It's November, already?!

Wow! Where has the time gone?

Oh.

Wait.

Don't tell me.

I know this.

We've been busy with work, school, band, stuff around the house and the like.

Speaking of busy, this past weekend we planted four, yes - four, trees. We had to replace a tulip poplar, which I loved, but just wasn't healthy. With the help of our son, Hubby and I planted these -
Yoshino Cherry Tree - We put this one in the front yard near the garage.

Hawthorn - This one went in the side yard.

Sugar Maple - This one is in our front yard. It's just a baby, but in time it will be a beautiful tree. The sugar maple we planted this weekend is in the back yard.

Red Maple - The back yard got this one.


I can't wait to see the Hawthorn and Cherry tree bloom in the spring! As an added bonus, the Hawthorn gets red berries to provide some winter interest and food for the birds.

Happy Fall, y'all!!!

Me + Sharp Knives =

This...

Ouch!!!

It looks much better than it did Monday night. Some days I just need to learn when to stop and let someone else take over.

However, the sweet potato oven fries were worth it!

The Band!



A clip from a couple of weeks ago of the high school band my son is a member of. At the beginning of the clip, he is the third tuba from the left. I lose track of him in this video as they move around, but I can pick him out when we watch them in person.

Last night at the Hoover Invitational, our band received all 1's (Superior rating). It made it worth sitting in the cold...45 degrees with a wind chill in the low 30's. Brrr... Remember I'm in North Alabama.

I love to watch this!!!
