Good morning, my friends! How was your weekend? I hope it was everything you planned and hoped it would be. It seems like this time of year passes in a blur, and before we know it, January is here. I keep reminding myself to be in the moment. And appreciate the beauty of every blessed day. It isn't hard to do when the days look like this...
Today I have school with Flynn, some mail to work through, mounds of laundry to sort, and a meatloaf dinner to make. For me, a perfect day. I hope you enjoy your October day, my friends. Thanks for visiting. Remember to take a few minutes to just be.

Your corner of the world looks beautiful right now. What a view! Have a cozy Monday!
ReplyDeleteMiss you! xx
Gorgeous pics. My thoughts are switching to Christmas a little more often the last few days. I have to remind myself that Halloween is still here to enjoy. I haven't bought mums or pumpkins, like I was so anxious to do, and I'm thinking I'm okay with that. Less pressure, less jumping ahead to the next thing, more in the moment simple enjoyment!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the first photo with all the black and white decor. So pretty! It looks so gorgeous in your neck of the woods. Fall is my favorite time of year, too, and we are blessed with good weather this year, so the colors are beautiful. Have a good day -- meatloaf sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe trees are turning here as well and it is just gorgeous. Love your pictures. I too try to enjoy every single moment because as you said time gets away from us. Have a lovely week and enjoy the meatloaf.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fall colors! Thank you for the reminder to slow down. I needed it this morning as it seems to be flying by at a record pace. Hope you have a wonderful week! (PS I love the spiderweb blog background, so fun!)
ReplyDeleteIt's STUNNING. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday! I hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteDays are going by so fast.. sometimes they all melt into one. We put our Halloween decorations up over the weekend and watch Hocus Pocus 2.
ReplyDeleteFall is busting out all over!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos...what a blessing to enjoy such beauty.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we're thinking alike, while I'm an endless list-maker, my goal is to be present in the NOW, not worrying about what's to come...that's how I miss the NOW. You reminded me of a song I heard...Don't Miss It by Francesca Battistelli - so worth a listen when you find time. Have a great week! Mary
The days do seem to be flying by, but I'm trying to soak in every wonderful moment of this gorgeous season. I just thank God in grateful prayers every day for the beauty and the blessings everywhere. Every day truly is a gift!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteMeatloaf sounds wonderful. I should add that to my meal plan. I love the reminder to slow down and enjoy this beautiful fall season! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying beautiful autumn weather here. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right - we need to enjoy every day. These days will fly by - and then winter seems to drag.
ReplyDeleteYour photos today are just beautiful!
You have the most gorgeous foliage pictures! I can’t even imagine how much better it is in person! I hope you enjoyed your day. I had a pretty productive one myself.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! This really is the nicest time of year.

Oh, the gorgeousness of it all! You truly are blessed to live where you do. I love your idea of living in the moment. It is something I strive for and with Fall colors saturating our days it is easier to attain.💖
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lovely day. I love all of the beautiful pictures you share of nature, Gods creation has beauty that just brings peace to look upon. Have a cozy week my friend. Hugs to you. ~Juli
ReplyDeleteLoved the peek into your fall world today! I don't know quite where you are, but I was in Cambridge Springs last weekend (NW corner of the state) and it was beautiful there. They were a week or two ahead of us with the color. It is beautiful here now, though. Enjoy the beautiful fall days!
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo~ What beautiful photos! I just adore all of the fall colors and beautiful views of the lake...so pretty! Your day sounds pretty near perfect to me, enjoy those special moments with, Flynn! Hugs, Barb
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful there in your corner of the world, especially that lake view! Xx
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying seeing Autumn on friend's blogs lately. How pretty it is there. You get all the colors, the oranges, golds, and reds. Looking out your window to the glorious Fall trees changing color and the water is a lovely view. And your little bird house gets me every time. ; ) Thanks for sharing a little bit of your neck of the woods, Billie Jo.
