Hello November
If you are cold, they are cold. Bring your pets inside!
Did you know? If you want your house to smell amazing, boil orange peels with a cinnamon stick or half a teaspoon of cinnamon on medium heat. This is a great non-toxic air freshener.

Thanks for joining. Welcome. :)
One day, everything you own will either be donated, sold or thrown away. What stays? The way you lived, the way you loved. Don't make life about stuff.
Monday called. I blocked it. :)
Don't blame people for disappointing you. Blame yourself for expecting too much from them.
We are not given a good or bad life. We are given a life, it is up to us to make it good or bad.
Ants may be small and weak, but they plan ahead, work hard and stay united. They teach us that even with little, we can do great things through smart planning, effort and teamwork.
Never look down on someone's struggle, because life may teach you the same lesson tomorrow.
Today's mood: cranky with a touch of psycho. :)
I've decided my body is not a temple, it's a haunted house. It's slowly falling apart, makes weird noises and contains the spirit of an old lady who's always mad at something. :)
Good night. Sleep tight.
The following photos are my own, which I took with my cellphone. You can click on any image to see a larger view. Still practicing taking photos of the moon when I have the opportunity.
Enjoying and wanting to share the beautiful Autumn colours...before the leaves fall off the trees!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French). Enjoy! :)

Your photos of the trees are great! We still don't have much here in the way of autumn leaves...in Florida, if we get any, it will be probably later in November. We don't have a lot of maple trees or others that change colors. AS always, you pick out some great memes and quotes that always make me think! Also, the pumpkin muffins sound good. the Bugs Bunny cartoon is funny...I can relate. LOL. Have a great week.
Now this post makes for a good day. A cute morning, a cute night, and lots of good advice in between. I hope you had a wonderful start to the new month and that goodness continues through the next 29 days.
"This month, I'll count blessings instead of worries and find peace in simple things," sounds like a plan to me. "One day, everything you own will either be donated, sold or thrown away. What stays? The way you lived, the way you loved. Don't make life about stuff," there's no way that you are taking stuff with you! "Today's mood: cranky with a touch of psycho," I hope not. Linda, twice a week you amaze me with the great stuff that you find. Take care and be well.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking about baking pumpkin bread tonight. Do you think your recipe for pumpkin muffins is a sign to "just do it"? Lol!
