Picture of my "drying rack"....I saved several zinnnia heads this summer to use as seeds next Spring...That way I got to pick the colors I wanted, although all the colors were pretty. They are good and dry now so I need to store them away until Spring. Hopefully I will remember where I put them!

Auction Finds
We went to an auction in a neighboring town last weekend..Had a great time! We bought this big cast iron pot.........My husband likes these alot...
Bought some chairs for the cabin at the river...
Love, love, love this table! Has decorative carving along the sides of the top...and the claw feet....wonderful! Haven't decided where to put it in the house yet, but I will find a spot....
Colorful quilt.....lots of red and yellow...it is trimmed in red also. Tried to look up the pattern, but haven't found out what it's called yet. some of the pieces are sooo small.....I think it's great! Quilting is such an art!

Special Kitty
The current stockpile of special kitty for our old cat, Tippy. She uses two cans a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The dry food was getting difficult for her, so cans it is. Sure makes an attractive addition to our kitchen counter! The tupperware container is my container I put my lunch in for work everyday. I have about worn it out! Must be time to retire!

Sunday in the Ozarks
It was another beautiful October day here in the Ozarks. The weather was perfect and the timber is showing some fall color. We were able to spend some time on the Gasconade River today and it was really pretty there. Went to church this morning and was fortunate enough to see most of the family. Have been wrapping up some lose ends here at home before another work week...

Paint Project Ends
Finally! I put the last three gallons of paint I took out of the dungeon in July in the trash tonight. I think they have been totally dried out for a couple of weeks. I never thought it would take that long to get them to dry out.
We sure have been having nice fall weather here the last couple of weeks. The only problem is it's hard to get out and really enjoy it when you are at work.
The flooring project is nearly done.....just one closet left to tile. I think it turned out pretty good. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Hill Latin
I bought this book at the local Friends of the Library book sale over Labor Day weekend...Paid a whole dime for it...it's a real funny little book.....talks about Mizurey (Missouri) and has all sorts of little tidbits in it.....like the way "Hill People" say words...like Fridy for Friday....Canny for Candy..........Plars for Pliers, etc etc. It is pretty funny...and amazingly since I live in what I guess could be called the Ozarks I have heard people use many of these pronunciations...
These are pictures of two spider egg sacks on the front of our house. I suppose most people would tear them down, but I think they are pretty neat. I don't mind spiders, as long as they are outside! I enjoy watching the big yellow garden spiders. It seems I notice spiders more in the late summer/early fall. Speaking of fall, we have been having some wonderful weather here. The trees are starting to turn and everyday looks different. Today was an overcast day of just the right temperature.
