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.

Inspirations for the Weekend...

If you have been reading this blog then you know the motto is, "simple 'trimmings' for an elegant life... " The thought is that one can live an elegant and full life, yet in a simple and inexpensive way. 

 This is a busy weekend for many, as we participate in Halloween and Fall celebrations, which many are family events. Take the time to celebrate the season around you. Glean the last of your garden and create a feast. Venture to the nearest apple orchard and gather a box of apples and pears. Enjoy the bounty of the orchards by celebrating with fresh baked apple pies, or dipping apples in caramel. Take a stroll in the park or country, and gather acorns, chestnuts, and colorful leaves. Visit a pumpkin patch and pick out the most perfect one. Rake the leaves in your yard into a big pile, jump into them, and enjoy the fresh crisp air of autumn. Make a bonfire, and toast hot dogs and marshmallows. Be a "big kid" and wear a costume. Laugh a lot this weekend, and especially on Halloween.

Take the time to check out the sky. It is truly the finest of entertainment - an amenity of life that we sometimes take for granted. Through this weekend there will be a waning crescent moon. Make a wish on the brightest star.  Have a wonderful weekend.
