Oak Tree Musings

I love fall!

The crisp morning air, crunching leaves, the smell of freshly picked crop fields, and the sound of the augers pouring fresh grain into the bins are a few of my favorite things about fall....Fall is my absolute favorite season!  It goes by too quickly and I am trying to cherish every moment of it...

I have been super busy lately and I would like to slow things down.  Today Abby had cheer practice, tomorrow she has Girl Scouting, Thursday is a 4-H club meeting plus more cheer practice...Life can become so busy it is easy to forget the simple things. I love simplicity...my favorite days are spent hanging out at home with my family, cooking and cleaning, and not having to be "somewhere." 

Tonight we also had a water softner salesman come to our home.  (Courtsey of Home Depot when Joseph signed up for a washer/dryer giveaway last month.)  He had an impressive sales pitch.  He showed us how hard our water actually was and how much money we could save with a water softner...the poor man arrived at 7 and did not leave till 8:30!  I felt sorry for him, for wasting his time, but a water softner is not in the budget, no matter how much softer hair and skin I can have.  I better keep repeating that...I do not need softer hair and skin, I do not need softer hair and skin...

I am looking forward to this weekend...now time for some rest.  I think I can hear my pillow calling my name.

Blessings to you~ Laura
