{Garden} Here Today/Gone TODAY!- The Sunflower Saga

 Here's the story of the sunflower that grew in our garden.  We didn't plant it but it looked different from a weed so we left it there and let it grow.

Finally, I saw a huge bud and then about a week later it bloomed.

It was so pretty! I thought about cutting it to bring it inside and put it in a vase but I didn't do it. Thankfully, I snapped this photo.

A few hours later, the sunflower plant looked like this (I took this photo the next day so it's a little brown but you get the idea).  The flower head was chopped clear off of the stem.  The culprits: a pack of little birds that were extra active and loud that day.  I couldn't get that mad at them because I think they were the ones who planted the seed in the first place so it was technically their sunflower! 🌻

Speaking of sunflowers, does anyone remember this sunflower photo shoot I did with my daughter in 2019?  It's still a favorite of mine.

Happy Friday!

Sweet Nessa

We had to say goodbye to our sweetest girl Nessa last month.  It's still hard to talk(write) about and I miss her every day.

The house is just not the same without her and the pitter patter of her little paws on the wood floors as she'd come visit me on the couch. 💔  She was the gentlest kitty and loved her soft nap spots and sunny windows. Her sister Willow seems to be doing fine and I'm grateful for that.  Give your fur-babies an extra hug from me today!

This & That Fall

 Here's what I've been enjoying and doing lately--fall edition.

I treated myself to a new pumpkin mug for the season.

We made the spaghetti recipe from The Bear show (if you know, you know).

I planted a sweet potato plant in a pot because I liked the leaves. It must have thrived because look at all of these potatoes. I was shocked!! They were tasty too!

I got my toes done in this pretty fall color.

Another "TikTok made me do it", I made this pumpkin out of a toilet paper roll and a cereal box.  

I refuse to buy mums too early this year because they don't last so I made some fall dried flower, berry and evergreen baskets out of things I found in the yard.  I also got this corny (nutty?) flag for the porch.

We haven't seen a toad in our yard for awhile. I was so happy we had one visiting!

My morning glories never grew this year so I've enjoyed seeing my neighbors' amazing plant around their mailbox when I walk by.

I had a cozy fall movie night watching Practical Magic.  

I was spoiled for my birthday!

Birthday dinner with Mr. Click.

I made my first DIY bleach dyed t-shirt. The stencil is a wood decoration from Dollar Tree.

This was the basic tutorial I used.  A sunny day helps speed the process!

What have you been up to this fall?

Our Kitty Family Has Grown By Three Paws - Meet Toki

 We welcomed a new kitten into our extended cat family and we are all smitten with her. 

Meet Toki!

City Girl 2 and her boyfriend adopted this sweet baby girl a few weeks ago.

Isn't she gorgeous? She's 8 months old and lost one of her legs in an accident but we don't think she knows.  Nothing stops this little stinker! She is so quick and agile!

Who needs four legs when you're this cute? She's settling into city life quite well and we're all obsessed with her! 

You can follow her adventures on Instagram @tokicatt (Toki The Tripod).

Our New Addition - Meet Apollo

 We have a new member of our family!

City Girl adopted a kitten and we're all smitten.  His name is Apollo and we're obsessed with his tiny-ness!

  He loves exploring...

and playing with his favorite snake toy.

He also loves his human.

He's so adorable!

We were so lucky to get a little time with him before they moved back to Brooklyn.

We're looking forward to lots of visits, playtime and snuggles with our new grand kitty!

Turkeys in our yard!  I never get tired of the critters we spot in our yard.

 I planted morning glories from seed this year. It's something I've been doing on and off for years. It's always kind of bittersweet when they bloom. I'm happy to have some new color in the garden but it usually signifies the end of summer too.

 An empty Trader Joe's!

 I don't know who recommended this book to me but it was a page turner!

 Frozen cotton candy grapes!

 This was the opposite of a favorite. Yikes!  I'll be happy when it's back in season. If I was shopping that day it would not have come home with me. Just sayin'.

This cute bracelet that my niece made for me!

I'm just getting back into Project Runway now that it's back on Bravo.  I'm catching up on Season 17 and loving it!
