We had a lovely Halloween Party tonight

We had a lovely Halloween Party tonight,

The neighbors brought in a DJ for the kids,

The two to six year old crowd really enjoyed it,

We even had a Haunted House in the garbage,

Now to be honest, I don't think they liked the 

Haunted House.

 The perfect front porch

It is finally FALL in Arizona

That makes me so happy!

The nights are cool, and the days are below 100 degrees!

I feel like I am having trouble keeping

up with life.  

I took a little time off and did some

sewing and gardening 

in Washington state.  The smoke was 

finally going away from all the fires.

Here are some wonderful pictures of fall
