Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn

I got a few days off, and then Sunday I'm leaving for an overnight stay in Erie. Last night I was so tired, I ended up sleeping 12 hours. I woke this morning feeling like an entirely different person! Waking up at 3 or 4 am for work is rough, but especially when your not used to it!

Yesterday we were in Greenville, Pa. It's not very far from Ohio, where this man at an animal sanctuary decided to let all of the animals lose and then commit suicide. There literally was lions, tigers, and bears roaming around. I'm just thankful none of them made an appearance where we were!

You have to wonder, why people do the things they do... They had to shoot and kill all the animals. There were an estimated 60 animals on the loose. Can you imagine 18 tigers running around your neighborhood? I'm not even sure how many lions there were, but it had to of been a pretty high number as well. It's just so sad that all of these animals lost their lives, but I understand the police had to do it. You can't leave exotic animals roam around like their domestic cats. So sad :[

Well, I got lots to do around the house so I better get to it! I've been procrastinating all day :/

Autumn is in the air, and on the ground :D I couldn't be happier. A perfect life, would be living somewhere, where it's autumn all year long!

I finally got out to take photos! I have to admit, it's been awhile :/ I had a lot of fun photographing autumn at it's finest lol

I started a new job as a mobile medical tech. It's going well. I really enjoy knowing I am helping people ;D All this week I have to be up at 3am.. THAT I don't like lol Who wants to be up when it's still dark, and the crickets are still chirping?! If coffee didn't exist, I'd be in all kinds of trouble lol

Wel, got lots to do today. Enjoy autumn, and all her beautiful colors ♥

One set of footprints

So much has been going on in my life, that I haven't been online to update. Our Noonie (grandma) went into the hospital a few weeks ago with shortness of breath, and they found she had mitro valve prolapse. Surgery was scheduled, but due to her blood pressure and breathing being so bad they had to do the surgery earlier than planned. Everything that could of went wrong did go wrong. The surgery was supposed to last 4 hours, it ended up lasting 10 hours. The complications were so bad, they didn't think she was going to make it. The Lord had other plans (: Little by little she improved. She went from having as many as 6 machines hooked up to her and life support, to nothing but oxygen and some medications she is now taking on her own. She was on dialysis because her kidney functions were so bad, now they took her off of it completely!! The nurses are beside themselves. They just cannot believe how much she has improved. They told us, they honestly didn't think she was going to make it. I knew she would. I believed in my heart that God would lift her up and carry her through, and he did! I am just so grateful to God that she is with us today. She's leaving ICU on Monday or Tuesday to go to a rehabilitation center. From not walking for so long, her legs are very weak. They said with the rate she has improved already, that she may only need two weeks of rehab. It's just amazing to see her sitting in the chair talking and smiling and just being herself. I can't even begin to describe how fortunate I feel. I've witnessed the power of God in front of my eyes, and it just feels so overwhelming and amazing!!

thrift store adore

So, one of my favorite things to do is thrift store shop. Everyone who knows me, knows that I have an old soul. I should of been born with Jane Austen lol Now THAT would be pretty amazing. Where was I going again? Oh yeah, thrift stores!

My husband and I stopped by a thrift shop, and I found this adorable pitcher. Truth is, I think it's for syrup, but I really don't care because I'm using it for tea!! It's cute, and I've never been one to follow the rules. I'll take a vase and use it as a pitcher, or even a glass lol I find cute things and make up my own mind on what I think it's purpose should be!!! I really enjoy the cork and the tiny spout. If it didn't have that big cork, I don't think it'd be as cute. The cork pulls the entire thing together :) I'll consider this on my list of "great finds"

Onto other happenings in my so called life. Wow I really am in a "mood" today! Anyway, buggie is getting sooo big and so fat. She will not stay out of the garbage for nothing. I'm not gonna buy a can with a lid either, because I want her to learn NO. She's such a brat, but she's the cutest brat ever :) Love my little bug ♥

I've been trying to work on my website, but every time I sit down to do some work, I seem to get side tracked every which way. I really would like to have it down within the next two weeks. Guess I'm gonna have to sit down, ignore my phone, and do the work! lol

Well, got tons of things to do before hubby gets home.. peace, love, and shutter clicks!

With Love,

Summer

HBW!!!!, a photo by *autumnlove on Flickr.

Hubby and I took a trip to my favorite place in the world, The Rose Garden! I go there at least once a month to take photos in the Summer. The smell there is amazing! So many roses, flowers, herbs, and trees. It's very zen!! I would love to build a house right in the middle of it all lol

This summer has been sooo very hot, but beautiful. I wish I lived in a place where it was summer half the year, and autumn the other half of the year!! It'd be weather heaven lol

Well thought I'd stop and drop a few lines, and share a photo. Will post again soon!

With Love,

Stupid car!!

Our stupid car broke :/ So, hubby came to pick me up from work, he shut off the car and leaned back in the seat to take a nap (I was taking forever.. opps) the lights came on by themselves dimmed out and than ultimately shut off again. By the time I came out, he had the hood of the car open and I'm like "OMG what did you do to the car!?" It wouldn't start, like at all. So I called my coworker who knows a lot about cars to look at it. He said he would... 2 days went by and nothing. I told my husband to just call the tow truck and have it taken to the shop.. THAN my coworker calls and asks why I had it towed and that he looked at it and was going to fix it... I'm like "HOW was I supposed to know this, when you never called me!!" He didn't even answer my texts or phone calls, like I had no idea he even looked at the car. So I ended up missing two days of work, and an important meeting!! Ugh.. Good news is, we had it fixed. Now we're just waiting for them to call and say when we can come get it. Something about the alternator belt. Idk, I know barely anything about cars lol

So.. That's been my week lol On a more pleasant note, I got Joshilyn Jackson's newest novel "backseat saints" I just started it, but so far, like all of her others.. I LOVE IT! I got lot's to do today, I'll write again soon enough.

With Love,

I miss you momma

I miss you crocheting in your rocking chair,
I miss you playing with your long hair.
I miss you rubbing your socks off of your feet,
I miss you reading your bible before you went to sleep.
I miss you smiling at the ornery things daddy would say,
I miss you tomorrow, I miss you today, I miss you momma, every single day.
