Let's Have a Look-See

I am officially 'unaffiliated'  as a registered voter. I have voted and literally prayed for states that have a chance to make a change and hopefully will stop this countries descent into Facism.  I know we don't have a chance in Idaho because people would rather pay $5 a gallon for gas and live with crazy high prices due to tariffs than vote for anything else but Republicans. To be honest, they don't really see to the dangerous direction this country is going.  But life goes on. I found an orange tree this week.  This leaf shows that change is possible.  The City Park is showing off it's colors.  And crunchy sidewalks are appearing.  There are a few red trees here and there.  And this is the view from my deck. Just lovely.  Vote with your heart..... Happy Fall Ya'll.... Change can be good....

I love this Fall weather. The Birch trees have turned this week. Mine is not looking well. This tree is one of the reasons I wanted this house.  Not so many reds around here, but a few.  It's been a hot minute since we had some clouds to make a pretty sunrise.  I went to a soccer game in Burley.  A long story, but Wes got the day off to go the State soccer game in Burley. I went along and went to a couple of quilt stores.   We drove out to Oakley.  Such a beautiful valley. Almost everything has been harvested except the sugar beats.  Found the Quilt Shop without GPS. It is a cute little shop. Worth the drive.  The Twin Falls temple with Fall colors is my favorite. Stopped at the new Jerome overlook of Shoshone Falls. There is not much water running over the falls but the canyon was pretty.  I should share my yoga class post . I love th...

We went to meet my friend and left early enough to take BB to the slide. She absolutely loves it.  The weather was beautiful.  It was to good to see Liz.  Watching her with Callie and BB was precious. I feel blessed to have such a life long friend.  We went to Scott's play. The customs and make up were amazing.  We are seeing more colors, but still have Summer flowers. I caught this little butterfly taking a break.  Friends and family love.... Nature has the best color.... Warm Fall days....

We were lucky enough to go on a pumpkin adventure with BB.  She did enjoy it. I know, her face says different. She loved her little pumpkin and carried it everywhere. I don't think she understood the concept of standing next to this sign.  Loved the corn and 'diggers'. Right now she loves slides. This one was a little bit of a puzzle, but she went down several times.  Pumpkin pie.... Pumpkin cookies.... Pumpkin muffins.....

Hannah's step mom called me and asked if we had a picture of Barb and Hannah. Hannah said she had never seen a picture with her mom. She was 9 weeks old when her mom passed away in an car accident.  I knew I didn't have one. I contacted Lorinda, Barbs sister in law. She survived the accident, but her baby did not. Since she was living in Yuba City and she and Barb hung out, I figured she might be able to help.  Here are Lorinda and Barb.  And here is Hannah.  And here is the picture that she wants. Barb and Hannah.  I look forward to posting Hannah and Glenna Kay soon.  We went to the cemetery and found the graves.  Funny how grief can lay low and then pop up it's head and let all the pain in again. There is no time limit.  Barb's going to be a grandma... Life is a journey... I believe in Angels....

Last week we went to California for a class reunion for Wes.  I didn't attend, but he went with a friend and talked to everyone. I stayed with Allison and cross stitched while she crocheted.  I love seeing the rice fields, almost ready to harvest. The Feather River Temple is beautiful and filled with old friends.  I don't know where they got the Olive trees, but they are beautiful.  This week we went to Hannah's baby shower. I'm so proud of her and the work she had done to heal her soul.  As slong as we were in Utah, we finally found Hawaiian donuts. They were good but let's face it, they taste better on a warm night with a tropical breeze.  We then stopped at Temple Square .  It was so nice to see the Temple without it's scaffolding.  It was a beautiful day. The new visitors center is a win.  This quilt is beautiful.  ...
