We know Autumn is here when....

Hello. We know that Autumn is here when we can no longer go to the beach, which is one of my favourite things to do, my gold finches have gone south, the leaves are changing, the days and nights are cooler, and my hubby has put away his uniform shorts until next year! He wore his uniform pants to work today; which means my days of ironing are back again....Oh well, we are thankful for the good job he has.

Autumn also means for me, renovations....

Today I was hoping to get started at my bathroom makeover but I injured my shoulder a week ago so I'll have to try and be patient until I heal up again. In the meantime, I can spray my metal wall art again and look through magazines for ideas. Since I have a very small bathroom I need to come up with a plan which is attractive but not overpowering.

When I went to the paint store, the saleslady suggested a red for the walls or a deep gold. If my bathroom was larger and had a window, I might be tempted to go with the red but the look I'm going for is a quiet feminine look with lots of toile and lace; so I chose a bone white for the walls. I know, i'm not very brave. I really am a girly- girl.

It's a lovely day here in Anne of Green Gables country and I'm going to enjoy it in spite of a sore shoulder.

Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless you~ Sandi

Sunday - "Words of Wisdom"

" Let love and faithfulness never leave you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favour and a good name

in the sight of God and man."

Proverbs 3: 3-4

I just got home from a lovely drive with my hubby. We had picked up a burger and fries and went down to the park to eat them. It was a beautiful day out there. The leaves are changing and there is a crispness in the air.

The park was busy today as there was a cruise ship in the harbour and many had gathered to look at it.

Today was also the Run for Breast Cancer and we watched hundreds of people run or walk by; each one running for someone special in their lives.

I lost my best friend to breast cancer a number of years ago and I couldn't help but think of her. And even though I know she is in a better place, I still miss her.

So, cherish your friends and loved ones; let's not take them for granted. One never knows what a day or a month will bring.

Take care everyone and let's be a blessing to one another....and have a happy day. ~Sandi
