My Everything Corner

It is the perfect day to get a lot of fall yard work done.  It is also the perfect day to do many other things.  Things that I don't often take the time to do. Go for an early morning stroll with my kids. Wander around the yard gathering interesting seed heads for an arrangement.  Read a book on the sunny deck with a coffee.  Finish up a cute pumpkin experiment which involved roaming around in the trees in the backyard looking for the perfect 'stem'.  Take lunch out to the wheat field and picnic with my husband on the back of the truck. I even snuck in a nap shortly after lunch which truly made it feel like my much needed day of rest. I shared this post HERE at Viewing Nature with Eileen. With an old black and white enamel bucket, my daughter and I wandered around the yard and picked anything that caught our eye.  I just love how it turned out. It sure brought a lot of texture to my front porch! These sunflowers that resemble 'Big Bird...

We spent some time cleaning off the gardens today, but not everything is at its end.  These tall sunflowers are just getting started!  The blooms are huge, and they stand out so well against a blue sky.  The bumblebee flew by just in time.  What luck!
