Mendota Daily September 5

Yesterday I gathered up corn stalks and made fodder shocks for the front walkway and the back patio. I added an orange harvest bow tonight. Here’s a photo that I took at sunset.

Did I make this bow? Are you kidding? Ms. Betty, Floral Manager for Food City in Weber City, Virginia, made it for me for $6.99. I cannot buy the six feet of ribbon this bow requires for that price, and I sure cannot make a bow as fine as Ms. Betty!

Also, I fixed my framed “B” in the front entry.   I usually have a framed white “B” on black chalk in the foyer , but I changed it to a fall-themed “B”.   In a post last week, I detailed how I totally screwed up transferring the “B”.  However, that is all in the past.   I read the directions this time!

 And here’s how it looks as part of the entry vignette…

I’ve been working on things around the house all day. I’m reorganizing our laundry room, made a valance for that room and made a valance for the guest house. Can’t wait to share these with you.

    Love seeing your pics and hearing about all of the neat things you’re doing. You’re like a “normal” Martha Stewart!
