Fall has arrived....with beautiful sunny days....and very cool temperatures over night. We've been enjoying getting out on the trails with Liesel....it will be another couple of weeks before the leave turn and we can enjoy fall colours ....
And look what is back in operation on these cool mornings and evenings! Purchase a heat pump everyone said. You will love it everyone said. We don't love it. It's no better than forced air heating...one minute you are blasted with warm air...and suddenly when it shuts off...back to cool temperatures until it blasts on again. I think our home is too small for this beast to be of any significance...we really feel the effects in our small family room when it is running....heat or air conditioning. I think we can count the number of times we had the air on over the summer.
We may be just getting old...and accustomed to the steady heat of the pellet stove...Mr. Seventies picked up a few bags of pellets...and we are much more comfortable and toasty warm. We do run the heat pump overnight....but that's about the only time....
On a recent visit to Home Sense.....I discovered a few more adorable cushions...this one was so tempting...hard to resist a dachshund with wings...
And this pretty pumpkin cushion....
These Halloween trick or treat baskets are adorable....and over priced! But cute nonetheless...
We spent a wonderful afternoon with grand baby and her Mom....we took in a local football game grand baby's Dad was one of the referees....then some fun time at the park nearby...and headed off to Cow's ice cream for an after game treat!!
We love this van parked nearby..and are very familiar with the song "The Wheels On The Bus"....
Of course...we had to check out the retail shop...as well as the various flavours of ice cream! I purchased this pink nightshirt....decided to forgo the slippers....I wasn't sure how well I could navigate them...
Mr. Seventies was picking a few potatoes in the garden...and came across this heart shaped one!! He brought it in to share with me....
We have an abundance of potatoes and corn on the cob in the garden still...along with buttercup squash and onions. Mr. Seventies bundled up some corn stalks & set out as a display at the front door...today we have a trip planned to a local pumpkin patch with grand baby & family....then for Sunday dinner afterwards.
Thank you so much for spending a bit of your time with me! As with most Mondays...we will be sharing later over on Between Naps On The Couch and A Stroll Thru Life for Inspire Me Tuesday... be sure stop over & read some amazing blogs here on Metamorphosis Monday.
Hi Charlotte - we've had a taste of the cold here as well - a harbinger of things to come! Liesel looks adorable in her fall sweater and I agree, those pillows are too cute. I can't go anywhere near the pillow section in HomeSense, its just too tempting. The cow is hilarious and I hope you enjoyed your ice cream. Stay warm and cozy over there!
