FALL IS FALLING ---READY OR NOT~

I don't know about 

where you live
but I can feel
Fall in the air.
I noticed some of our trees have leaves 
that are tinged with color. 

Remember before Pinterest?

I had books-

lots and lots of 

loose leaf books.

They were full of ideas 

and things that I love.

I am digging a few of them out for 

FALL IDEAS.

Most of them came from 

Better Homes & Gardens Magazine.

Outside, I am smitten by this.

Fall is moving in 
but there is 

lots of green left.

I would love to have 

chairs and plants

that looked like this.

How about a little corner 

of the garden

decorated like this?

At the end of the day

 what could be better than 

hanging out by a firepit?

Know what else is magical 

about Fall?

A Fall Fairy Garden?

Do you remember when 

the  little girls and I
used to put together a
 Fairy Garden 

of our very own?

Here is what it looked like 
when we first made it.

Want to know how it looks 

decorated for Fall?

We let the fairies 

take care of their own garden.

Can you spot the house?

Stinking Fairies!!!!

Hope you have a 
wonderful day and 
enjoy every last moment
of pre-winter weather because
WINTER

will soon be upon us---

ready or not! 

UPDATE ON JOHN'S HEALTH

 GOOD MORNING!

John is home and 

Scruffy is back to sleeping with

one of his 'babies'.

He did not eat the whole time 

John was in the hospital.

I did a follow up post on Facebook

but then realized that not all bloggers

are part of the FB community--

so decided to do an update here.

John came home from the hospital

late Sunday.

They don't really have any answers yet

but he has 4 more appointments with 

specialists to see if they can get things

figured out.

They altered his meds a bit and we are hopeful

that will help with the dizziness

and low blood pressure.

I will keep you all posted as things progress.

LIFE UPDATE~

 GOOD MORNING!

Several of you have reached out to me

to ask how John is doing.

As a 7+ year three time cancer survivor,

these last few months have been rough.

I believe his condition can be 

attributed to the

extensive radiation to his head/neck

and the chemo he recieved....

but then...what do I know? 

As of today, John is in the hospital.

He has been passing out 

more and more frequently.

He had an episode on 

Thursday night and fell.

I ended up calling 911 and the 

rescue squad took him to the ER.

It is the same hospital 

he used to work at

as a chaplain.

They are taking good care of him

and trying to figure out 

why his blood pressure

drops to 50/30 at times.

Our little 'boyo' misses him and

is sad while waiting for him

to come home.

He grabbed one of John's washcloths

and keeps it with him.

Keep John in your prayers

as we wait for answers.

Thank you all!
