A perfect October day

For a perfect October day in Arizona you start by getting up early and watering your seeded winter lawn. (well, actually you listen to your husband complain while he's doing it) Then you look around your house and realize that you missed half of the fine-layer of dust all over everything when the winter lawn was getting put in.

Then you get in your car and head to meet some of your family for breakfast on the patio of an old western town. Where you eat lots of bacon, talk, laugh, listen to guys with guitars sing and eat more bacon.






Then you come home and watch your husband grump around a little bit because it is time to start the sprinklers on the winter lawn AGAIN!

Then you hop into your 1948 Willys Jeepster convertible and head over to the nursery to look at FALL plants wearing your warmest fall foot attire.



And then you get your husband to haul all your boxes of fall decorations inside because you just feel so darn much like Autumn.

And you decorate a little bit and a leave everything else out on your work table so your Granddaughters can help you decorate tomorrow.
And then you make a fire in the fireplace and sip warm cider (NOT!)

But it was still a fabulous fall day...just different then much of the United States right now.

Hope your October day was perfect, too!
