Today feels like a crisp fall day - the temps this morning are in the 50's and it feels wonderful. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year - I look forward to the cooler temperatures, the pretty fall colors - its great!!

My hubby and I are getting ready for fall by rearranging our furniture, painting the shed - cutting down the flowers - and planting some fall flowers. We are harvesting our herbs and tomatoes - the corn didn't do so well this year - but we will try again next year.

Also I got a gift today - #15 out of 40 - I am going to try and explain what it is - in the hopes that someone can tell me what it is. When I opened the package at first I thought I got place mats, then it looked like a round doily with flowers stiched around the edges - but it has 3 layers. Then I notice it has metal clips - when you clip it together it makes kind of a flower shape with pockets all through it...not sure what to do with it. Hey sis - a little hint as to what it is would be great.
I am taking it into to work to see if they can tell me what I am supposed to do with it.

I work with one guy who has a masters degree in art history - he lives for the 'finer' things in life - unlike myself, just a common ole redneck. So maybe he will have an idea as to what it is.

Well I need to get going. I am praying that you all will be blessed today.
