Good Bye Irene !!!

Good Bye Irene ~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She came in with lots of rain, and fierce wind.

We lost our power but thankfully hubby had the

generator up, and going in no time at all.

This keeps the freezer & refrigerator going

and we can use our well water.

We were well prepared with all

the notice we received.

Also all the battery candles I have

made each and every room

look so warm & cozy.

Our power has now been restored.

Over seven hundred thousand still

with out power in CT.

Untold amounts up and down the East Coast.

Keeping all the crews out there

working in my prayers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the daylight we assessed the damage here

on the property and down our road. 

We did loose a few trees in the yard, and

had a few down across the road

but all in all no serious damage.

We are Thankful and considering

ourselves very Lucky & Blessed.

Same with all our Family that is scattered

all over CT, NY, and NJ.

Hope you & yours are all well & safe.

Sending Good Thoughts,

Blessings & Hugs

Three Little PumPkins ~~

"Three Little PumPkins sittin on a fence

trying to make a Dollar out of ninety nine cents. "

Yup got my first real PumPkins of the Season

last Saturday ... right down the road a piece.

Normally cant find any in CT this early but

our neighbor/farm stand guy Tom got them in just for

me ...... almost cause an accident as I screamed

STOP to hubby when I spotted them.

We usually head to PA early Sept

to find my first pickins  but boy am I  happy

to see these cute little orange orbs

sittin in my kitchen. 

I know alot of you aren't ready

yet .... but I so Love the Fall and all

that comes with it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today we went down for some fresh picked corn

and he gifted me with this Beauty .....

(the only one he had)

Can ya believe the size of the stalk,

and look at the deep grooves, and I love the tall shape.

I was Giddy I was so Excited, he was way too busy to

give me the scoop ( variety & where it was grown).

As soon as I can I will bring him down some home-made

TreaT ....  Thank him again,  and get the story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am counting down the days for a camping 

trip to PA.  Fingers crossed I can make the

Fall Open Houses at my favorite shops.

Visit with my Friends, Purchase some Treasures

and come back with lots of Inspiration & Memories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wishing you all the Best of what

Summer has left to offer ~~
