47 Fall Bucket List

We missed the summer bucket list we did have a quarantine one but I never took a photo of it.  This is our fall bucket list to replace the summer one I never did.  We’ve already done a bunch more since I took this photo like camp fire, Halloween movie, bike ride And more Halloween decor.  Lots of fun things happening. 

Bike ride - on the new trail by our house it’s super nice and we can’t wait to try it again

We loved the orchard.

We’ve had amazing weather it’s like 70s in the day and 50s in the evening perfect for camp fires.  (Let’s pretend I weeded the fire pit).

We did a Halloween craft kit thing.  thea loves to pretend with this little set.

We got new Halloween decor. thea has taken three of the skeletons as her “babies”.  

Fall Will be fun.

30 Fairy House

One of the things on our list was to make or get fairy houses.  We have 1 bazillion places we could have a fairy garden in our almost an acre yard so we may end up with more fairy houses in other places too.  I bought birdhouses on sale at the craft store.

We painted the houses.  Jones and Thea did the bases and some of the decoration and I helped encourage them to add patterns like stripes and dots and flowers to decorate them a bit more.  And I finished them off and put a coat of sealant on them.  We also found a old birdhouse in a honey suckle bush we removed and put it with them too.  

Jones calls this one the “mayors house” I like his camo he made for it. 

This one is one of Theas I love how she made a rainbow on the front and left the fairy a berry to eat. And that little stone path.

Here’s the random birdhouse.  Jones planted it wheat!

And these little ones are in the ficus tree.  The round one is Theas.

Anyhow it’s such a fun addition to the yard and we have since also painted acorns to add for the fairy’s as well.

Art

Something I haven’t really done since I left the bungalow is hang art.  I never really got settled in at my moms.  I just considered it her house not mine.  And now that we are in the new house I have less time but I have been trying to add touches that seem like

me.  Recently in my room I hung some art.  I ordered prints and spray painted frames I had as well as acquired some new frames which I spray painted bright pink.  I love them I need another big frame for the opposite wall and my new desk is on back order but slowly it’s seeming more like me.  

1) waiting for new art, 2) print by Lady Earthling 3) print by Carolyn Gavin 4) Print by Lisa Congdon 5) unfinished art by my grandma Ruth White 6) drawing by me.  7) rainbow by Thea and I 

I also hung some art up in our art room but I haven’t finished yet so more to come soon.

lambic

What seems like ages ago I gave up drinking almost entirely.  I have had a drink here or there but literally I hadn’t had one in several years.  So for my 40th list I added Drink some Lambic beer which is like a sweet fruity beer it actually seems like a raspberry cider to me.  This weekend while at Trader Joe’s I saw some and picked it up. I enjoyed it.  So did Graveyard Elsa who is our resident Skelton doll Thea got the other day.  I still have another bottle left to have another time as well.
