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
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.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and a great week ahead.
The rain is nice and cooler temps too. Still no predictions of 30's here.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
The weather is just so unpredictable. It was a good week and I'm trying to brave this next one. I hope you have a wonderful week as well.
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun. It was in the 80's here on Saturday and very humid so not my idea of a fun bon fire night. We only had rain Saturday night into early Sunday morning and then it was a really pretty sunny day. I wish I could get a photo of his scary poses he does when you come out of a room. It is hilarious.
DeleteSounds like you're going to need a quiet weekend after this coming week. Those donuts look good and caramel apple bundt cake sounds so delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will need two days at home after this week that is for sure. There are so many things going on at work. The donuts and the cake are both really good, especially this time of year.
DeleteThose donuts looks wonderful - could I beg the recipe off you as I'd like to try them out at sewing club!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will post the recipe this week. They are really tasty.
DeleteIAww look how pretty Bink is! I've never had a black cat but whenever one of my cats would arch his back when it was stretching I used to say they are practicing for their scary Halloween look!
ReplyDeleteHe is a very pretty cat. His hair is so shiny and soft. He jumps out of doorways doing the crab walk with his back arched and it makes me laugh every time. I'm sure I've hurt his feelings because he thinks he is quite scary. lol
DeleteI saw that series advertised on Netflix, I will have to watch it after all this baseball finishes!!
ReplyDeleteIt was good.
DeleteAwww! I love how Binx is ready for the big day. Those donuts look great!
ReplyDeleteThe donuts were good and Binx is something else.
DeleteI am also loving the fall weather! Binx is such a cutie! He is going to be the star of the show on Halloween!
ReplyDeleteWe finally have some cooler days and nights and I am loving it.
DeleteOh your baking has got me in the mood for something sweet now.
ReplyDeleteFall baking is my favorite.
DeleteYour doughnuts look AMAZING. I love how pretty they are. Binx is super fitting this time of year. Today I re-watched some more REBA on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteThank you, they were really good. Binx is one of a kind. I've seen Reba a few times in the past. It was pretty funny.
DeleteI like Reba when I'm taking a break from cleaning. Van cracks me up. The son in law. Tomorrow we'll finish the last of Wednesday. Then there's this one cop show, I don't know if it will be toooooo much for me or not. I can't recall the name, but the cop gets shot and then comes back to work and gets setup in the basement of the police station.
DeleteI'll look forward to that apple bundt cake recipe!
ReplyDeleteI will post it this week. I've made it twice and it is a very good cake.
DeleteYep, we finally got rain. We also got a lot of lightning. My son’s house was hit by lightning and set on fire, so he, my daughter-in-law, and their three cats have moved in with me because their house is not habitable at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear that. What a horrible thing to go through. I'm glad everyone is OK though. We didn't have storms, just a lot of rain.
DeleteIt is at Halloween I miss my black cat most.
ReplyDeleteGotta love a doughnut! Hope your October is going well; ours is busy! We had a massive storm here in brisbane on sunday; thankfully we didn't get the huge hailstones near us!
ReplyDeletecheers

I do love a good doughnut every now and then. My October has been really busy with work and getting everything ready at home for winter. I'm glad you didn't get the hailstones; those are so dangerous. Take care!!
