Fall fun...

I finally got a hair cut last Friday. I started to go back by and let him take a tiny bit more off but can't decide whether to or not. My hair just isn't as easy to style as it used to be.

I went to Cr@cker B@rrel over the weekend and while I was there I picked up this little lady.

She is sitting on this table in the entry way with my fall cornucopia and small pumpkins

and assorted fall leaves.

I have a little chair that we got in Eureka Springs, AR that looks like the old timey desks with the chair in front and desk behind. Right now my Halloween fiber optic cat and my light up pumpkin is on it, but I will put the girl scarecrow on it when Halloween is over.

Mine is similar to this, but the hole on the legs

isn't that big and mine has a heart shape cut above it on the legs.

(got this picture off the internet)

I got a flu shot on Monday at the doctor's office. Went with Jarin yesterday to pick up one of her birthday gifts that didn't come out until yesterday...video game. Then we went by Wally world to pick up a few groceries...and though I thought I had missed them this year....there they were...in all their glory...muscadines, scuppernongs, scup'lins...whatever you prefer to call them. Me, I prefer scup'lins. I did get one off of my bushes this year...only one...but my bushes aren't very big yet.

It has turned a bit chilly here...wind blew like crazy yesterday. Hum, wonder when we will get our first snow? 

I'm not sure if you'll be able to see it but this is our scary/creepy clown Hubby bought for Halloween.

He is sitting in a chair near the front door for now, but we'll put him outside on Halloween.

(This was taken near the garage door, I was trying to scare Cori)

Mugs, medical and mischief...

 Okay, in my last entry, Sandie asked if I had a mug for all holidays...I have the Halloween mug (from St@rbucks) that was shown in my last entry...which I call a fall mug since the jack-a-lanterns are smiling on it...ha. After checking, this is what I found...

from left...I have a winter cup and saucer that my

 oldest got me at St@rbucks, it only holds 6 oz. so I've only used it for hot chocolate.

Then 'The View' winter mug I ordered a few years ago, 2009 to be exact. Two summer mugs (showing what's on each side) from Florida. So now I need a spring mug to complete all 4 seasons...ha.

A picture of the saucer and the other side of 'The View' mug. There is also a penguin on the other side of the snowman cup. All my regular blog readers know how much I love snow.

I also have a 4th of July mug. I have a couple of Christmas mugs that I used

 to decorate with but they are on the top shelf with a lot of other mugs (with assorted things on them) that we don't drink out of. I also have a couple of Valentine's mugs that I filled

with candy for Hubby in our first years of marriage. Of course I have regular ones

that are favorites too. 

The Hubs went out Saturday to run some errands and ended up at the Spirit Halloween store. So now we have a big motion/sound activated jumping spider and a large, creepy clown also motion/sound activated. I set up the spider to scare Jarin when she came down but Rylie (dog) run ahead and she got scared instead...ha, poor baby...but I did get a scare out of Cori... yeah I know, we act like we are 12...ha. I haven't put together the clown yet.

The Chiropractor did some different things on Hubby's back on Monday, so after a quick overnight business trip to Dallas on Tuesday, he thinks it is finally getting better...knock on wood...

Jack, I have an electrical shock thingy I got many years ago for Christmas. I think it was advertised to 'tone muscles', but I figured it worked similar to the one my chiropractor used at the time (mid '90s). I'm sure it is not as strong as the medical ones, but it has worked pretty good over the years. 

Roll Tide,

Sheila

Welcome to October...

All is well up this way. Hubby had to go on a business trip this past weekend. The Chiropractor gave him an electrical shock thingy to stick to his upper back/shoulder to help with the pain. The meds the doctor called in for him also helped. (While I was at my parents he did something to his sciatic nerve...while playing golf...so he had meds left from that he would take at night when he got home from work. But that was the only time he would take them.) He started taking the new prescription every 6 hours like it said and it helped him a lot more. He has pain that runs down the back of his arm to his elbow, I think that is what bothers him most. There was golf involved with this business trip so you know he was happy...ha. The top guy from the place where he worked in Alabama was also there.

About the peppers I put up, the peppers I grew were not hot at all...good, but not hot. But the ones that I bought, I know they will be hotter just from handling them.

Now that it is October 1st, I drank coffee out of my pumpkin mug. (seen below) You can't tell in the picture, but it is orange inside. Little scarecrow person is back on the mantle but I don't think I am going to share my mug this year...I also have my Autumn wood-wick candle burning...it crackles like a fire.

I think I am going to get me a couple of scarecrows to stick in my potted plants outside...the plants are long dead. One place I saw had some ghosts on a stick...may get a couple of them to put out for Halloween. The cooler weather has been nice, I think for a week we're supposed to be in the low 80's, then go back down into the 70's. But even in the 80's the breeze seems to be cooler.

I'll go for now,
Take care,
Sheila
