HAPPY FIRST DAY OF OCTOBER!
I am offering apples, would you like some?
How about these beautiful sunflowers?
These are a couple of jigsaw puzzles I put together, with a poem in between.
Mr. Bear has the right idea. I feel the need for a good long soak today.
because bear was a tad bit grumpy earlier.
Just kidding!
For the love of children.
Today’s dream cottage. You would half expect to see a few fairies.
Here’s my dream kitchen showing a pretty walled-in garden outside.
Or I would be happy with this one, and what fun that would be to have my own pet chicken?
All that is needed now is a comfy corner to sit in a comfy chair.
Here’s my bedroom, or…
this one.
A new word for me and it's not only the clouds I love looking at.
Wise words but I welcome any thoughts, any comments on this. You can enlarge any of these pictures to see more details.
And now for a recipe or two.
This little bear and his little friend seem quite happy. A hot beverage has a way of being very comforting.
So, time for a warm beverage. Hot milk for them to share, and for us…
And now for some fun with Food
That's all for now.
So, what are the inverted hooks on the apexes of the roof of the lovely cottage house? Sending my math teacher DiL the algebra tidbit! Lovely photos. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI looked at those hooks and I'm thinking decorative or lightning rods. They kind of remind me of those seen on Norwegian homes, as in this photo

It makes me smile that you are going to share some algebra humor with your DinL Linda. Thank you :)
I found another one here :)

Autumn is a beautiful time of year, which you showcased well in this post.
ReplyDeleteNovalunosis is a new word for me - and I plead guilty.
Love the sound of the parmesan potatoes too.
It certainly is, thank you Sue :) The word was new to me also and I enjoy finding them. Those potatoes do sound good don't they?
DeleteWhat a lovely post and AI's and all, Denise. I did enjoy as always.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you liked it Margaret, thank you so much! :)
DeleteA cornucopia of delight from you this October morning. The food fun looks delightful but I know I haven't the patience for such things. My loss, of course.
ReplyDeleteThank you Janice and I know what you mean by the food fun. I like to look but putting that together, not so sure :)
Delete“May we raise children who love the unloved things” - indeed we must.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more David, indeed we must! We owe it to all children to teach them such things :)
DeleteI love all the pictures here. So many cute ones and those cottage ones are amazing. I want to go hang out in one of those rooms. I enjoyed the poems as well. That was a good list of things to promise myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Ann, so glad you enjoyed these. Thank you :)
DeleteHappy October to you! I love all the cute and pretty images and the poems.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Thank you Eileen, and for your kind words. Very much appreciated :) You take care and have a great day also :)
DeleteEach and every photo is as sweet as can be Denise. I love the poem by Christian Larsen! The words are those that I wish for myself. Let's just say a work in progress! Have a happy day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martha Ellen, it's a beautiful poem isn't it? I daresay many of us could say we are a work in progress, including me. Happy day to you also my friend :)
DeleteSweet images! Thanks for the recipe!!
ReplyDeletehugs
Donna
You are very welcome and happy you enjoyed, thank you Donna and sending hugs :)
DeleteGood morning. Thanks for the wonderful pictures! 😊☕️
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, I should say good afternoon now :) You are very welcome, very happy you enjoyed these. Thank you!
DeleteSo many fun things to see here. I wanted to tell you I discovered the jigsaw puzzle app on the plane's tv screen thingie you can enjoy on those long international flights. Doing the puzzles really helped the time go by quicker in my mind. Happy October to you!
ReplyDeleteFinding the jigsaw app on the plane must have been fun Ellen. I will have to remember this next time we fly. I love jigsaw puzzles! Thank you Ellen :)
DeleteHello, and Happy October, my friend! I lingered over your post today. Loved it all.
ReplyDeleteHi Billie Jo :) so kind of you to say, thank you my friend.
DeleteClapping wildly about the algebra....
ReplyDeleteDenise well done on this beautiful post every single inch of it.
Hugs Cecilia
Wonderful! Thank you Cecilia! So happy you enjoyed it. Sending hugs :)
Deleteawesome pictures and verses for october!! i will be making those potatoes, we are addicted to potatoes and that recipe sounds delicious!! i really love the meme about algebra, it is so true and gave me a good chuckle!!
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Debbie, those potatoes look delicious don’t they? :) glad the algebra humor gave you a chuckle :)
DeleteWhat a fun start for the month Denice! I love the poetry, the food, the Autumn warmth of the puzzles, the other pictures and the dream rooms. I would love that cozy bedroom, with all the bookshelves, but the kitchen is too dark for me --I'd never be able to read that bread pudding recipe))). ! That recipe and the potatoes are immediate keepers here! (I love the notes on the bread pudding one -- nothing like a personalized recipe from someone you know and love.) Thank you for all the smiles and Happy October
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie, I am happy you think so. You are right, it would be difficult to read the recipe but I am the original mole woman as I love sitting in the dark :) I still have my old flashlights when needed, lol! I agree about the old hand-written recipes, I have quite a few of those in the draw from friends and relatives. The sight of their handwriting always brings me a smile and a warm memory. It is lovely to see you visiting again Sallie, welcome home! .
DeleteAnd a happy start of the month to you as well, Denise. THose potatoes looked very good and I wonder if you plan to try the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy :) I will try the potato recipe sometime :)
DeleteYou've covered a wide territory on this post. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The selections you've chosen describe the beauty of fall.
ReplyDeleteThank you Red! It is a wonderful time of the year :)
DeleteThe cartoons do make me feel so warm. Incredible
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you so much roentare, so glad these give you that feeling of warmth. I appreciate the sweet compliment :)
DeleteLindas imagenes. Me gustaron los perritos y el burro. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias. Me gusta el perro y el burro también :) Te mando un beso.
DeleteSpaghetti horse made me laugh. The Bears are all cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd that makes me smile Thank you Linda :)
DeleteOh, Denise, I so loved the poems...but I always love these posts of yours. So much I like. That house...the one that shows the whole house...I would love to see one like that. In real life.
ReplyDeleteThat’s wonderful Rose and you made my day. Thank you so much! Me too about the house :)
DeleteSo many sweet images - those dreamy rooms, sweet children and happy photos of autumn joy!! This post just made me smile and was a highlight of my afternoon. Thanks for sharing. And for sharing a bread pudding recipe. I love bread pudding and think I will make some this weekend:) Hope you are having a nice week. I think the sun has finally returned to Virginia!:)
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer and thank you :) so happy you enjoyed my shares and they gave you a smile. I love bread pudding too! Yes it’s good to have the sunshine back, yay on that, and a double smile :)) I had a very nice week thank you, and I hope yours was the same.
DeleteYour photos are so charming and cozy, Denise. I often wonder where you come across such delightful ones. I love the Algebra one - I was never good at it in school. Love the horse spaghetti too. That bedroom with the vaulted ceiling reminds me of my mother-in-laws guest bedroom. It was so charming and cozy. "May we raise children" poem is so special, thank you for sharing that.

Sweet of you to say Sheri, thank you so much :) Most of these came from Pinterest but I have discovered Bing AI and included those also. It is fun to see what my prompts turn up, I am always delighted, as with some of these pictures I included here. I weave through many and am always delighted.
DeleteLovely poems and pictures for the Autumn season. I'm loving the recipes this week and the spaghetti horse is just magical. I wouldn't want to spoil it by eating it though.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverley, and I know what you mean on the spaghetti horse :)
