We went for a couple of trail rides with my other baby brother and she who sees robins first. I won't explain why they were both opening their doors going down the trail.
One night as we were returning home the moon was coming up.
In other activities, we worked on the Christmas Ornaments. I have decided how to paint them and have completed a sample. It will work. I made a list of the things I need to complete that project. Far Guy is not done carving yet...and I can paint them later in the Fall when the weather outside gets rotten.
I designed the outside of this years Christmas Card. I have yet to work out the inside. I ordered card stock and envelopes and made a list of what I need to finish the cards...a few brushes and some water color pencils. I hope to have everything in process so that I can put them together during the craft retreat in October.
We trimmed some branches that were bugging me when I was mowing the lawn. I hate the ones that I have to push out of the way with my arm! Far Guy and my other baby brother put new mulching blades on my lawn mower ...so when the leaves begin to fall I can mulch them. I mulch about ten different times before the leaves are all out of the trees.
We have a very busy week ahead of us. Lots of appointments and places we have to be. Next week isn't looking much better.

Your joint Christmas ornament project is so awesome. Working together on something creative is very special. And your cards are always a work of art.
I'm sure the rides at twilight are fun. I won't ask why they were opening their doors on the ride. :)
The work you two put into the ornaments and cards is truly amazing. Obviously you enjoy it. And I know those who receive appreciate your efforts.
I hate those slapping branches while mowing. I forget about them until the next mowing time usually.
Great photo! Low hanging branches are a nuisance when mowing. I always managed to slap myself in the face with them.
I sometimes wish I had the creative talent. Mostly when I read what others are doing. I hope all goes well during your busy week(s).
A night ride would be wonderful. I'm glad you got to go.
Ugh! I hope the week or two of appointments & places-to-go passes by quickly for you both, Connie. My stomach rolls just thinking about such things as appointments & such. So glad you're well on your way with the Christmas cards & ornaments. ~Andrea xoxo
I love your night ride. Night rides are a wee bit of fun.
It was a beautiful moon this past weekend. We drove home from Sarnia (40 minute drive) and watched it come up Friday night.
You are busy!
We don't do a lot around Christmas. It must be great to have family helping out and having fun around.
Getting hit by branches while on a riding mower is bad. I have some that are in my way while I push my mower. I have kept it on hold and will try to trim them when the city opens up their dump station. I hope you can take a breather some time. I guess the traveling out to see the moon is a very good thing. I was thinking about Christmas trees just a couple of days ago.
Sounds like a couple of busy weeks ahead for you. Remember to look after yourselves and stay healthy. Mxx
Your header is looking very Autumnal. Very pretty. I look forward to seeing your finished ornament and card.
You've got yourself very busy for the next few months.
Your crafting is so organized! Can't wait to see this year's ornament. Hope all the appointments go well. I won't ask why the doors were open.
Great picture of the moon rising!! Night time rides sound like fun.
In my few quiet moments lately I've been embroidering tea towels for a Christmas gift. Admittedly, there haven't been many quiet moments! I left at 9:30 and got home at 4:15. It's almost a full-time job taking Mom to doctors appts. and such. Another one early tomorrow morning.
I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful ornament you come up with this year and the card too. You are definitely a true artist.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
Sorry to hear about all your appointments, but you sure are getting a good start on your Christmas ornaments and your cards. Wow. I think I need to get more organized....need to get hints from all the family pretty darn quick!
Uff dah to all of those appointments, going going going is sometimes very tiring.
I love the photo of the moon. I bet you parked awhile and gazed! (I would have!)
The Harvest moon was quite spectacular here too. Lovely photo.
You are such a busy couple! Always something on the go. Creative, too. :0)
We are blessed to not have to mow the huge lawns here- our landlady has her other tenant across the road do all the mowing in return for rent.
