Cows, Pumpkins and Flip Flops

Today, we decided to head out to a farm to get pumpkins. It kind of went like this...we came, we saw, we went.  I will just tell you that we are used to fabulous Michigan apple orchards that offer horse drawn hayrides, pumpkins, apples and wonderful bakery fresh doughnuts, pies and so on.  Here in Ohio, either we picked a less than exciting farm, or it is just different than what I have grown used to visiting every fall.  Another odd thing was going out to get pumpkins and wearing flip flops because it was 75 degrees!  I can't complain about that one bit! 

Well, we were able to see a few animals, grab a few pumpkins and some cider and snap a few photos.  As far as the bakery fresh doughnuts or many varieties of apples to choose from...no such luck. 

Here is what I have got to share with you...

The results of what became of our pumpkins will be soon to come....

A Weekend Synopsis & A Recipe

Image
I am not sure about you but, my weekend seemed to come and go in a wink!  As a whole, it was a pretty good weekend too.  I was able to spend some time with my brother and catch up a bit.  We have been having some issues communicating with each other recently and neither one of us could seem to get through to the other.  I decided that I didn't want to continue on with us each being too stubborn to reach out and put whatever stupid things we weren't quite seeing eye to eye on, behind us.  As I have said a hundred times before... Life is too short. I made the right choice.  Everything is good now and back on the positive again.  He is the only brother that I have, I want to nurture the relationship, not let it crumble beneath me.  I love you, Michael. A few low points of the weekend were hearing the news of a runner in the Chicago Marathon  that died 500 yards before the finish line. I don't know this man at all but, in my eyes, I bel...

Just Another Bump in the Road

WOW!  I haven't written on my blog in EIGHT months!  On one hand, I can't believe it. On the other, I know exactly why I haven't posted on the random happenings in my life. I have been happier than ever in this new season of my life.  My relationships with family and friends are great.  I'm still so very in love with Chris and am enjoying the life we share together.   From a birds eye view, everything seems to be going well in my life. So, what, do you ask, is the hang up?  This, my friends, was a mystery to me as well. I have been feeling fatigue like I have never experienced in my life. I thought that perhaps my iron was low, as it had been in the past.  I also have had frequent headaches that at times would occur daily.  My stomach has been a mess for as long as I can remember but, has gotten worse over the last year.  My mind hasn't been clear as it always was, in fact, its been very foggy. My bones have ached and ...

Thankful Thursday...My Blog

Image
Good Morning! Here in Michigan, I woke up to a morning that was dark as night, cold and very rainy.  You know, the type of morning that you would rather pull the covers over your head?  I still was trying to be positive, despite the fact that my sweet dog got wrapped around a tree in the backyard.  Him doing so, required me to go out in the rain and darkness, hoping that I didn't step in a pile of fresh dog poop.  I was so happy, and I am pretty sure that it was lucky for my dog as well, that I did NOT step in a landmine of his. Lord forgive me for the unkind words that I muffled under my breath about my dog. I was simply irritated and in an instant, it got the best of me. He is such a good dog and I love him, he just makes me crazy in times such as these. Yes, this is going to be a great day!   It is Thankful Thursday  today! Today, I am writing the post that I had planned on last Thursday. Last Thursday was the first birthday of my blog. Today,...
