It has been a busy week here, lots of adulting to be done - my annual wellness exam, blood draw, making appointments for a mammogram and bone density scan. And some business to be done on my mom's finances. But I have had a little fun! 😉
On Halloween, carving this little pumpkin from my garden last summer!
At Mom's place, they had everyone dressed up and trick or treaters came through. The gals there did an amazing job figuring out costumes for everyone, and decorating for the event.
When I went back to visit again a couple days ago, everything was switched over to fall and Thanksgiving. I think this little squirrel and his fire pit are so cute!
Here we are in November, and the alyssum in my flower garden are still blooming like crazy!
I just love these!
Hope you're having a great week!

Love your fall colors on your table with that beautiful pumpkin - congratulations on such a successful grow! The decorations at your Mom's place are so cute.
Good luck with your "adulting". I have to get a diagnostic mammogram with possible ultrasound today. I've had to get that off and on for many years after a mammogram, and it always turns out to be "density", but I hate not to do it - just in case!
Cute squirrel. This is my favorite time of year! I love Thanksgiving, and got my pilgrims out this past weekend. Time to watch the Peanuts Thanksgiving special too. My Thanksgiving cactus has burst into bloom, so it is well and truly November.
Nice decorations. We are still decorated for fall here until the Christmas things come out in early December. The flowers are still blooming here too. It was 22 degrees Celsius yesterday. (72 F). Crazy weather. Gail at the cozy quilter.
That is very cute with the squirrel and his fire. Love your pumpkin. I didn't carve any this year, but I did put one in for the chickens to peck at. My mums in the front bed are finally blooming again, just in time for Thanksgiving.
What did your mom dress up as for Halloween? I too still have a couple flowers blooming.
What a fun way to spend Halloween for your mom. I too wanted to know what her costume was. It's hard to believe it is November already. . .time flies!
The pumpkin looks perfect. The decorations at your mom's place are cute. I love that the workers dressed everyone up and they had trick or treaters come through. It sounds like she is in a nice place. Love the color in your alyssum.
That sounds like fun for you Mom. We got a record number of trick or treaters this year. Do you get many in your neighbourhood?
What a kind, thoughtful place for your mother. I too love that little squirrel!
I am so happy that your Mom is in an activate living place--how fun!! Love your little quilt under the pumpkin--sweet colors together--I live in the Florida flood area--but stayed fairly dry right here--we are still under a 'boil water' notice!! hugs, di
I hope all went well with your yearly exams, Diann. I hope your Mom had a lot of fun seeing the trick or treaters come through. It is so wonderful that her home is active and decorated for the holiday season. Your jack-o-lantern is fabulous! I love his perfect smile. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
Someone is creative at your mom’s place….the squirrel and fire are adorable!
What a cute pumpkin! What fun decorations at your mom's place. :-)
Isn't it strange how when we're retired, having those adult things to do seem to take up an entire week and also exhaust us?! Like how did we do that when we were teaching full-time, not to mention looking after our own children? Yay for flowers still blooming in November, as many in my own garden still are, though I also feel worried because it's yet another indication of climate change.
Yeah the adulting stuff never seems to end does it? Love your carved pumpkin, very cute. Hope you mother enjoyed her Halloween.
Nun musste ich gleich schauen, wie deine wunderschöne Blume bei uns heißt. Steinkraut - ich liebe es auch und bei uns blüht es im März/April in der Farbe gelb. Dein schönes Lila gefällt mir sehr gut. Ich wünsche dir, dass es noch viele Tage für dich blüht und dich erfreut.
Liebe Grüße sendet dir
Petra
