cornfield exercisin' and baked goodies

yesterday while hubby was busy installing something i have wanted and waited for, for almost 47 years(more on that in another post to come).......i went for a walk/jog through this.




spent a couple hours in the fields behind our lake jogging and walking. quiet solitary time(with an iphone...:) ) in warm fall air....can't hardly beat that.


came inside and fixed a margherita pizza on whole wheat crust with ingredients from our garden. mmmmmmmmmm.........yumola!





such healthfulness was followed by a couple of these......




made from these.......





wonder who ate the tops......:)





probably one of these two suspicious characters......just sayin'......

thank you dollar tree

frugality struck our log home mantel today.

wanted to give a shout out to dollar tree for adding that fall touch to our mantel.

the rest of the decor used on the mantel is from goodwill and garage saling. i am not obsessed really i am not....:)






the black birds and pumpkins are dollar tree.

silver pieces courtesy of goodwill.





ummmmm, already had this wreath and pear candles on a tray. yes....ok....they were from frugal adventures too.





wish these pears were lined up a little straighter......





garland made from fall paper doilies(source dollar tree...:)stapled to twine. rocket science happening at our house today.





here's a close up so you can follow along....:)





all put together.....

i still think the wreath needs a heavier hanging material for more impact. maybe some black grosgrain ribbon instead of the twine that is holding it up?




thanks again dollar tree!
