Hello November Faves

 November 1st.  I can't wrap my mind around it being the eleventh month of this year.  Every week is speeding along so so fast.  Here it is Friday again.  Time for Friday Fave Fives with Susanne and others where we look back at our week and choose Five Faves of blessings and gratitude.

1.  Another wonderful walk under the autumn leaves.  And on the leaves (I might have jumped and stomped through them just to enjoy the sound of crunchy leaves).



2.  Mostly mild and sunny weather.

3.  Loads of fall clean up work in the garden.  In particular, we finally finished installing a large water barrel for rain water catchment.  It rained last night, so I checked the barrel today.  Several inches of water was diverted into our new barrel!  Success!

4.  Making a trip to the airport is not always my favorite road trip.  But this time it was one of my favorite events of the week.  We drove there to pick up Younger Son (Dr. M) who flew in for an extended stay.  Oh, I am a happy mom.  He is settling in and working his usual way-more-than-forty-hours schedule in the guest room.

5.  I am finally getting my photos from Ireland/England/Wales organized and posting them on the blog.  It has taken me a long time to do this, but I am so enjoying reliving those wonderful weeks through the memories the pictures bring up.  If you want to read them, you can just scroll down and find four post (so far) title Off To Ireland.

Bonus:  here is a photo I finally was able to download from last week.

May this month of November be overflowing with blessings for you all.
