A Gorgeous Fall Weekend

Yesterday was one of those days in Iowa where you think they is no place better to live. It was 70 degrees, sunny and just a beautiful day!

For the first time in quite a while, I had the energy and motivation to get a lot accomplished. While watching the Hawkeyes lose....boo....bummer, but not unexpected, I got all the Halloween decorations put away, cleaned and dusted the main floor of the house, did a bunch of yard clean up and even cleaned up the garage.

Connor did a fabulous job of cleaning up his room, his closet and his bathroom with MINIMAL complain and redirection.

I don't think that I've shared what the den looks like now, after we purchased new furniture for it.









The black furniture is new and although it's a PITA to keep clean of dust, we really like the way it looks. We also had the carpet shampooed while everything was out of the room and I did a bunch of touch up on the walls.

and as a side note.....I CANNOT believe that I actually harvested my last bunch of butter crunch lettuce on NOVEMBER 7th!



We stopped at Center Grove Orchard last weekend so we could pick up some Chieftain apples, they were having a buy one bag, get one free special. We also ended up buying a bag of Honey Crisps, some cider donuts and a caramel apple. Nice orchard!



Hope your weekend was good!

LOVE that orchard too! I really should try to get a completely bunny-free area so I could grow some greens too...yum.

The den looks fabulous! You really should be an interior designer:)
