Friday Fave Fives. Here we are at the end of another wonderful week. We've had some cold days, some rain, some sunshine, and lots of blessings. (follow the Fave Five link to join us)
1. Last weekend, The Professor joined both grandsons (and Younger Daughter) for the Trail Life Daniel Boone Campout. Their troop was hosting the campout (1,200+ campers!) and they had the BEST time. Younger Daughter was 'in charge' of their troop's campfire. She spent the whole day Saturday tending the fire and making sure there was always coffee for the dads and leaders. A GOOD TIME was had by all!
2. Midday on Saturday, I received a text relating that they were running out of firewood (it was really cold!), so I grabbed a couple of bundles of wood and drove out to the campout place with Older Daughter and Granddaughter. We took advantage of being near a great walking spot and took the dogs with us for a beautiful walk under the autumn trees.
3. Monday morning, I spent a lovely couple of hours 'crafting' with friends (new and old). Our hostess is an accomplished quilter but is learning to knit. It was a fun morning of coffee and yarn.
4. A three and a half mile walk with a young friend and her eight month old boy along our local trail.
5. We went to the local gardening store to purchase some potting soil. As we were checking out, we were directed toward a shelf full of gorgeous mums and told that every person who bought anything at that day were given a free one! We came home with an amazing lavender mum.
Willow's Week wasn't exciting but it was still full of blessings.

That is so cool that you got a free mum when you made a purchase. I love that walking trail. Beautiful fall pictures. So glad you got to spend time with family and friends during the past week. I hope you have a good weekend. See you again soon!

What a great gift to receive a free potted mum! I love replacing my summer flowers with fall mums.
What a wonderful weekend outing for the guys and kudos to your daughter for keeping the fires going. So glad you got join in as well. It sounds like a scintillating weekend in autumn. Your autumn photos are brilliant. Ours seem slow here, Have a blessed Sunday tomorrow!

I imagine they did need fires for a campout this time of year! It's been pretty cool in the mornings. Looks like a lovely area to walk. How fun to craft with friends. And how nice to get a free plant.
Love your photos and yay for outdoor walks on beautiful trails......the campers must have been so grateful that you brought them more wood.
Fun times of knitting, quilting, and shopping with the added blessing of free mums!!
Enjoy the upcoming week.
How wonderful to be on call and able to save the campfire by bringing back up wood! You are taking good advantage of your new locale!!
