Your new pillow is so pretty, Melanie! And I'm like you, not crazy about mums but never can resist one for the front porch (although that didn't happen this year). Your plants still look healthy. Most of ours do too but dead leaves littering all over the garden do make our look bedraggled. I'm wondering if we'll even have color this year but remind myself that we normally don't get much here anymore until early November. <br /><br />I know you love sunshine but the candles on your mantel look so cozy and welcoming and your bowl of vegetable soup looks perfect for the day. <br /><br />I hope you find some good deals on appliances! <br /><br />Best to you,<br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-1877376951815269762018-10-15T09:32:10.595-07:002018-10-15T09:32:10.595-07:00Like you, I'm not really into mums, but I buy ...Like you, I'm not really into mums, but I buy one big plant each year for the porch and then I plant them in the garden. Now that all my summer blooms are gone, my garden is full of mums. It has been nice because I haven't been able to work in the garden much. So, I have an entirely new appreciation of mums.Art and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-24426131261038127392018-10-14T14:51:49.662-07:002018-10-14T14:51:49.662-07:00Oy with the mosquitos!

I bought it at Best Buy which matched Home Depot's lower price on it, & delivered it free 3 days later. My old house then required a new electrical outlet installed for it. The money spent on installation by my expert plumber + an electrician was less than the dishwasher cost, but not much. If my plumber had not been an electrician's son, he probably would have walked away, not knowing how to temporarily access the power for it. It's always something, as Roseanne Roseannadanna's father said! Good luck! Thanks, as always, for all the photos.mary scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457428892597040488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-42104967151092780112018-10-07T13:22:13.732-07:002018-10-07T13:22:13.732-07:00Your soup looks delicious!

It is my very favorite time of the year. I am ready for all the insects to disappear. Didn't you buy a washing machine not too long ago? For some reason, I was thinking that you wrote about the type of machine you bought.

We had to fix our stove AND dryer this week- 600 dollars later. Still not enough for brand new appliances but so much that I'll be broke for a while. Sigh.

Doesn't happen often here but at certain times of the year there are these little flies that will just constantly hover around your face. Very annoying. Soup is yummy and eaten all year around here, even when it's 120 degrees outside. :) Definitely looking like lovely Fall around your place.
