Busy, Busy, Busy October

I know I have a lot to catch up on....I'm going to try to get back at my blog. I'm happy and well, just busy.

Don't you just love this fall bouquet on my table? Actually I love any kind of flowers on my table...or anywhere else for that matter.

This squirrel was pretty hungry earlier this week. I filled up the feeder yesterday. 

 I have been doing A LOT of driving the past 10 days or so. I don't mind driving, but I do get tired of running all over the state. Next week I'll be able to stay pretty close to home, except for friday. Hubby's nephew is getting married in Milwaukee (about 85 miles away). We can't leave until he gets home from work, so we'll make the dinner and part of the reception. We're not staying over night and hubby may have to work the following morning, so we won't stay late.

 I made it to my 12 year old grandson's soccer game this morning. It was a nice day, low 50's and sunny. One of my old neighbors came over to talk to me. We are facebook friends and play Words with Friends, but it's still nice to talk in person. I also had a nice visit with my oldest granddaughter while we watched the game. She was babysitting a 3 year old boy and I was happy to see what a good sitter she is. They are a nice young family. The children participate in sports and mom and dad are there to watch....my son doesn't make the cross country meets if they are in the afternoon when he's working.

 What can I say about this tree? Isn't it perfect?

Photos just cannot do the fall colors justice...but we try to capture the beauty.

Monday afternoon I watched my oldest granddaughter run in a cross country meet.  

Her meet and her brother's soccer game are about 70 miles from here. After the game my daughter in law, grandkids, and I had lunch at A&W. I didn't get a root beer float, but maybe I should have. Before I left for home I stopped in to see my sister, it was nice outside so we enjoyed the sunshine and some chit chat.

At least I had some beautiful scenery to look at as I drove. 

As I am driving I'm looking at the trees and thinking 'Oh, that would be a great photo.' But I can't just slam on the brakes and pull over for a photo shoot. I'm thinking I need a (built in or attached to me) camera that gives me the ability to snap a photo with the blink of the eye.

Since life will be a little quieter now I am going to try to read some of your blogs. I've lost track of what my blogger friends have been up to. Fall offers such pretty scenes and crafting activities.
