I Love Fall

What a dreary day here in Upstate NY. I wish I could sleep in, but of course I have a dentist appointment this morning preventing me from doing so. I cannot believe it is Tuesday already. I went back to work last Thursday and it has been pretty busy around here.

Mason hit the 7 weeks mark on Friday  :)

Dropping Mason off on Thursday for his first time at daycare was a little tough, but he was being picked up within the hour so he was not there long. On Friday he was there from 7:30-4 and he did great. I trust the daycare staff to take good care of him.  They are easy to talk to and they keep track of when he sleeps, eats, and gets a diaper change. Saturday Mason spent the day with his Nain (Judy), Tim had class and I had to work. It was nice for Tim and I because we got out of the house Saturday night when we went to get Mason from Nain’s.

He was sound asleep after a day at his grandparents 

If you follow me on Instagram you know that Sunday was a perfect day. After lying in bed for a while talking, I decided it was time to get up. I took Nutmeg and went to the Garden Barn. I wanted to get some mums and Tim wanted me to pick up some breakfast. This place has delicious cider donuts and apple cider. The donuts were coming out of the machine and the older guy that makes them was rolling them in sugar while I was paying. I had to keep the bag open because they were so hot. I picked out a few Mums and a few pumpkins that I liked. Nutmeg loved going for a ride, she had her head out the window for most of the journey.When I got home I did a few things inside the house and then I decided to go out and mow the lawn. It has been a couple weeks since it was done. The nice thing about this time of year is that the grass does not grow very fast so it is ok if you let it go for long than a week. I am not sure what got into me but after I mowed the lawn I got the blower out and cleared off the driveway. Then I decided the front tree needed trimming so I trimmed it and cleaned up the trimmings. My neighbor told me I could have some cornstalks out of her field so I went and cut some of those and decorated the trimmed tree with some fall decorations. (I will have to post a photo of that sometime - I wanted to get one this morning but it is pouring out) I was outside for a couples hours and I felt great when I was done. I am usually one to try to get out of doing the trimming and cleanup. I have a few more things to do outside and it will be all ready for fall. 

This is what was going on inside while I was outside

Fall is definitely my favorite season. I love the weather and the colors. I also love pumpkin everything, mums, apple picking, and cider donuts.
