HARVEST HAppY


CHOCOLATE BOMB from daughter-in-law.  She made the treat.  Enjoying a hot cup of chocolate.  


Unwrap CHOCOLATE BOMB, place in cup, pour hot milk over it and watch it open up.


TWAS GREAT!

TIS the last of the month.  HALLOWEEN tonight with a FULL MOON!  An opportunity to witness a gorgeous moon that GOD CREATED.  HANDIWORK for us to admire.  I'll take time to admire and enjoy.  

Down town merchants had treats for the tricksters on Friday evening.  Not sure there will be very many out tonight knocking on doors for candy.  We won't be participating.  It's been like 40 years since I did not hand out candy.  Forgive me.  

November knocks at our door in the morning.  We'll open up for NOVEMBER with gladness.  

Halloween sales to take advantage of, typical Monday for laundry, Election Day Tuesday, a Son's Birthday Wednesday, boxes in the new TV room gone through throughout the month, treadmill relocated in Cottage so I can walk indoors, etc. 

Next week will be exciting and interesting as we should know who our next duly elected President will be.  Either way, I predict our gasoline prices will sky rocket.  Riots will take place. Mischief will come forth.  Covid continues as the numbers climb.  I think it best to always have a full pantry if possible.  

NOVEMBER.  God, you know who prays.  You know who is righteous and loves you.  You know who hears your voice.  In Jesus name, I always pray.  Amen.

ON THE HOME FRONT:  Hubby continues screened in porch work.  Thanksgiving cards mailed out.  Striving to work on Christmas cards early.  Thankful thoughts.  Christmas decorating figured out.  Hopefully rearranging Living room will take place.  I think we'll put our tree up just with twinkle lights on it.  Will add ornaments throughout November so it's decked out by December.  Then the door decorations will appear and a Nativity scene displayed inside. It would be uplifting to have this ready to go.      

The Kitchen tidying is almost completed, but not finished.  This is ongoing and that's the way it is.  Fiddling along. 

OCTOBER has been a month for taking Kitchen inventory and rearranging everything in there. Watching a multitude of videos on organizing and decorating took place.  Toured houses, worked on rearranging my KITCHEN, making a HOME for exercising equipment,  Shuffled furniture for a new TV room.  Etc.  Was a busy month.

Grand with pumpkin.

Today, I have much to do.  Think I will pop in at the THRIFT STORE, buzz over to Menards to pick up a few supplies.  
Plumbing backed up in the basement.  Had to put off the laundry until this is fixed.  Meatloaf for supper?  Maybe so.

~NOVEMBER~
 PRAYING.

PRAIRIE HARVEST RECAP



GIVING THANKS this month.
Entertaining thoughts about what I'm THANKFUL for.

Thankful to you for stopping by 
and visiting me in blogland.

God bless and the all the best
this season,

AS THE SEASON MORPHS INTO CHRISTMAS, I want to slow my pace down to take some time soaking in late Autumn.  The temperature have chilled out and I'm not.  The early sundowns fading into darkness have challenged me to find interesting things to do at HOME.

My bucket list needs updated as the season changes.  Retirement is inching along this month as Hubby will retire at the end of December.  I ask myself, "Can you believe we are at this phase of our lives?"  The list of things I hope to get accomplished before 2020 begins have grown some.  If I don't succeed the list will just carry over into a new year and that's that.

It amazes me how odd this is as we are in our mid 60s.  Like where did the time go?  What happened to us?  Where are we going?  Will there be time for......how's about the money?  This has been an ongoing question throughout my adult life as a married woman.  The medical bills have grown and in order to pay them, the sacrifice of doing without much kicks in.  Praying for strength, favor, guidance.  Praying.

TRUSTING in GOD will help.  Help.

Being creative is a must,

HOME FOR HARVEST

GATHER A HARVEST OF LOVE
Welcome to my HOME this Harvest Season.
Dining room, Kitchen and Living room have simple decorations 
to warm the season.



On my Grandma's HUTCH sits a tray 
holding ornamental pumpkins and some greenery.

MIGHT MOVE THIS TRAY OVER BY THE WINDOW.
MIGHT LIKE IT THERE.

Keeping simple FALL decorations at my HOME.
The way this season is going it's about time 
for snowflakes and snowmen.

Getting COLD too soon
for COMFORT.



 THE TABLE CENTER PIECE is one of my old arrangements 
that I have kept for years.  STILL LOVE IT.
Something about these colors warms the season and my soul.



THANKSGIVING IS COMING?



















Gather a Harvest of Love,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
