As we say Goodbye to the Summer months and move on to Autumn our weather here must be taking notes. Although it has been a little sunny and warm over the weekend, we woke this morning at 5.00am to find it misty and overcast! Some of our leaves are starting to fall too, so we are definitely getting into the swing of Autumn. I have also noticed it from the amount of Autumn posts on Instagram!! Also quite a few Christmas ones too, including there are only sixteen Fridays until Christmas!!!!
The children are back at School this week for the start of the new year and before we know it, it will be Halloween! I did see a funny Instagram post the other day of Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson in Hocus Pocus where she is leaning out of the window saying “oh look another glorious morning, it makes me sick…” 🙂 Hocus Pocus was a great favourite in our home and especially at Halloween.
We got quite a lot done at the weekend and the Boys old Den/Fort that they used for years is now down and put out for the bonfire and we will be replacing it with a small utility shed to store the mower and other machinery in. We got some bits in the garden done too.
DH and I also got our new mattress delivered on Saturday morning and it is one of those purchases I hate to make because I am never sure if we have made the right choice. Will it be the right firmness? Will it make us too hot? Will we actually sleep better on it? Fortunately we bought it from John Lewis and if it is one of their mattresses you get sixty days to try it and if it is not right you can exchange it. So after two nights DH thinks it is great (although he could sleep on a washing line!) me, I am not so sure!!!!!
This week is a quiet week for business as not that many meetings just work, I will be with Eldest at the garage on Wednesday and then next weekend is the first of the two day events for DH announcing. I am hoping that I will get some time on Friday to plan out my Quilting that I want to get done over the coming month.
Coco didn’t get any sleep, but she did have a sit down for a bit for a rest!!!
I hope you lovely lot had a great weekend and a good week to come.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
I love Autumn but we haven’t gotten any color change yet but it’s coming! We have a beautiful day today and temps will go down into the 40’s tonight! yipppeeeeee. We hope the hot and humid temps are gone for good!
What a good helper you are, Coco!
We had a cold snap the end of August – I had to dig out the long underwear for work!!! Back up to nice early autumn/late summer weather, for now! 90s during the day and 50s at night. Best thing about being in the high mountain desert is that the temps do go down 20-40 degrees at night, so even though it can get hot during the day, the nights do cool off to comfortable! Coco had better catch up on her sleep this week, poor baby!! Supervising is so hard!
