Last of the yard work....

We moved into our new home the first of September...It has been a very busy fall... We have finished our deck, poured a patio, work on our fence, laid sod, fit in a holiday, planted perennials, trees and hedge. Fall is a great time to get deals on plants. We visited one store that only had about 5 trees left...there was this one homely tree that hubby really like.... For $5.00 we couldn't go wrong so as I much as I thought I didn't like it...we got it.

But once we got him home he grew on me!
He looks like the a Dr. Seuss tree...we call him the Grinch...

Weeping Pine

Well our outside work is done for the year...the snow has even come and I think it's the finest looking tree I have ever seen ...what do you think??

This Old House....

West of Sundre ...we found this old house....

 I'm thinking it was quite a cute house....

The inside doesn't tell us much about the owners...an old trunk remains holding up a beam.

Looks like a lot of hard work went into building this house....

Behind the house the shed....still stands...

Adventures in My Backyard

Besides the flocks of geese we have been sighting this fall....

we have had Balloon sights as well!

Pumpkin Spice...

Fall is in the air...it's time to make my Spiced Pumpkin Syrup....

 Made from pumpkin, cream, spices...
Add a couple tablespoons to a couple shots of espresso and steamed milk...

Perfect for a fall day!

Adventures in My Backyard...

Hubby and I are enjoying our Backyard View.... it seems that everyday the 'pictures' change. I thought it would be a great idea to do a weekly post of what we see in Our Backyard..... I was discussing this idea with him when our 5 year old granddaughter was visiting...and I was wondering what I should call the post...then she came out with... "You should call it your Adventurous Backyard'...so with that idea.... I will call these post....'Adventures in My Backyard'.....

So here goes my first post of the Adventures in My Backyard!

Quilt Complete

I made up our spare room with the Quilt that I started last spring.

I had picked up a handmade bed skirt with hand crochet lace along the bottom...if you look at the post when I bought it I never thought I would use it as a bed skirt...but it worked perfect for the bed and the quilt!!

Well I have some pictures to put up and I would like to make some pillow shams then I think my little guest room is ready!!
