Mulled wine is red wine infused with festive spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg and served warm.
Merry Saturday!
Wow autumn is officially here. Hope you all enjoyed a beautiful first day of fall. We had our first autumn fog sweep in earlier this week and temps plummeted to frosty starts. Leaves are turning red and gold everywhere I look and falling in heaps now.
It has been great to welcome autumn with my mum here as she usually goes back at end of summer when she visits. We have been shopping Halloween decorations. She leaves on Monday so enjoying our weekend together. Always very tough seeing her go but focusing on the good things about to unfold. Besides, her annual visit will soon be here again before I know it!
Well hope you all have a great weekend. I will be hoping this weekend takes it's time.
P.S. 7 Days till my favourite month of the year! October!

Thanks, I'll take a look at the Vermont Country Store. Yes, it seems there is a lot of nostalgia when it comes to these Ceramic Christmas trees.
Only about 92 days left until Christmas. I almost can't believe that 2017 is nearing its end.
Bronners sell the ceramic trees also. I hit up Amazon last year to get a package of the replacement pieces, somehow they always disappear.
Morning MMC! Happy Saturday! It's going to be a weird but amazing early Autumn day with a high of 85 under sunny skies. Summer is definitely back even though it just left. Anyway, I have a busy day ahead with errands, lunch with my mom at the mall and a hike with my friend. Fun stuff though mostly. Gotta love Saturdays. Enjoy yours!
Good morning MMC ~
Happy Saturday!
Our first weekend of Fall is going to feel like summer, it's going to be sunny with temperatures in the mid 80's. I'm heading out soon to make a big food shopping trip. I'll be working on my daily chores afterward. I would like to run to Kohls at some point, I have a couple of coupons that are going to expire soon. I'm going to grill burgers & hot dogs for dinner. I guess that's about it. Hope everyone is well. Have a wonderful day <3

Good Weekend Morning, Christmas Supporters!
And it's a weekend of lasts.
The last weekend of the third quarter of our Christmas Day count.
The last full weekend in September.
.....And the last weekend before Christmas Blossoms 2017 is launched!
(No Belks or A Christmas To Remember photos yet, but between Hallmark and The Neuse Sport Shop, I've got pictures all lined up with which to launch the thread some time next week!)
OK. Today's count information:
Days to the Season: 51
Days to Christmas Day: 93
And our pending Milestone?
It's the 3/4 marker to Christmas Day, you know.
But what you might not know, unless you are a regular reader, is that it arrives THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!
(Wow, Guys.)
The weather remains warm but reasonably comfortable, thanks to continued acceptable humidity.
We should have a sunny and dry weekend ahead of us and it has begun here in our part of the great MMC Nation at 66 degrees.
Have a Sensational Saturday, Everybody.
Enjoy your weekend, and may your college and pro football teams of choice find victory!

Good morning, everyone! Hope this finds you well.
We just ended summer and now it is time for Summer 2. No signs of fall, yet. Temps are going to continue to hover around 90. BUT....there is a hint of winter at the end of the week. The 10 day forecast shows a drop to the mid-70's starting on Thursday, so I'm very, very hopeful...
Been a long, long week. A lot of ups and downs....I'm ready for a couple days of predictable behavior. Yard work, cooking, and watching football is on that I have lined up.
See ya around today. I need to go finish a paper for college.

Thanks Crown! Have a great 1st weekend of Autumn!
Our 7-10 day forecast shows a 15-20 degree drop too. Autumn is on it's way.
Hello and happy Saturday!
It is another REALLY HOT day! Went to the local farmer's market this morning and it felt like a mid-July morning. YUCK!
Today is Homecoming for my oldest(Nathan). His last high school homecoming dance. It is crazy that he is a Senior! The group he and his date is going with are headed to a lovely covered bridge to take some pictures before the dance. That should be a great spot for pictures.
We just got his Senior pictures back today; they were out in the woods and turned out great!
I have some lesson planning to do today. My youngest (Henry) has a football game tomorrow. Not looking forward to coaching out in the 90 degree heat. I feel bad for the kids having to wear all the equipment and run around in the heat.
Well, everyone have a great day! Think cool thoughts!

How's your weekend, everyone?
SO happy now that the weekend is here. It was such a slamming week at the office ... we have a box of single-dose Advil packets there, and I saw the empty box in the trash yesterday. I worked late every night this week, and woke up with a headache this morning that I can't shake off. But I'm getting through all the usual Saturday chores just the same. We're going to go out for a late lunch-early dinner, and I may demolish a steak or some fried chicken ... I only had about one decent dinner this week! Looking forward to some movies and crochet this evening!!

Happy Saturday .. taking a break from doing yard work, we got the grass cut, weed waking done and the front porch cleaned off and almost ready for the fall/halloween decorations. Just have to finish weeding the flower beds and that is gonna take a while since ts been a while i last weeded them and the weeded took over. Was suppose to go to a Pumpkin Carve event tonight but my son isn't feeling good so plan B is making a fresh pan of brownies and watching The Lost Boys with the family tonight. Was in Walmart this morning and found an aisle half filled the ornaments, ribbon and tree toppers 
Its getting closer and closer! Hope everyone has a great day.

Nothing better than spending the day at a 93 days to Christmas craft fair and watching Christmas on qvc on a 96 degree day. I didn't pick up anything at the craft fair but I did pick a couple lanterns at the Christmas tree shops.
At $7.99 I couldn't pass them up.

Love these Made, that's a great deal. I have to get to the Christmas Tree Shop, haven't been there in awhile.
Hope you have have a nice night!
