This week's Give A Way!


Peppermint Oil by Beeyoutiful


You can read all about the benefits of Beeyoutiful's Peppermint Oil by clicking on the link above.  It's wonderful, has many therapeutic uses and comes from a top-notch company!

So, I've been thinking about what to have you do to enter this week's contest.  After the rain yesterday Baby Girl and I went outside to breathe some fresh air.  I love taking pictures after it rains.

Isn't the rain beautiful dripping off leaves?

And our mums...... yum.


Or do you prefer the wet driveway and leaves?

Or Baby Girl's pink soccer ball left in the yard........

Or just the fallen leaves in the freshly growing grass?

I know that there are a million things wrong with this picture when it comes to "the thirds" thing and all that, but I love it in so many ways.

Wet buds?

Hidden flowers?

Baby girl held this one for me......

And then a yellow jacket came for a sniff and left since we were there.......
Cool, huh?

Again, things right in the middle but I love this!!!

Mushrooms growing underneath the bushes....




Or the kids doing silly things like smelling leaves........?


Baby girl jumping in the leaves......

And then trying to scare the kitten.

Yum, wet flowers!

Leaves turning and blue sky after a very rainy day.....

And why are there feathers in the watering can???

What is your favorite part about fall?
Football?
Campfires?
Leaves?
Cool weather?

Just leave a comment and tell me what your favorite part about fall is...........
And remember to let me know how to get in touch with you!
Times up on Wednesday so comment away!

Photoshop CS3???

Yep- I've got it but have NO idea of what I'm doing with it.  All I can do is run some of Pioneer Woman's Actions and then even tweaking that seems daunting.
But here's one of Sparky.....
Not sure that I like it....
Or even what I did.

Help!

The new addition

Our family, like most homeschool families, has had an array of animals one might call pets.  We've had
  • a salamander
  • about 10 cats at one time or another
  • a dog
  • raised a baby robin
  • all sorts of spiders
  • one of those bright red shiny furry ant/wasp things
  • turtles
  • a frog here and there
  • fish
  • mice
  • and even considered a horse once
It has taken me a long time to weed our cats down to just 2----Fred (the 18 pound monstrosity) and Cruiser (the neighbors stray cat that somehow became ours).  Fred and Cruiser happily co exist with Sparky, our dog, who by the way weighs 1/2 of what Fred does.

So you can imagine my surprise when three weeks ago my husband and 2 boys come home from football practice with a stray cat that they found on the football field.  An 8 week old, flea infested, sweet little tabby kitten.  The fact that my husband let her in his truck at all is a miracle to me.  He's not a big cat fan.  When we married he inherited my cat with me.  Since that time, 13 years ago, I think we've had about 10 cats.

So here is our newest addition.....Raider (an appropriate name for a girl cat found on The Raider's football field).  Don't you think??




Sweet and asleep last night after playing outside and climbing trees all day....

And just for comparison.....a photo beside Fred who was none too happy about being dragged out from under the bed where he was fast asleep for a photo-op.

At the last weigh in Fred was close to 18 pounds and Raider was 2.2 lbs.

Gray tabbies must really like us, huh?
