Winter is threatening here. I am peeking between my fingers at the changing leaves, the fading blooms, the rain marked windows, the foot tall corn and sunflowers amongst the perennials from seeds planted by the industrious squirrel family, the edging project on the north flower bed half- done. I zip my sweater, take my cup of hot chocolate, bump up the thermostat. I know that next week it COULD be 100 degrees and we’ll be back in shorts. This is a Plains state, where the weather is king, Mother Nature is capricious and seasons don’t follow protocol. Thanks for stopping by this week to share your awesome projects, yummy recipes and great ideas!

You described fall weather perfectly, Charlene! So often, our weather seems to skip autumn beauty jumping from summer heat to frost. We’re grateful that we’ve had more autumn temps and beauty to enjoy this year but we’re ready for the cold! Thanks so much for the party!

We are supposed to have snow next week. And the leaves haven’t fallen yet. All the weather “rules” have gone bonkers!

Yikes I can relate, blankets went back on the bed this week! Plus I have only had to water the garden once in 7 days. Thanks for the feature of my post about Ethel M Chocolates Botanical Cactus Garden. It has been fun to start the new blog and these early posts are the places we got to visit as NPS volunteers. As we have more time, we will be sharing places in Texas to consider. Thanks again, have a wonderful week ahead.

Thank you so much for the features! I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed my Easy Nativity DIY Blocks post (on my blog) and my guest post Telling A Child’s Story (at Between the Bookends). So happy to be featured. Thanks for hosting this wonderful link party for us. Yes, I totally understand what you mean–in Colorado we are a roller coaster this time of year (and a lot of times of the year!), too.

My fall weather sounds so similar to yours…constantly changing from hot to cold. Thanks for the party.
