Autumn Love

I think this is my favorite season of the year! I plan on making as many pumpkin things as I can this autumn... it just doesn't get old. :)

But first, a little recap via Instagram dump to finish up the summer activities and bring us up to this past weekend:

{I got a cute little zebra mug - the only problem is that the zebra likes to swim in my coffee!}


{Sir Archibald and Lady Hildegard of Drumclog Moss - Our Kingdom names and outfits for Jr. Camp}


{The green shutter redo - a new headboard!}

{An evening walk on the dike}




{A little desk remodel} 


{More shutter renovation} 


{Cool early mornings with my coffee, my Bible, and my journal <3>


{We took a little road trip to Texas and back, stopping in Davenport, IA for the weekend and ending with a couple days at my grandmother's house in KS} 


{Sunset in... Kansas, I think?}


{The French Fry Feed - who would say no to free fried food?} 

 {The first apple pie of the season}


 {These days are perfect for long walks in any of the beautiful parks of Grand Forks}



{Cooler mornings mean steamier coffee}



{Working on some baby shower gifts} 


{Last Saturday = Perfect Saturday}




And that, my dear blog readers who are still hanging around, is some of what I have been up to lately. Or at least, these are the things that I have been photographing! I suppose I should be more diligent in taking pictures and updating all my friends and family on what's going on around here. But we're doing well and just enjoying these beautiful autumn days! I know that winter will be here soon, and though I'm not ready for snow right this minute, I am looking forward to its arrival. I'm anticipating this winter and especially this Christmas - my first one that I'll get to spend with Ethan, since we were in different states last year. It's going to be a special time. :)

Days like pearls, slipping off of a string..

The road to Gabs... this is pretty much
what it looks like, give or take 
a few donkeys, goats, chickens
An evening visitor



A new necklace from Zim
(I love zebras!)


Evening traffic in Gaborone
(Rush hour stinks)


I desperately needed a bookshelf
so I 'built' one. :) 
(Empty boxes and a piece of fabric!)

Coffee from Wimpy's --
It's not *too* bad ;)

"Fabric Paradise"
Gaborone

Cooler days call for warm hats
and boots!


Happy Birthday to Me! (Pt 1)


Happy Birthday to Me! (Pt 2)
I know, I'm so spoiled!
Another visitor... we get lots of drop-in guests!

I think it's so funny that they call 
chicken feet stew "Runaways"

Back home with my birds after spending
several nights in Gabs


I made a friend on the bus home


Lilac-breasted Roller
(National bird of Botswana)

We see hundreds of these
during the dry season!


Came home to a new shoot on my orchid.
I'm convinced that these plants thrive
best when you just ignore them. :)


1 free Saturday + 1 pot melted chocolate =
Wonderful relaxing afternoon
Happy Father's Day!

African Road Hazard

I love having a brother who bakes

These Days

The start of something beautiful -
Grandma's Hot Fudge


Catanerating
(On a Christmas tablecloth)


A good day to wear stripes



Carnage from a day in the print shop



A new teapot


Bush tea and chocolate pie

With my friend, Senziwe


Metsef Post Boxes



Everybody loves a fuzzy blanket



Out for lunch (it was good)


How to tell when money has been in Zim




We played lots of games while 
the guys' group was here




Why does everyone think it is so funny
when I sleep on my back?



Did you know giraffes are so perfectly
camouflaged, you could drive by and
never even know he was there?

Lunch time for Baby David


Coffee from Zim <3


The 'original' toasted orange sandwich



Grace with her course certificate



Just waitin' for a taxi


Mother's Day posies for my Momma


Still harvesting buckets of tomatoes
and carrots from the garden


Conveniently packaged chicken manure -
priced to move!


My little buddy is back from school



Why do late Friday nights almost always
result in impulse bang trims?
