Whatcha workin' on Wednesday

Well, I've always got too many projects going on at once, but my main ones are trying to figure out what to do with the separator (see an earlier post) and then re-doing this old wardrobe cabinet.

I've drug it outside on the front porch and plan to start working on it in a few. It's hot out and so humid! Ugh! It's never this warm in Oct. in Indiana! lol

I got the cabinet a few years ago. Our church was having a community day rummage sale. A friend had her booth right next to mine. She had this marked $75. I told her I loved it...and she said I could HAVE it!!! We went round and round. She said it had been in storage for eons and she just wanted it gone. WOOHOO!! Remember how people put wallpaper inside these way back when? This still had the dry brittle paper on the inside walls. The wooden rod is still there. I can't imagine this being someone's "closet"!

Anyway, I've been using it "as is" for too long now. It sits right outside my kitchen and houses the trash can, brooms, mops and other supplies.

So, I'm gonna grab me a diet Pepsi and head out to the garage to see what color paints I've got out there. I'd better have me some black! lol

And the winner is....

We had 11 sign-up for the free autumn giveaway. Each entry was assigned a number according to the order you signed up.

My "Official" way (LOL) of choosing a winner...I hollered at my hubby, who was in the kitchen, to choose a number between 1 and 11 and he hollered back "Why?" LOL and I hollered back "cause!" He hollered back "7"

And so the winner is..............................................................

JERRI SIKEL!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to Jerri!

Thank you to everyone else who signed up!!! Be watching for more awesome giveaways to come!

What to do?

This old separator sat in my grandparents yard for decades. We brought it home, hosed off all the mud and I'm still wondering what I can do with it.

My grandma, who passed away 19 years ago, always stuck plastic flowers in it. lol

My mom, who hates the primitive look, says I need to spray paint it. My thoughts were, YIKES! lol

But, I'm wondering what you think. Please give me some great ideas!

I do have a covered front porch that it will sit on.

Character

Be careful what you think...

Your thoughts become your words...

Your words become your actions...

Your actions become your habits...

Your habits become your character.

Your character is everything.

I saw this saying on the wall of a local restaurant and liked it so much I wrote it down on a scrap of paper.

Montana weather

My friend Jerri Lynn lives in Montana, near Billings. She took this photo at her house last Saturday:

And she took this photo of the same scene today!:

Her poor pumpkins are buried! They are to get 19" of snow this weekend!

It's 80* at my house, which is really weird for October!

Autumn in my neck of the woods

I turned into our driveway a couple days ago and liked how the sun was splaying across the yard and the big tree in front of our house.

I took this pic of the cornfield across the road today.

Relishing one of life's simplest pleasures

A moment of solace, relishing one of life's simplest pleasures. My favorite chair. And nothing to do. With my knees tucked up underneath my chin and my arms wrapped around my legs, I nestle back to take in the evening's grand display. Before I know it, I am engulfed by the infinite oranges and pinks emblazoned across the sky. An instant explosion of colors. My soul bursts with joy just to receive this gift of wonder. Can any other moment compare with this one? As the sun slowly dips beneath the horizon, the moment slips away, leaving behind the distinct sensation that God is near, that He is here.--Wendy Greenberg
