Stuff and Nonsense...

The day started quietly enough...I was enjoying my breakfast and giving thanks for my warm home on this very chilly Monday.

I heard a big commotion in the shop and lots of yelling and then Mr. Skellie came running into the kitchen all out of breath and screaming something about butterflies and committing suicide. I calmed him down and carried him into the shop with me. There was a bare spot in the butterfly arrangement

and a beautiful pink butterfly lying motionless on the floor.

Mr.Skellie checked his vital signs and I checked to see if anything was broken and assured Mr. Skellie that the butterfly was alright. When he woke up, he explained that he was having a wonderful dream about flying and lost his grip on the wall. As he is from the Cardstock family, he is very sturdy and asked if I could help him back with his fellows. Mr. Skellie had to sit down after the ordeal and Marlene brought him some sweet tea. Disaster averted! So, what was I saying? Oh, Bill was working on some doors for the birdseed cabinet and was crawling around with his head inside the cabinet putting on new hinges and such. They came out beautiful!

And this is what is stored in there...oh, the shelf is new too!

I was busy making turkey pie from scratch and since I had pastry leftover and pumpkin too, I made a pumpkin pie along with it.. Bill finished before I did so pulled out the vacuum and started in...with his kneepads still on! What a guy!

When we were both done, we enjoyed the turkey pie together and wandered out to the porch to check out the neighbor's Christmas lights.

The moon added the final touch, don't you think? Then yesterday, I pulled out the Christmas tree and Bill helped me carry all the Christmas bins in from the shed. It always looks like a Charlie Brown tree when I first put it up,

but once I am done with it, I will share the final result. Have a great day!
