And just like that, it is November. It is unreal, isn't it? With each passing day, I want to inhale the seconds deeper and deeper. So fast our world spins - so very very fast.
I have been cleaning closets and my office and enjoying some fall nesting in Daisy Cottage. I painted one of Papa Goose's feathers yesterday - I hope to get back into the painting groove soon! I have also had several family photo shoots in the past few weeks, including one of Shannon and her family. Baby number two is due in March, as you all know, and Summer Lynn can't wait to meet her sister, but of course! I love how she loves her already. We took these photos at a local ranch and the light was beautiful. :-) The horse came across the pasture strictly to see Summie. And the way they talked to each other made my heart overflow. She is truly an animal whisperer.
I spent this first morning in November at the lake and discovered that we have four baby ducklings! I will forever adore spending time with these precious beings .... so grateful to be able to and so VERY grateful for our special goose and his angel soul. While it is always so hard to walk away from the babies, it is easier to do when I see that Papa Goose is there.
And as our world spins I am so thankful for you. Thank you for being here and for your unconditional love. Not a day goes by that I am not blessed by you.
So hello November. May I embrace the gifts you bring.

Hello back to you and Happy 1st day of November. It's already close to 80 degrees here in MO. We had the 6th warmest October ever. I hear that cooler weather is right around the corner. My big red geraniums are still gorgeous so I didn't even get mums this year. Happy Day sweet Kim! Mary

I love it when you show your home at Daisy Cottage! Also wish I lived close to water so I could enjoy seeing the ducklings.

What a wonderful collection of images and truly lovely ones of your family. Shannon is radiant and Summer Lynn takes after her Birdie with her love of animals.
Your feather painting is amazing. I think knowing it came from Papa Goose truly inspired you.
