Enjoying Fall

                               

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house.
So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air.       -  Nathaniel Hawthorne




Last Saturday I enjoy a wonderful day hike in NC. A good 4 1/2 miles, deep conversations, an expansive view from the top and 2 giant honey crisp apples made for a perfect day!

Practically Perfect!

A huge benefit of teaching is I get to have an audience whenever I want one! I also get to dress up for Halloween!! I've always been a fan of Halloween solely because it gives me an excuse to break from the ordinary and dress up! I had so much fun as Mary Poppins on Monday!

(Thankfully most of my kids got it, though a few thought I was nanny Mcphee)

I made the hat using a 79 cent doll hat from Hobby Lobby that I spray painted and glued flowers to. The skirt was curticy of J.B. who made it for her role in the crucible. The lace "top" was actually a dress that I wore underneath the skirt. The red bow-tie was just a scrap of red ribbon tied in a bow and pinned to my shirt.
