Remember 911

Hello and TGIF! I just wanted to take a few moments to say how proud I am of our country. I am going to think of that awful day on the attatck of our country. I remember so clearly seeing the news on these events and it will stay with me for ever. I also had a chance to go to ground 0 with my husband and to also visit 2 of the fire stations that had great loss to them. I remember seeing the sphere that was saved from all the damage and I believe they are going to place it  in the memorial that they are building at this time. How are all of you going to remember this day and if you ever have a chance to visit any one of the memorials I would highly do so. HUGS MARY

Kids are back to school and Fall is in the air

Hello all you fellow bloggers out there. Boy can I feel the fall comming in the air. This morning on my way to my big girl job................I felt a little chill in the air, I even thought of using the seat warmers to............but I refrained......... Just as everthing in the yard has had it's glory it is going to be time to prune back.............. Costco has been selling bulbs for a few weeks now and I just saw some ornamental cabbage for sale................the pumpkins should be arriving at the stores soon. I leave you with a photo I got on the net of a little building with moss all around it........it reminded me of here in the Pacific Northwest...........I will deeply miss the nice summer days here but I will welcome the fall and winter. Hugs Mary

Northwest Blackberries

We had a little bit of a rain and wind storm yesterday here in the Pacific Northwest, it is a sure sign that Fall is on it's way. I have been enjoying the picking and eating of our native blackberries here. I am going to check on them today and see how many were destroyed due to monther nature yesterday..................If I did not have to go to my big girl job I would pick as many as I could so my husband could make us some jam (he is the head chef) in our home.............the man loves to run the KITCHEN. Enjoy today all and make it a good one. HUGS MARY
