Slices of Life

Since tomorrow is the official first day of winter it's time to share how I did with my fall bucket list for this year and start working on my winter bucket list!  Here's how I did with my fall bucket list: Break out my puzzles again and work on a few-- Check! Celebrate Evan's birthday -- Check!   Go to the 21 Pilots Concert -- Check! Go to the movies-- Nope, there just wasn't anything I really wanted to see.  Go on lots of hikes -- Check!  Pick apples and make apple pie--   1/2 a check! I made apple pies from orchard fresh apples but I just picked them up rather than picking them myself. (our favorite kinds of apple aren't available as a U-pick option anyway) Decorate the house for fall -- Check! Burn some fall scented candles/melts -- Check!  Make a new Spotify playlist -- Check! Find some good books to enjoy - Check!  Books I read in October Work on another couple of paintings/art projects -- Check! Find a fun way to celebrate my husband's birthday!...

 Since the 10th falls on a Sunday this month (and I don't blog on the weekends) I thought I'd share my 10 on the 10th a bit early. I love that it also coincides with Friday Favorites since Marsha's 10 on the 10th is often one of my favorite prompts to answer.  Rather than asking us specific questions this month, Marsha has asked us to share 10 things we like to do or eat in November. I thought I'd actually share 10 of each! Now not everything on my list is something we only like to do or eat in November-- we hike pretty much year round and you better believe that many of our favorite foods are enjoyed throughout the fall/winter season too but I'm sure you won't mind me taking a bit of a creative license with the prompt.  10 Things I like to DO in November: Hiking, of course! Though November isn't as pretty for hiking up here it's still not icy and snowy yet so we get out hiking at least once a week. Typically we need coats, gloves, and hats this time of...
