the week's happenings
Monday: sleep deprived from staying up late on Sunday night. But hey, we just love to fellowship with y'all. Sleep deprivation is totally worth it. At least I think so.
Tuesday: the wood stove was supposed to be put in, but the parts hadn't arrived.
Wednesday: I finished my Arwen dress. Pictures to come...
Today: the wood stove was installed. Yay! Now for a fire tomorrow morning. Double yay! I went to choir, and Emmy did another braid. Thanks! Then Mom picked me up, and we went to JoAnn's. That is a dangerous place. Not only do you splurge when you see the Italian wool/cotton yarn, the cotton yarn, the baby yarn, and the Butterick patterns, all on sale, but you get yelled at by the old lady in the phone booth, um, I mean bathroom. And now I am sitting here typing away on the laptop, shivering. Shivering because it RAINED!!! For the first time in a long time. And it is cold again, after a rather warm spell. Perhaps Fall is here to stay? When will the roses on my rose bush wither, and not show their faces again till spring? When will it be Winter? Soon. Christmas is only 56 days away! Oh my! It seems as if yesterday it were January. As I get older, time flies faster, and faster... and I am not that old. :-) I should sign off. Good night!

a poem
October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow, The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners, And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollow, At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown, And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder; They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended In jolly "hands around."
-George Cooper

The first day of Autumn, and a blog Award!
Today is the first day of Autumn! I am so excited. I love this time of year. Unfortunately, I am sick (so is Sam, Mom, Jake, and Joe). Runny noses, sore throats, aching heads. Ugh. But I still plan to make some fall treats today. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins, anyone?
I haven't been very smiley yesterday or today, due to being sick, but Momma Bug, you made my day! She gave me the Brillante Weblog award. Thank you Momma Bug! I am going to award it to some of my favorite blogs, which I think are brillante, and always make me smile!
To my Mother, who's blog is calm and peaceful.
To Andi, who's blog is happy and cheerful.
For Christina. I love to read your blog!
To Rachel, who's blog is just like her!
To Laurie. Your blog is thought provoking and wonderful.
To Amy (who I don't know in person). Your blog is a breath of fresh air.
I wish I could give the award to all the blogs which make me smile! But that would take far to long...

Fall Harvest
An almost ready pumpkin.
A not quite ready pumpkin.
A pumpkin plant sprouted earlier this year, next to our front porch. We were looking forward to having pumpkins for fall decoration. Alas, as they started, and then stopped growing, we realized that they were little pumpkins! How cute!
