(Check on Mr. Badger! He's singing British songs and playing with party poppers at
Kezzie's!)
Bill's roses are still going strong. They smell rich and delicious.
Reve wrapped the books in this cute calico. Isn't it a fun color combination?
I'm still coloring a tiny bit. It's fun!
I'm off for a walk with a friend. We'll meet at the trail and view the leaves. After that we'll pop into the closest Starbucks. James is getting his hair cut today so Christie will bring him over. I'll take a picture of the big boy!
Oh yay! It's Monday! Mondays are high and happy! Happy Monday to YOU!

What lovely birthday presents you received!! They look like you full of bright colors and lots of fun. I love seeing how you are loved.
I like your coloring pages. I guess that is why I hook rugs, just coloring in wool.
It sounds like a lovely Monday. Mine will all be out of the house today. It will be nice I think, I stay home too much I think.
Have a lovely day.
I enjoyed Mothers Almanac too, when our kids were little. I just bought my first coloring book for adults, titled Enchanted Forest. It is a fun pasttime. You sure got a lot of goodies for your birthday. May your year be filled with blessings.
Lots of fun birthday goodness! They do know you!
I do not know the Mother's Almanac, but it looks like it would be a good book. There is so much seriousness that goes into mothering that I think some lightheartedness needs to be mixed in too.
I'd forgotten all about the Mother's Almanac. I wonder if I still have it ...
What wonderful birthday presents! I especially love the tiny skeins of yarn.
I had the same thought as Jody--your family certainly knows what you like!

I think, Miss Pom Pom, you might be the original cheerio color bomber of the internet!
Your birthday presents sound pompomishly splendid!
It was from a library copy of *The Mother's Almanac* that I learned to do "Blitzes," a quick and sometimes wild tidying-up that is timed for only five minutes, so that the kids can get back to whatever play and projects they were doing as soon as possible, and the mom can reverse the entropy for a while.
At this distance it's the ONLY thing I remember, but I do have this image of myself poring over that book for several days...
What a fun bunch of birthday presents you received. Love that shot of the squirrel. Lots of good things to see in this post. We like our pickles here at this old house. I'm jealous of that owl spotting by your brother, too. Have a wonderful week!
Gorgeous post! I love your books - I wonder if I can get a copy of the Mother's Almanac from somewhere? And the mini skeins are so cute - look forward to seeing what they become.
Just popped over from Amy's blog. What a wonderfully happy positive voice you write in. Happy Monday to you too and belated birthday greetings
I would love to see an owl again. I did once, while on my walk. Crows were making such a racket so I looked to see what they were going on about and there was a Barred Owl just sitting quietly in a tree, not paying any attention to the noisy crows.
I love all your gifts. The tiny skeins of wool are so pretty I don't think I'd be able to even use them. Just keep them to look at every day.
If I find a nice colouring book for adults I think I may get it. Colouring used to be fun so why not now?
Happy Belated Birthday. Your gifts are so YOU! Everyone knows you so well and are very thoughtful with their gifts. Hope you are having a wonderful fall.

Fun presents! They really DO know you! :)
Enjoy all your new toys, and that beautiful Colorado weather. It's still summery here, too, though a little cooler. :)
Squirrel? I thought it was a capybara!!!
"There is a squirrel that comes right up to our picture window and stares at us."
I remember this from Instagram. But you didn't explain it there!!! Now I know what was going on!!!
On IG, it looked like a close-up of a shadow. And I couldn't imagine getting that close to a squirrel, to take that close up of his shadow. Eeeeeeek.
Wonderful owl sighting! They are one of the few ones that are out in the day, so most likely to see. What a treat! Great coloring book, too. Next week we are going to a lesson at the art museum on Zentangle - the art of grown up doodling. Grown up coloring is really "in". Glad you had a wonderful birthday! Here's to another great year. :)
Happy birthday! It looks like you had a lovely celebration and many nice gifts from your loved ones. It has been very warm down here in NM lately too but it looks like it will break this weekend. I'm so excited for it to finally feel like fall! I hope you're having a good week so far.
Lots of lovely fun things happening at your house right now! I love a bit of colouring in for grown ups myself! xx
Love the pretty calicos and Felt So Good looks so fun. Are those fox and rabbit finger puppets I spy?! I love finger puppets for some silly reason!
That rainbow of yarn skeins looks so sweet! I hope you make something delightful with it. I'm assuming that you have seen the gorgeous coloring books in Michael's of mandalas and other neat books for adults -- they are SO cool. I envy you your time with your pens and pencils. Coloring and painting is so relaxing! The roses are pretty and romantic :)
