Why I Oughta...

Don't mind if I do....

It looked a lot better that it tasted, unfortunately.

Looks a bit different today , doesn't it?

That ghostie is pretty cute.  And so is the pumpkin totem pole!

Took a few months, but we finally have some real roots on a hydrangea cutting I took earlier this summer.  I clipped off the big leaves and am going to plant it outside in the next few days and watch it closely....

I was driving by the Football Field @ York High School recently and noticed some nice new banners directing people to the home/away gate.  The problem?  See that big black space between the 'r' and 's' in "Visitors"? Looks like someone didn't get A's in grammar because they've used some tape to black out the apostrophe. And these folks are teaching our youth!  Ha! (I should note...that if you read this blog a lot, I often-times make typos/mistakes....so....you might be thinking that maybe I shouldn't be calling them out? Too bad for you!)

Yesterday, we walked past the Heavenly Cupcake Shop on York Street to see this letter posted in the front window.  Having opened in late January 2010, they're now closed.  For good. That's the second bakery to close this month following the closure of our Elmhurst location of Bleeding Heart Bakery. But....baked good fans....all is not lost!  As we noted last week, a new place called Courageous Bakery is opening on Park Avenue just across the tracks.   Based on a comment on that post, they're trying to get the place open within the next week and a half .

Talk about a mild winter?  These are Mums that we bought last fall for our front porch.  After the fall, I stuck them in the ground real quick and guess what?  They came back this spring.  So I transplanted them to a different spot and they're doing really well!

Welp....it was time to get an overgrip.

Back in the Spring, when I was ordering this year's new bunny mold , I also picked up this witch.  I cut down the white plastic molding on the sides last night to get room for the binder clips to grab hold.  I picked up the water putty last weekend, so now it is just a matter of finding time to make the witch(es). Have to get going on it early so they'll dry out in time to get painted and (maybe?) antiqued.
