Wonderful Wednesday #4

-
Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday! Many of you are looking forward to the upcoming weekend due to being a holiday weekend that will give you a three day weekend instead of the normal two. What do you plan to do with that additional day off? Will it be a useful day or not?

It is hard to believe that Labor Day is upon us and that fall is near. I love summer, but I am a fan of fall as well. Spring used to be my favorite time of the year, but allergies seem to have taken some of that joy from me. I appreciate all of the wonderful scents that come along with fall and many of the activities that abound this time of the year.

I will be camping this weekend as usual. The horses will probably be fully aware that our riding time is winding down for the year and so I will be sure to get some time in for that. I also feel that my husband and I need a recharge towards getting ourselves ready for fall. I personally feel like we have wasted our summer and have nothing prepared for fall and winter here on the farm.

This has to be a short post as I am attempting to finish packing the camper and doing some online training for my home health job. UGH! It seems that all of the trainings that we have completed in the 7 years that I have worked for this company are always covering the same items. I need new material to learn!

Is there anything lovelier than a field of sunflowers to represent fall? I don't believe so!
This little guy is a great reminder to me of decorating for fall, which I fully intend to do some next week. I wonder if I can find a sweet scarecrow like this.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change it.  Thinking an
