Beautiful Pumpkin Squash & Ghourds

What a beautiful array of colors I found at my local grocer ... love the little white pumpkins ... they are so perfect and the bright pumpkin squash ...had to add a couple of ghords to the mix. I bought these to put out in my planters ... but they look so nice in my treen bowl on the coffee table that I think they will stay inside. The kitty kinda like them ... they must have the earthy smell to them! Anyway had to take a photo ... of course a few more to liven up the blog today! My little "keeper" made his way into the pics as well! I can't believe how my little guy is growing up! Adam has started the fifth grade out well (so far)! He is lovin his teachers, and classmates and the overall routine of fifth grade. Anyway wanted to share with you today ... hope your day is going well ~ mine will continue with some housework, crafting and ending with baseball tonight ... boys have a game and what a beautiful day to have it...sunshine all about! Dinner is in the crock pot ... just a roast which 3 out of the 4 in our family will eat! Mr. Keeper will not ... grilled cheese again for him! I think that is why he stays so darn skinny!! I am going to be approaching my 20th follower and it is time for a FREE giveaway so stayed tuned it will be announced on the next day or so ...til then, have yourself a great day and blog with ya soon! ~~ Bobbie

Music on my Blog

I just read a complaint about music playing on websites and blogs. I am sorry if it offends anyone out there. My feeling is this, it is not on my website but it is obviously on my blog. Blogging is a personal touch to who you are and what you like. On my website I don't have it for a couple of reasons, one is if you are shopping while at work It is less distracting. Also, websites reach a wide variety of people that are shopping on this site for a variety of reasons and I choose not put music on it. I am a primitive/country site ~ uplifting sometimes to "shop" I think that store owners want you to have a cozy feeling of being in their store and it is in a form of welcoming eventhough you are not in a brick and mortar shop. I was just amused in the fact that this person had to say that they would not spend their money in someones store that plays music on the site and/or the blog....now isn't that silly ...you shop in brick and mortar stores (ie: Walmart) don't ya? You can't turn it off there but certainly on the site that you are visiting ... oh well that is my feelings and wanted to state this to anyone reading my blog ... I don't do it to annoy or push anyone away and sorry if it offends! ~~Bobbie Have a peaceful rest of your day!

Finally Decorating For Fall...

Well it has been a busy week ... and some lack of motivation to get some of my fall things out and into groupings ... I love this time of the year and love to change around my home but this week took some pushing .... and really it is not done! I love to take pictures because you can see through them what looks nice together and what just does not belong. You may think it looks good but just does not look right in that photo! I love digital cameras! Anyway I took a few of my favorite little guys that resurrected from their storage bin ... some oldies and one new one for this year ...courtesy of my Mom ~ thanks Mom! Anyway this weekend is sure to be busy in the Horan home. Hopefully some continued sunny skies are in our forecast. I hope your weekend will be a nice one also ... until I blog again take care and God bless! ~~Bobbie (PS...be sure to follow me on Twitter!!)
