It's starting to feel a bit like Fall!

All my trees are starting to change color YAY!

Wow! Real fall this year! I get to experience the beautiful colors of fall and a crisp cool fresh autumn breeze in the air! Hubby and I have recently been taking after dinner walks, ya know to get in shape and all... and well, I've been side tracked with all the pretty scenery around me... but honestly how can you blame me with all this!!!

Found this pretty covered bridge on a walking trail across the street from my house.

The kiddo and I's new fishing spot!

Pretty River Creek that stems from the Potomac!

I HEART FALL!!! :)

What does your Fall look like?

Our A-maze-ing Saturday!

Saturday we packed up the car and headed out to Southern Promiseland Farm in Kiln, Mississippi. Since we've moved here we have started making this one of our fall traditions. I really love taking the munchkin out there to see and do things she normally doesn't get to while living in a bit city. I grew up in a small town and then lived in a rural community outside of that town for a while too, and I know how much fun playing in the dirt, riding tractors and going horseback riding can be! This year we brought along a friend of hubby's and his kids and we all had a great time getting lost in the corn maze, shooting the corn cannon and picking pumpkins! Here's some of the pic's to prove it! Hope you all had a great weekend as well. :)

This was a fun little mini maze mystery that the kids could figure out. There were six farm animals that stole Farmer John's apple pie. You had to go around the maze to the stations and trace the animal print with crayon to figure out which six were the ones who did it. For the record... it was the Llama, the chickens, the duck, the cat, the dog, and the horse. I just knew... Llama's couldn't be trusted! LOL!

Off they go into the corn!

Tracing the animal print

She's almost 4 foot tall! And only in Kindergarten! At this rate she will be over 6 feet by the time she graduates high school! Sheesh!

She loved the tire horse!

It was a beautiful day too!

Oh no! It's CORN MAN!!!
(Well, ok it's just hubby, but it was fun to scare the kids a little bit)

The munchkin shooting the corn cannon! The corn cob goes in the barrel and then builds pressure with gas and then you hit the button to release it. Her corn shot over 500 yards!

Pumpkin picking time! YAY! We took a hayride to the pumpkin patch and let the kids pick out their own pumpkins.

And here's her little "baby pumpkin" (as she liked to call it) that she picked out.
All in all I'd say it was a wonderful day!

A little something for November...

I have this long pretty window right by my front door that I really actually love, but do hardly anything with. Its skinny, plain and has boring standard ole mil house mini blinds in it. I usually try to dress it up with seasonal window clings or I try to hang stuff from it using suction cup hooks, but I have nothing in the fall department... I have plenty of Halloween, Christmas and even Easter but I didn't have anything for the month of November... and well, that just wont do!

Whats a girl to do...??? Hmmmm...

I think I'll craft something up myself! And that's just what I did. As always with my crafty projects it was suuuuuper easy! I swear! I even used old pieces of felt I had from left over other projects. I cut out maple leaves with the felt. Two of the same size and color, one is for the front and the other is for the back, because your gonna put clear fishing line in the middle... yeah that's right FISHING LINE! (see, yet another reason to just call me Mrs. MacGyver! LOL!) Cut the fishing line in 2 long pieces, because this is what your gonna glue your leaves to.

After I had all my pieces cut out and my fishing line ready, I just hot glued the fishing line in the middle of the felt leaves and then around the edges of the leaves to close it up. And Ta-Da! Your done! Just dont forget to take a little extra piece of fishing line and make a loop to hot glue to the top so you will be able to hang it. The best part is you can arrange the leaves in any order and place them at any angle and it looks great! Its honestly fool proof!... just don't burn your fingers together with the hot glue gun like I did ;)

What it looks like from the outside :)

30 Days of Me: Day 9

A photo you took:

I LOOOOOOOVE this photo... I think its one of my best. I took it last year around this time at Kackleberry Farm in Louisville Georgia. Hub's was busy away at ALS and mom came to visit for 2 weeks, I decided that we should take the munchkin to the fall farm and visit the pumpkin patch. We had so much fun that day hanging out getting lost in the corn and going for hay rides. She loves any chance she gets to be with her Omi (that's what she calls my mom, means Grandma in German) ;)

Fall Farm, Corn Maze & The Great Pumpkin Patch

Today we ventured to Kiln Mississippi its about a 45 min. drive North of us. We took the munchkin and our BFF family to Southern Promiseland Farm. They had a HUGE corn maze, a pumpkin patch, hay rides, and lots of fun activities for the kids to do. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful either. All in all it was a fantastic day... but I'll let the pics speak for themselves. :)

Ahhhh! Look out! Its Corn Man! (ok, so its really just the hubbers) But, I'd still run for your life if I were you ;) LOL!


Lewis & Clark leading us through the great corn expedition. :)

I am also proud to note that she can successfully rope a steer. I wonder if she can hog tie too?...


And last but not least... my favorite. The hallmark of the day :)

Fall All Around Me

Fall is in the air! Well, technically its fall and the temperature went down a few degrees today so I was happy! I wish the temperature would stay that way but not likely to happen for a while... oh well that's living in the South for ya. I have decided to make it feel like fall regardless if the weather wants to cooperate or not. So today I dug out the Halloween decorations and put those up and lit some of my fall candles. I know I'm a bit early but it was awesome :)

BTW.. that candle at the top is Autumn Fruit, from Yankee Candle and it smells Ammmmmazing! I wish I had bought a larger version of it seeing how I'm burning right through this one. I really hate that we don't have an actual Yankee Candle store here. I can buy them at the BX but they just don't have a good selection. :(
