Well October is finally here!! Does that mean some cooler temps are soon to follow????? (yes..you DID hear me say that! 
Much as I love summer & don`t mind the heat..even I am ready for a change!
So, come sit a spell, grab a cup of cider & take a load off!
As we do not have any seasonal color change here in SC (NC got it all lol) I imported my own! I now have my own fall colors & no longer have a bare wall! (I also got a snow scene for later lol)
Love the picture Sarah. My favorite thing about October is ..........

Hope thing are going well for you and Mr. T!
Morning, Sandy Yepper things are a bit better..thanks to a low dose happy pill' 
I made these over the weekend for a Sun Nite Singing..they were a huge hit. I substituted the butterscotch morsels with Pumpkin Spice morsels..they are awesome!
12-oz. pkg. butterscotch chips
1/3 c. butter
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1 c. chopped pecans
8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 t. vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
Melt butterscotch chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in cracker crumbs and pecans. Press half of mixture into an ungreased 13"x9" baking pan. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy; stir in condensed milk. Add vanilla and egg; mix well and pour over crumb mixture. Top with remaining crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Chill until firm; cut into bars.
LOL, I'll have to tell you the story of my mystic earring tale one of these days. LOL
But if your earrings are Sarah Coventry, they ran a special marketing campaign back in the 70's called a "pair and a spare". It was based on the fact that you always lost one earring. So they sold their earrings in threes. This might solve your mystery.
To my knowledge, Monet didn't do the pair and a spare thing.
Now on to my earring story.....
A number of years ago, as some here may remember, I set up a little week-end selling at a local emporium in Austin. I made several displays and sold there four or five times. Since you had to pack your things up if you were using the kiosk on the week-ends, I tried to make sure all things were secure. The last time I sold there I came home with only one Bell Trading Post copper earring. I searched my car, and even went back and searched around the kiosk and in the storage big drawers you could lock you stuff in over night ... alas, no earring. So I put the one remaining earring up on a shelf.
Over the years I kept finding this earring in off the wall places. I just figured I had absent mindedly been moving it when I was going through stuff. Don't ask me why I didn't throw it away, I just didn't. When we moved here to Killeen, the earring came along with me. The same thing was happening here, came across it unexpectedly in weird places. Finally I put it up where it wouldn't get moved. A couple of weeks later I once again came across that earring while looking for something. Now I was really mad at myself. Why would I have moved it from the drawer I had put it in. Took it back to the drawer and low and behold ... there in the draw was the other earring! For years I had both earrings! LOL I was moving one or the other earring around all this time and just had never got them together. So after years, and a major move they were back together. Can't tell you how many times I was going to throw that earring out.
What is there to say? LOl
Let's start the day off with a smile:
A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus she noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.
The young man replied, Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are coming” and I grinned.
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, “Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling”, and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, “William’s Big Stick Did the Trick”, and I could hardly contain myself.
BUT, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, “Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident”, I just lost it.
“CASE DISMISSED!!”
Went to a church rummage sale yesterday and I bought this with the intention of reselling. But I'm teetering with the idea of keeping it instead. Different from my usual.
While I'm in that file, here's a photo from last night. I was setting stones and using my magnifying lamp. Set it on its side so the cat wouldn't knock it on the floor... typical cat 🙂
