My Weekly W's

What's on my mind: We finally got around an inch or two of rain overnight. Fall weather has arrived and I love it.  It's sunny with highs in the 60's and lows in the 30's which is just perfect in my opinion.  Later today I'm going out to plant garlic for next year along with milkweed, bee mix and bird mix wildflowers.  All of our garden beds are cleaned out except for the thyme, sage and rosemary which is still growing and looking good.  Hopefully they make it through the winter since it's predicted to be colder than normal.

Where I've been: Tuesday TBG had a doctor's appointment in Ofallon, so I tagged along and we enjoyed a great lunch at Drakes (the club is so delicious there) and stopped by Target for all of our Halloween candy for the trick or treaters. We were supposed to go to a bon fire last night, but the rain postponed it.  Honestly, I am glad because it was humid and 80 degrees yesterday.  We will enjoy it a lot more now with the appropriate weather for it.

Where I'm going: I have to work all week, and it will be a bit crazy. I have a new NP starting tomorrow that I have to meet with, Tuesday a new physician that requires a bit of time and then a physician candidate on Thursday. Luckily no appointments or commitments yet because I have a feeling, I'm going to want to hibernate next weekend.

What I'm watching: The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix which was very disturbing.  The fact that people like Susan are living among us is scary.  Carmello also on Netflix was the happy, heartwarming movie we needed to see and I highly recommend it.

What I'm reading: Good Husbandry 

What I'm eating:
BIG salad
BBQ beef sandwiches with zucchini 'fries'
Chicken pesto pasta and a salad
Stromboli and a salad
LO chicken white bean and noodle spicey soup


Lamb cheeseburgers and fries 
Tonight, we're having rice taco bowls
Tuesday, I made maple glazed and cinnamon sugar cake donuts for us and the doctors.  


Today I made a caramel apple bundt cake that is to die for.  Plus, the house smells like fall. I will post the recipe this week.

What is making me smile: Binx.  I caught him across the room staring at me and practicing his scary Halloween look. I just love this crazy, smart, curious cat.


                              I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and a great week ahead.

  1. The rain is nice and cooler temps too. Still no predictions of 30's here.
    I just wish the wind would stop blowing here.
    Sounds like a good week for you. Next week sounds busy at work.
    Your meals all sound delish.
    Have a good one.

  2. I went to a winery with friends yesterday, as it was beautiful (IMO, LOL!) in the upper 70's. Woke up this morning to wind and rain. It looks like it will last all week, which is depressing, but we will see. Weather reports are often exaggerated these days. Binx totally looks like a Halloween cat!
