Rambling Thoughts on a Friday …

Posted on Oct. 5, 2007 at 10:15 AM

- October  -

How did it get to be October already? Where did the rest of the year go? I am loving the cooler weather. It is still hot but better. :)

- Scorpion -  

I am sad to report that our “pet” scorpion … who we named Exodus because that is what he was soon to do …has died. We are not good scorpion keepers! It was very interesting to watch him for several days. We gave him a cricket to eat but all they did was wonder around and jump at and away from each other. And I can say that crickets are defiantly not vegetarians … the cricket was caught feasting on Exodus dead remains!

- Gardening -  

We have finally begun working on our Fall yard and garden to do list … more on my homestead blog …

- Cooking -  

Our newest adventure ... sourdough.

- Silly things –

Is it really October or maybe it is December?! Here at our house we are having a temporary December. We listened to Christmas music yesterday, started making lists of projects/gifts we need to start working on and even watched a Christmas movie last night!!! More Christmas music today and then back to October we will go.

I LOVE Christmas music! :-) And Christmas movies, too.

Sorry about the scorpion...

I enjoyed visiting your blog today. I came via Bethany's blog, which was via Katherineleigh, which was via Brittanyrose, who is my daughter. Whew! Anyway, I enjoyed visiting and hope to come again soon both here and your homestead blog. I will have to tell my Brittany about your daughters blogs. Their blogs seem like the kind of atmosphere I don't mind my daughter being at....judging by Bethany's blog. We have a Bethany as well...she's only three.
Please come see me soon at my blog if you'd like. You're welcome anytime!
In Jesus,

Susan

I must confess...

... I have sourdough starter sitting in a zip lock baggie on the counter... for several weeks... maybe months. :/ But I've not got the gumption to start it yet...

I heard it's good for South Beachers... which we are trying to be. I feel like I need to read more about it. (hint, hint). Ü

Already starting to think of Christmas! Oh my, it will be here before we know it. I admire that your starting to get organized already. I guess I need to start too.

Hi Rachelle!

I love the name of your 'poor' scorpin. Very fitting.
But Christmas? Lol, j/k. I need to get through October and all the birthday's before I can focus on Christmas. Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Vicki

Donna O from hk. I linked here from Dawn (fourjewels). You are encouraging me to get started with Christmas. If October can creep up so quickly, I can imagine how fast the next 10 1/2 weeks will go by! Enjoy your cooler weather. I woke up to a chilly 34 degrees!

So glad to see you're blogging again

I can't wait to read about your adventures in Sourdough. I've been experimenting also, but haven't blogged about it since I've had lots of flops.
Check out my latest post, I've tagged you for this fun remembrance of what we were doing 10-20-and 30 years ago.

Christmas in October was quite fun! :)

I love you Mom,

Love your daughter, Bethany
