Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Good morning pond. We had an interesting weekend. I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook and was greeted with pictures of a wildfire going crazy within a few miles of our church. Pennsylvania is not known for fires but we've been so dry for months now without much significant rainfall. We live an hour away from our church but we were checking in with everyone that lives close. Thankfully they were all safe and the fire was brought under control by the next day or so, just for another one to start just another 45 minutes up the road. We got some rain finally on Sunday though and I believe we're getting more soon so hopefully that doesn't happen again.

On a lighter note, we've been getting ready for the holidays. My youngest will be 18 next month but she suggested that we get window paint or chalk markers and decorate the windows for Christmas. Well we were having fun with them a little early and started decorating for Thanksgiving instead. We may end up having to order more for Christmas lol. I did the turkey, DD did the Peanuts scene and DH did the pumpkins. DS is being a party pooper (or just lazy) and hasn't done any yet lol. I may attempt a cornucopia today on another window :)

Ok.... I put a heart for the window paintings! Those sound like great fun, and they look good!


The fire... the fire is horrid. I am glad it is put out.

Fire is such a scary thing. Glad you are getting some relief from the rain.
Nice looking decorations. Enjoy the season.

We're having entirely too much fun with with it! I was cleaning up the brooder today, getting ready for the babies that are due this Friday and DH was complaining a little bit about it (not seriously but a little). So I put a grinch on the brooder... and DD just went wild on the rest of it lol.

Thank you but we're really not that talented. We're just really good at finding work that others have created with their talent and copying it. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing lol. These are the ones I used for my models.
