in the daylight.
