“I wish that every day was Saturday and every month was October.” ~Charmaine J. Forde

October 1 ~ My most fave month got a soggy start

October 3 ~ It's a law that you have to eat chili in October/Autumn, and Wendy's chili is da bomb

October 5 ~ Living with dust during this never-ending living room makeover

October 5 ~ What in the world is this weird stuff growing on this tree? Mushrooms?

October 6 ~ grandson Knox has discovered the wizarding world of Harry Potter, so he's decided to be Harry for Halloween this year, a departure from his usual super hero costumes. When his mom took this picture of him, he hadn't yet received his wand and glasses they'd ordered to complete his costume.

October 6 ~ Hubby Neil, Jack of All Trades. He can do it all, folks. Yay!

October 7 ~ Want fries with that? We did not order all these, but there ya go, no charge. Go figure.

October 10 ~ awesome Autumn sunset

October 11 ~ Late bloomers. I didn't think our hydrangeas were going to bloom at all this year, but what do I know. Guess they decided better late to the party than never.
