unpack-it jacket

Someone is exactly halfway to their next birthday!

I made the usual:  half of Desserts For Two's chocolate chip cookie recipe pressed into (half) a pie pan.  I accidentally dumped a bunch of pie beads down the sink drain during the clean-up process and Todd had to take our garbage disposal apart to retrieve them...not exactly a "half birthday" activity but all in a day's work around here!

He also rebuilt part of our front porch!  

It's been great weather for working outside.  Blue skies every day.

Warm days, cold nights, and leaves are changing!

Although we're both in knee braces right now, we're still hiking.  It's too pretty to stay home!

Just in time for cooler weather, I unpacked this 1960s jacket that I bought years ago.  I love the color and the double-button fit at the neck.  It doesn't look like it's ever been worn...a major score!  The sleeves are a little bit short but it doesn't bother me too much.

Cats are still keeping close...

...loving the warmth of the sun.

Looking forward to what's next!
