Laying there in bed at 3 AM with the thunderstorms screaming around me, I was so filled with thoughts, of ideas…of autumn! Time for a blog.
So my thoughts are on the future. I had decided I was in the winter of my life yesterday because I wasn’t feeling well, but I’m thinking this morning I am in the fall of my life. There is sooo much work to be done. I’m back to SERIOUS purging, room by room. But with holidays coming, it’s also time to bring in the pumpkin decor collection and change the colors of the rooms… Only this time I’m not painting walls, ok, a few pieces (3) of furniture. #1daughterconnie has suggested I buy throw pillow COVERS, so between doing that, changing out my wall art and new curtains, I am changing the colors. Then there’s #2toodaughterbillie sending me pictures of bedspreads….Next month I will post before and after pictures of the guest bedroom.
My basement is done. The garage is unbelievable now. The barn is done, the kitchen cabinets are cleaned out…the dining room is almost done. Dang, I just keep getting new ideas… or happen to buy that beautiful Christmas wine glass that has to go SOMEWHERE on display of course! Now I’m thinking my living room rug really needs to go in the dining room.
The flower plots have been abandoned. With over 100 degrees everyday…and one day heat index hit 123, there has been NO desire to weed or even to go outside. The flowers are plush and the grass growing even as I write. We have had rain after rain spaced out every few days but too hot! But not to fear, I have been working in the garage getting my wild flower seeds harvested and sorted into containers. I am ready with my grass seed for Sept. 15. Plans for trimming all my bushes next week with temps in the 70’s and 80’s…Sowing all my wildflowers Oct 1st, and wacking all my plants after 1st frost around Oct 10. Have been studying my gardening books, what to do/ not to do. So I have my plans.
I keep having a song run thru my head from years ago…”let’s forget about ourselves and magnify the Lord and worship Him”. That is why I am so happy. My God is good.
