Project 365 ~ Week 44: A bit under the weather and some Fall Color

My week started with a trip to the drug store. It really started on the Friday before when I began to feel no so hot. By Sunday I was not a happy camper. My head felt like it was full of cotton and generally all I wanted to do was sit cuddled up under a blanket.

I’m a confirmed Alka Seltzer Plus advocate. For me it just works better than anything else I have tried. I also love the Halls cherry lozenges. They are packed with vitamin C, Zinc and Echinacea. Plus they are very tasty and help with your sore throat!

I was feeling a bit better by Tuesday, enough to give my orange marmalade a taste. I was so pleased with the results. Click here for the recipe if you are so inclined.

Not much photo worthy happened or maybe I was just milking the cold. I did take advantage of the situation to get a bit of rest.

I have a tiny bit of fall happening in the back yard. There is not much of a fall showing but the Crepe Myrtles add a nice little pop of color.

Saturday morning turned out to be absolutely glorious. I was feeling much better so the whole family packed into the car and we made a day trip up to the north Georgia mountains to enjoy some of the fall color.

It was a beautiful cool cloudless day and the fall foliage was stunning. God did some great work across the North Georgia Mountains.

We returned home with a few bags of apples, some sorghum syrup and some peanut brittle. I think there may be a pie or two and maybe some home made apple sauce in the very near future.

Well that’s it for my week. I hope you all are enjoying all the fall color and taking advantage of the change in season.

Love the mountain pics! And I'm glad you felt well enough to go.

I don't like marmalade, but that looks so yummy I might try it anyway :)

I've never even tried Alka Seltzer for a cold. I may have to remember that when the time comes... which i'm sure is soon.

Nothing more beautiful then fall trees!

Glad you're feeling better.

The fall colors are lovely! Wow--your pictures are always so vivid. I am searching for McIntosh apples here and can't find any to make applesauce.

Beautiful post.
Saw the following on a plaque recently:

Delicious AUTUMN!

My very soul is wedded to it.
And if I were a bird I would
fly about the earth
seeking successive Autumns.

I really love the N. Georgia pictures. I do miss not living in Marietta anymore.

Beautiful fall in Georgia!! It's funny, as much as I adore the colors on the trees, it's always the amazing blue sky that just blows me away.

I've had a cold, too. I almost NEVER get sick anymore. But I guess FOUR kids blowing their snot everywhere for a week proved to be too much for even MY immune system. ;)

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
