I've found myself with another very busy week. Wedding invitations to get ready, special little ones to spend time with during their visits, appointments to keep, and work that will not wait. Through it all, I am thoroughly enjoying the Fall season. I wish it would last longer.

My grandma's old market basket gets filled many different ways throughout the year. Now on my porch it is filled with pumpkins and ghords from the farm.

Roadside stands like this one grace the landscape of our county. I thought the yellow mums would brighten up my porch.


I was right.
It amazes me that little touches like yellow flowers, along with the smiles of the little ones that visit me, can brighten up any week, even those consisting of overcast days of rain and wind.

The stop at a local McDonald's with a clean and well done indoor playground, was certainly one of their highlights of the week. I do not think a trip to DisneyWorld could have brought them any more happiness.

To top it off, a stop at the office to see their Pawpaw for a few minutes, after McDonalds. He walked out to our car(because that was easier than taking three out of their carseats again) and immediately he had them laughing, as he always does. I am so thankful for his sense of humor. I helps make life more enjoyable.

Another simple and quite ordinary post from me in my corner of the world.

Hoping you have time to enjoy Fall's beauty and bounty, and that sometime during your weekend you find some laughter. I heard it is good for one's soul.
