Life Moves Pretty Fast

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  ―  Ferris Bueller It's so true. Last week I was checking out my many rose bushes and wondering when they would bloom. They seem late this year.  A few days later I was outside chasing one of my little dogs. She is losing her hearing and sight, but I swear her little legs are running faster than ever. It's never been like her to run off. While I was running after her (or more like hobbling and limping) I noticed a couple of bushes with a few roses.  After I got the pup settled and inside, I went back out to cut a few roses. The bees even took pity on me and allowed me to cut some of their sage blossoms. I placed the pretty little vase from my Mother's collection by a few Paris mementos.

A Touch of Halloween

October, November, and my birthday month of June, just happens to be my favorite months. I love the fall weather, and all of the changes it brings - especially after a busy summer. For me, it is a time to start "nesting" and do those inside projects like reading, cooking, and crafting.

My favorite holidays are also in the fall, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving. Sure, who doesn't love Christmas spending time with family and friends, but Thanksgiving just seems a bit simpler, yet still quite bountiful.

As a youngster, I have wonderful memories of Halloween, from the planning of costumes, trick 'r treating at our friend's and grandparent's house - to even memories of looking out the back seat of our car window, after a busy evening of  trick 'r treating, hoping to find the shadow of a witch flying across the moon.

Today, I still love decorating for Halloween. I have boxes of Halloween decor I have collected through the years, but this year just a few subtle little touches. 
Who-who-who would ever find him up there?
