Happy Monday Morning
October 18, 2010
A few nice things on my mind this bright Monday morning ...
We have a field trip today to a nearby forest reservation. I plan to take LOTS of pictures! Our foliage is at its peak right now and the day is just gorgeous - sunny and crisp.

As you can see from the picture above, our front steps are overflowing with mums in all shades of the autumn rainbow. There are some kale plants and pumpkins tucked in along the steps too.

Yesterday at the nursery I picked up a whole bunch of daffodil bulbs. We have plenty of crocus and snowdrops in our yard but not even one sunny little daffodil. Hopefully next spring will be a different story (if I can get these bulbs in the ground before frost!).

Monday is bedroom day, and I have a new set of flannel sheets in the dryer at this very moment. They're the prettiest shade of soft maroon and gray-blue plaid. They match the floral quilt and shams we have on our bed perfectly, and they are so incredibly soft. I can't wait to make up our bed fresh later today.

In the refrigerator I have all the fixings for a meatloaf. It's such a fall supper I think, homemade meatloaf with potatoes and some other vegetable (tonight, probably squash). Earlybird will beg for mac and cheese on the side, because he's not all that big a fan of meatloaf lol.

And finally, I'm very excited for my new file folder bin that Bill installed for me over the weekend. For some time now I've been wanting a better place to display my current week's folder rather than just tucked into the back of my planner. I needed to have the materials inside more accessible and I wanted to see the post-it notes I have stuck all over the front cover. This new bin seems to be the perfect solution! (A post on all this to come one day later this week.)

Hope your week is off to a good start ~ I'll check back in again soon! :)
