I was watching a new Hallmark series (that I had recorded) yesterday afternoon and Wow looking out the window- it was raining leaves.
I grabbed the camera and was able to capture a couple photos. In the background on the second photo it shows the leaves had finally turned to their fall colors here on Lake.in the Ozarks
I am someone that does Not like wind-and the winds started howling last night early and continues into this morning along with the huge temperature drop. Thinking well it is autumn and it is November-we have been very spoiled. The first freeze may come in tonight.
I haven't done much in my craft room lately-actually most of the summer-so I think I will do that today. I started a bean soup yesterday and transferred it to the slow cooker this morning. I may bake up a small skillet of cornbread to go with it. sounds good for a blustery fall day
Enjoy your day!
Soo nice to see your blog at the top of my Blog Roll this morning Kathy! We hit almost 90F yesterday and today the high is 65F.... going to be soo nice.. tonight is the expected 'freeze' It keeps flirting around with 31/32F for the forecast and strong winds from the North 20-30mph.. I look outside and its Sunny and i don't see or hear the wind yet... Beef Stew in the Crockpot is the order of the day today.. Take care Kathy and do spend time in your craftroom today :) Love to think of you in there.. Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteGood morning, sounds like similiar weather here but no 90's The wind is still howling and white caps on the lake which cracks me up haha. Beef stew sounds perfect have not made that in a long time. I need spice up the bean soup. I did just do a watercolor that I got the idea from Instagram will share tomorrow-came out not too bad Hugs
DeleteI really hate the wind and that is all we have here year round. The photos of the leaves are amazing shots. If you are going to the art room consider my self portrait challenge on FFO. The instructions are at the bottom of this page. No pressure, it's a fun thing, https://beadwright.blogspot.com/2025/11/friday-face-off-11725.html I made bean soup and corn bread the other day. It's the perfect comfort food. Have a great day today.
ReplyDeleteMe too the wind drives me crazy. I have never tried painting any portrait I will check it out thank you. same here I love bean soup and corn bread Hugs from the lake
DeleteIt has been snowing here all morning. UGH but I really dont like high winds. They scare me more. Nice photos of the leaves falling onto your lake. Bean soup sounds yummy. Janice
ReplyDeleteWe have snow today!
ReplyDeleteOh Wow some here in the states got snow too
DeleteLovely photos! It is snowing here in Montreal today! Our first snowfall!
ReplyDeleteWow my friend Christine is in Canada too and she got snow as well-take photos-hugs
DeleteIt has been raining leaves here today too. And, it is much colder with an expected overnight freeze. Bye, bye to the flowers that are still blooming. I love love your picture below!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Mary I just got up a bit ago (6:30 am) and it's below 20 F degrees what a shock to the system-my blooms are gone now too sigh. That was taken with my favorite camera that finally quit working after many good years of photos. the new is so poor quality and I don't have a cell phone. glad I kept some of those photos.
DeleteHappy Monday and new week
Kathy yeah - I found you. Your weather is like ours today...ice on the deck and car in the early morning. Lovely colors friend. This fall has been a strange one for us...due to dry weather many leaves turned color and fell around the first of Sept. Then we got rain in October and warm weather which made everything fall behind. Now we are looking at November colors which are always muted. So glad you are still out there blogging...hats off for not giving up during this challenge. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon-glad you found me smiles. Ice is not good-happy we missed all that-just bitter cold-and we will warm up again this week too thankful Hugs
DeleteBrrr! Time to stoke the fire, grab a blanket and put on a good Hallmark movie!
ReplyDeleteGood morning I soooo agree I so miss not having a working woodstove. there is one here at the lake house but it needs a new chimney insert as the last owner had a major fire-ugh
DeleteNaked trees, oh Kathy... I at least like wind. And it´s not that cold here.
ReplyDeleteI like the new font of your blog - much easier to read.
And yippeee, it all works - hugs to you and the lake!
Yes I think things are finally working better-so far- haha Yes I find it easier to read too hugs
DeleteI love your beautiful photos, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mia
DeleteHow come that you started a new blog? I hope this one will work out for you. The font is definitely much easier to read. The trees in the baclground of your second photo have a lovely fall color. Autumn is such a wonderful season.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, my original blog got totally messed up for some reason-got aggravated with it so deleted it and prevented me from starting a new one for awhile this one took awhile to work had to stop approving comments for that part to work-I was suppose to lose my google emails but so far I still have them hoping those don't disappear.
DeleteI agree this one is much easier to read. Autumn is my favorite month thanks for stopping by
It's actually a really great idea to take the big temperature drop and the blustery weather as a cue to retreat into your craft room. Honestly, is there anything better on a day like this than the smell of bean soup simmering in the slow cooker and a skillet of cornbread baking? That whole setup just screams comfort and productivity.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a productive and warm day crafting.

Smiling-thank you
DeleteBean soup sounds very good. I don't have a slow cooker but do have an electric pressure cooker that I make soups in. I hear though, the slow cooker really does a soup justice with the slow cooking method. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteWhat things do you like to craft? I am new here. I like to draw, take photos, paint furniture and stuff like that.
Hi, glad you found me again. I do love the slow cooker in the cooler months-nice too for a small whole chicken, or roasts.
DeleteI am mostly fiber-weaving, spinning, embroidery, slow stitches things like that. I should try to draw-I am no artist in that regard or painting-I just always wanted to be able to paint a nice sunset etc
Happy new week
Happy New Week to you as well!
