Good morning everyone! I hope you have all been having a great week!

We started moving wood into the wood building yesterday.

Daniel helped us. He has helped for several years now. He definitely is a great help!

The weather and the scenery was beautiful!

God bless!

Hello everyone! I hope your day has been good! Grace and I went to Christiansburg today for a fun girls day. We went to Michaels, Joanns, Pet Smart, PetCo, and Five Below.

I got this yarn for a future project. I am hoping to try to make this pullover sweater.

I’ve never really made a wearable before except shawls and ponchos so we’ll see how it goes. I’ve never did cables before either so I don’t know if I can do it or not but I’m definitely going to try.

Also Grace got me this beautiful yarn as a surprise! Beach colors! I love it!❤

Our last stop was Starbucks. We had budgeted for a Starbucks stop on our beach trip but didn’t get to do it so we did it today. Delicious!

It was a really good day. God bless!

I’ve really been into meals in a jar recently. I love this concept.

I canned up this tomato soup back during the summer. We opened a jar yesterday for lunch. It is really good. I definitely want to do more of it next year.

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you have all been having a good day.

Things are good here. It was a little chilly this morning so I built our first fire of the season. It felt really nice!

Later in the day, Grace and I decided to take a little walk around the upper fence line. We ended up walking about one and one half miles.

This is our home. We LOVE living here!

A view of the pond from the top of the fence line!

There were a few flowers still holding on. This goldenrod was still really pretty. Goldenrod has been beautiful this fall❤

Fall colors are just beginning to really put on a show.

I love fall!

God bless!

Good morning everyone! Beautiful sunrise here at the farm today! I love sunrises and sunsets!

We didn’t do a lot yesterday. Mostly just catching up from the trip. All our stuff put away and all the clothes washed, things like that. This picture is from the back side of our road.

Grace’s friend, Micah, had some dental work done Friday so we took him over a jar of homemade soup. These two pictures are from his road.

We live in such a beautiful place!

Sunrise over the pond! I hope you all have a wonderful day! God bless ❤

Day 5

Good morning everyone! Last day of our trip. Not much going on today. We walked down to the beach for one last sunrise.

It was beautiful! We went back to the rental and loaded the car. Then began the 10 hr drive home.

It was a wonderful trip!

God bless!

Day 4

Good morning everyone! Day 4 started out raining! I walked down to the beach but it was too cloudy to see the sunrise! The wind was ripping,  the waves were roaring and the rain was pouring! It was awesome!

After breakfast, we visited the shops we like to visit. We got everyone back home a little prize then came back to the rental for lunch.

After lunch, we walked Driftwood again and then walked the DQ trail.

After supper, we went to St. Andrew’s Park beach. Time now to begin packing for our trip home.

God bless!

Day 3

Good morning everyone! My early morning walk to the beach held a surprise. Dolphins!!! It was so exciting to see them!

After breakfast, we went to Clam Creek park. It is so pretty there.

We saw several more dolphins there. Grace got lots of good pictures!

The trail there is another one of our favorites. This year we discovered that this trail connects to the trail that runs parallel to Driftwood beach. We learn something new every year.

After walking this trail we came back to the rental, ate lunch and headed back out for another walk.

This time we walked the Horton Pond trail. We discovered this trail last year. It is a beautiful trail! It is pretty buggy but worth the walk.

It leads to a pond that has several alligators in it!

Some were pretty big!

After that, we went to DQ, got our supper and ate at the beach pavilion. We eat at least one meal there every year!❤

Our last place of the day was Driftwood. We try to go there every day, sometimes more!

God bless!
