Crop Club

I'm still pooped from yesterday. I had fun, it was a good crop. I managed to get a little bit accomplished. Not as much as the other ladies but did good for me, lol! I did my interpretaion of Novembers Sketch Challenge. Its not complete as I haven't done the journaling and found my little Jolee's seagulls to stick on there. I may do my journaling on vellum, not quite sure yet. What do you think? I could use some suggestions.
I suppose I should have just taken a shower and gone to bed last night when I got all my stuff hauled in the house and my chores done(hungry critters).
But nooooooooooooooooooo, since I had packed up most of my supplies on my scrapbooking table for the crop I decided it was time to move my table from in front of the fireplace (getting that time of the year, you know) and re-organize it. Well that took until 11:30 but did get to watch Brothers and Sisters (Kittys preggie, omg!!). I have yet to do the vaccuming. I wasn't quite that rambunctious last night.I will enjoy going home this eve to a nice organized workspace*grins* and I'm all set up to do things for the craft show. :)

Autumn

Someone asked me this morning what my 3 favorite things about Autumn were and don't choose the obvious like leaves or pumpkins.

Hmmmm, after I thought about it for a minute I said...

1. the clean crisp air without the humidity
2. Christmas is just around the corner and...
3. its almost time to get the fireplace going!
and pumpkin pie aint bad either!

Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons next to Spring. I feel good in the Fall. I do wonder about Global warming and what that is going to do to our Fall. Will there come a day when the leaves don't fall?

What are your 3 favorite things?

Gee, 6 months since I was last here

and it was raining! They say we'll have some showers here this afternoon but I'm not holding my breath. It is so dry. We've barely had any rain all summer. Here it is October and its in the 80s!!! Yes.. here in MD in the 80s!

I'm certainly not doing a good job at keeping up with my Blog. The motherboard in my computer died so that kept me offline for over a month.

I'm trying to get back on track with my scrapbooking. I've fallen so far behind but then again I haven't taken many pictures this year. Lacking inspiration I suppose. I thought this time of year I would go track down some beautiful foliage shots but its been so dry most leaves are turning brown and falling.

My biggest news of late, last month was my birthday and I celebrated my setting up a 10 gallon aquarium and put 4 baby goldfish from my pond in it. We're approaching 5 weeks now and they are doing great. I like watching them and seeing their colors change. It will be interesting to compare them with their siblings (still out in the pond) next spring.

I did try to take some pictures of them. Boy, that was challenging from lighting to glare to action. I'm to embarrassed tp post them here but I'll keep trying until I get some good ones. I'd love some tips!

I'm off for now as I'm at work and need to start looking like I'm doing something, heehee. Now that I know my password I'll be back soon. :)

Rain, Rain Go Away!!!!

Good grief, we must have had 4" or more by now.... Its a good thing its not 20 degrees colder cuz this would all be SNOW!!! We had some snow a week ago but it didn't stay around for long, although it did cover the ground. Its been many years since I remember a snow after Easter!

This northeastern we're having, water everywhere yesterday, strong wind today and I mean strong, 30-50mph. Sounds like the roof here at work is going to fly off.

Please, please bring back spring!! We had that little tease for about a week than it plunged back in the 20's at night.

I really want to get out in my yard, my pond has been dug and is full of muddy water at the moment. The fence is about to go up, yeahhhhhhh!!! :) *big smiles* here
