It looks like it will be another beautiful autumn day; and here I am at home with my youngest still recovering from what I think was the flu.  Sometimes I feel like such a bad mom.  I thought he was pretty well over it so we've been out and about and doing things outside the house the past couple days.   Then last night his temp started creeping back up.  Ugh!  So he and I stayed home from church today.

I do hope to get outside later today though.  It seems like there is so much that needs to be done before it gets too cold and winter sets in.  Plus, I love being outdoors.  It's invigorating and always lifts my mood.  So maybe, just maybe, I'll work a bit in the garden. . .or get the windows washed on the outside. . .or get my roses and lavender ready for winter.  We'll see!
