I hope you have had a wonderful week dear ones who I love so much!
Mine has been in many ways and full in many everyday ways! Those are the best kind of weeks, don't you think?
The weather has been a wee bit cooler - just enough to lift one's burnt out over-heated summer spirit! And speaking of summer spirit, I am definitely not burnt out, however, on our Summer Lynn and her sweet spirit! She loves to scribble on the kitchen chalkboard (I may have shared that before - please ignore any repeats) when she visits and of course I don't erase her work. I let her do that. And may I say that it will be hard for me to erase my daughter's little message that SHE left behind on the dining room chalkboard. Made my heart soar! We spent the afternoon downtown last Saturday at a car show and I took a quick phone pic of Summer Lynn dancing on the sidewalk. Isn't that swan headband adorable? Yep, she is the cutest pumpkin in our world for sure!
I have been busy editing images from the wedding that I shot and they are now done and ready to be packaged up to give to the bride and groom. I painted a 5x7 of the wedding dress for the bride as a thank you gift. I love doing that - it also makes my heart soar, as do the changing leaves, the golden October sun, and the beautiful as always swans. I try to bring home a pumpkin to celebrate fall every time I go to the grocery store and I treated myself and Daisy Cottage to fresh roses also purchased there. And one morning, when I was walking the lake, I saw Miss Mini! She is the adorable little duck with her tiny crown of feathers who I simply love to pieces. She has been gone a long long time. I thought I wasn't going to see her again. I love being wrong. Sometimes. ;-)
It's the little things - the big things - the everyday things that make our spirits soar and our hearts sing.
Thank you, as always, for letting me share some of them with you.
Love,
Kim
Ahhh. Pure sweetness from start to finish! All make me smile! Summer Lynn at the chalkboard with those cute little toes, Oh my goodness. That is what you share...GOODNESS!!! So happy you see it in your world, that you make it in your world and that you share it to make it a part of our world! Here's to goodness!

You've given us so many gifts today and I love them all. From Summer Lynn's tippy toes to the beautiful bride and your lovely painting of her dress (she'll be thrilled), from Miss Mini and her windblown-look to the swan and oh-let's-sit-here-and-watch-the-lake bench, this has put a smile on my face. Thank you!

Kim, I think I liked every picture on here today, but that bench pic was great. It reminds me of a favorite park that I go to with the same bench. Summer Lynn's chalkboard writing made me smile, and that's a really good picture of Miss Mini. aahh, the red roses get me every time. Such a wonderful time of year, Kim. I'm so glad to share this season with you. :)
love, ~Sheri

Hello Kim, I met some friends for lunch in Lakeland Saturday, and we also walked around at the car show. I kept my eye out for you, but to no avail. Your downtown area is really pretty!
