Geeze! It`s hard to believe we`re coming to the last portion of the year already!
How are things progressing on your end, Sandy? Things falling into place, hopefully.
What is it about the Autumn that is so peaceful & relaxing? We have no color here & I do miss it. I get lost in the online photos..I can never choose a favorite!

Things are going fine here. Still trying to decide what I want to put in storage and what I'm going to sale. It's not easy. I don't have to hurry so am taking my time.
How did you weather (no pun intended) the storm? It just looks so ugly all the way up the coast.

Wasn`t as bad as feared here...lots of rain & strong winds..but it all finished last nite. Charleston area really got whammied! I feel so bad for everyone that was affected by it...I hope no more hurricanes this year!
Spent the morning cleaning up the yard (as best I can) probably have to roll outta bed in the morning from all the bending! 😣
Love the pie recipe!!!!
