Fall is in the air despite the 90 degree temperatures today and Fall is my favorite season of the year!

Sunday we enjoyed a meal of baked chicken and dressing with green beans, gravy and rolls not to mention Pioneer Woman’s Caramel Apple Pie!  Taylor came over from Muskogee to eat and spend the night and Wes stopped  by after working on his truck all day to grab a couple of to go boxes for him and Emily.

Randy and I spent Saturday mowing and flower bed working (I think you can figure out who did what.)  I busied myself potting my new mums and cutting back the periwinkles from the sidewalk, no more Jake morning drama, struggling to stay off the wet grass.  Adding a little ornamental grass and some artificial pumpkins and gords to my little wheelbarrow planter, the porch now looked like harvest time!

Our anniversary is today and we have enjoyed 8 wonderful years together and we plan on taking a small anniversary getaway soon to celebrate; we haven’t decided Jake’s role in our trip yet, the jury is still out.   We are accepting offers to entertain him in our absence though.  His requirements include, aside from food and water,  a cushy bed, his favored treats, squeaky toys, help getting in and out of the house if steps are involved, and….it’s getting ridiculous now I’ll stop.  He’s a good old dog just a little needy.
