There’s a hundred and one things I should have been doing this afternoon while I was stuck at home alone {Thom took the car for some new (to us) tires}. Seriously. I have a list of things I’ve been meaning to tackle this week, yet I’ve had no motivation to get them completed.
Instead, I played in the driveway, celebrating the first day of fall. In the spirit of attempting to get in more photographs, thus documenting my experience here on Earth, I tried my hand at self-portraiture by lying on down on the sloped driveway. It’s a good thing there isn’t much traffic in these parts. I’m sure I looked ridiculous. Turns out, there weren’t any decent pictures, save, one.
When I was finished with self-portrait silliness, I moved on to making some pine needle art. Meet Lucy.
I kind of {love} her hair.
After that got boring I found this guy to stalk:
Finally, I finished up with an adventurous search for more of these guys to gather. I thought I’d bring a little of the outside indoors for some fall decorating {Mom called yesterday practically in tears about how I don’t do much decorating anymore}.
Apparently the squirrels have beat me to the gathering of all the local acorns as this was the only one I found. Since food supply trumps decorating needs, I guess I don’t mind so much. {I might also mention that, for the life of me, I could not remember what this was called. Pine nut came to mind…and so that’s what I called this guy until Thom looked at me funny and corrected me.
Maybe one more attempt at a selfie:
Happy Fall, friends!
I think your crazy and I love it. So envious of your inspiring cooking and crafting. You are my Martha!!!
