:cry: Two days and twelve pages later, I return. We are a chatty bunch aren't we!!!
 
:hello: It was chilly this morning, but the sun was shining just enough to get a few pics at the Falls. I'll get more tomorrow if it doesn't rain. If not, I have two extra days off next weekend and it's the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend so that means five days of photo opportunities - surely there will be sunshine, hopefully there will still be spectacular leaves to snap!
 
:)) Came home after running a few errands and snapping some Fall photos and noticed the O'Malley the cat had moved one of the two Christmas gift bags he nests on while watching the birdies at the feeder. The bag was between his Ohhlala Arch and his Spinner not far from his crinkle bag and his cage. Either it's a sign that Christmas is on the way or O'Malley was trying to set up an obstacle course to get some exercise. I'm guessing Christmas is inching closer!

:tree: Seeing this gave me an idea to hide his Christmas presents in his cage this year.
 
This is certainly great news. All your caretaking has paid off. Have you given the cat a name?

Update on the stray cat. He is about 90% in good shape! He is meowing a lot now and couldn't while he was sick. I seriously thought he was going to die even though I was giving him medicine. I am so happy he is doing better! I know he is happy too! cheesy

I hope you all have a great Saturday!

When I was a kid growing up near Gastonia (McAdenville/Cramerton) the weather would be like that when a hurricane was on the coast. Totally loved wearing flannel shirts and jeans.

It may not sound like much to some, but last night in Charlotte it was 58 degrees. Not too cold but a welcomed relief to the hot sticky nights we've had for the last few months. It's like the rain came through and took out all the heat. Noticing the extreme difference can't help but make you feel like Christmas is on its way now.

@christmasstar: that is beautiful! Are those flowers sugar flowers? If so; they are wonderful! what kind of paste have you used if i may ask? Compliments!
 
The cake is beautiful christmasstar!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!!!!! It has been a busy day here. I had some errands to run this morning and I have been helping my neighbor rearrange his apartment off and on all afternoon. I had planned on spending most of the day on here trying to get caught up but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. This evening i want to do some baking but I may put it off until tomorrow. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmmm, you must not have received my previous posts since I have not heard back from you yet.....then again, I have also not been checking as much as I usually do so maybe I missed your post to me, which is totally possible, being so busy with cakes the last while and you on vacation and all. Anyway, I volunteered to also take a day. Let me know if one is still open...thank you so much, your fabulous! cheesy

OK, Christmasstar, you have Day 5 (Nov 8) meaning you will kick off the special posts!

To recap, the complete schedule:
Day 1 = Nov. 12 (Seawaters)
Day 2 = Nov. 11 (Auntie)
Day 3 = Nov. 10 (Maureen)
Day 4 = Nov. 09 (Binger)
Day 5 = Nov. 08 (Christmasstar)

Looks like I'll get this year off!
(Will likely post a comment/observation on Nov 13 with the Season commencement post)
 
I love October!

Sitting here with a Yankee Spice Pumpkin candle burning and about to watch a Christmas movie.

I might have to fix a cup of cocoa. Anyone else want a cup? cheesy
