FRIDAY THIS N THAT-FINAL OCTOBER IDEAS

 

I am one of those weird people

(..I hear those of you that KNOW me..)

Anyway, I am one of those weird people

that STILL keeps notebooks of ideas.

Yeah, yeah--I know all about

Pinterest and the internet but

there is something satisfying to me

about sitting down and looking through a

BOOK OF IDEAS.

I have one notebook for each season..

(well- Christmas has 3 or 4 binders)

These are all loose leaf 3 ring binders

filled with page protectors full

of inspirations and ideas.

Being as it IS Fall now..

I pulled my

PUMPKIN COLORED

notebook out.

Inside you will find things like this:

Yep- Here's the binder~

Yes! They are colored for each Season-

White For Snow/Winter.

Red For Christmas.

Pink for Little Girl Ideas.

Blue For Little Boy Ideas.

Yellow For Easter Ideas.

Green For Gardening/Outdoor Ideas.

And a slew of white ones with

typed cover inserts.

Well, you get the picture.

But for Fall

(and Halloween)

I dug out the Pumpkin Colored binder.

Here are a few of the images I have saved.

These are pictures of magazine pictures

so don't expect award winning 

photography on my part...ok...

no whining about it either.

I have always loved window boxes..

and I like the earthy simplicity

 of this one.

and a  white pumpkin surrounded by Fall gatherings...

A peek at a birdbath that is

Closed for the Season

(poor birds)

And the path of pumpkins

that leads you through an arbor..

And brings you home to this..

A place to spend an afternoon,

or an evening,

or a life time.

I have had these images for many years

and don't know WHERE they are from...

but Thank You to the people

that photographed these.

Now..

Please excuse me..

I am headed to Starbucks...

to get a latte.

Can you say..

Pumpkin Spice Latte?

Sigh-sadly, I don't do sugar but

if you do...

OH BOY! OH BOY! OH BOY!

Now wipe the drool off your chin

and get busy (did I SAY you were lazy)?!

                             Hmmm...would that be what they mean

                                  by the pot calling the kettle black?

You KNOW you need to get ready for 

this final week of October, right?!

I do, too...

(if you are already done I DON'T want to know about it-m'kay...like I don't feel bad enough already?!)

Have a wonderful weekend.

I am going to try to get a couple

more rides in the VW bug

with the top down.

Soon she will be stored for winter

and I might spend a couple of weeks

in mourning.
