Crazy Beautiful Weather in November

This is a very busy week.  With my second largest 

craft show beginning on Friday and running through Sunday

there is a need for me to have a lot of things made up 

and organized.

We are also having an extended family Thanksgiving

this year, which we are excited about.

We have family coming from Virginia and cousins

I don't ever remember meeting coming from York County.

I can't wait to make their acquaintance.

I remember being at their Grandparent's house 

when I was a kid.

Precious memories.

I've been back and forth about the best timing to 

do the shopping, cooking, candle making and packing.

This morning Chelsea and I thought we would get to Costco

just as they opened and beat the crowds.

Ha!

Well, you can't blame us for trying.

We got there fifteen minutes after they opened

and drove around and around waiting for a parking 

space to open up from someone who had actually 

been there fifteen minutes earlier and had made 

record time gathering their items.

I've been making candles at every available moment

and today was no exception.

This afternoon I thought perhaps I would begin setting

up over at the Lime Valley Mill.

And so Chelsea and I loaded the car and headed over.

However, it was all locked up.

I must have hit it just at a bad time when no one

was there to set up, etc.

It isn't a problem.

I'll just do it in the morning but since we were there

and it was so pretty I decided to walk around 

and grab a few pictures.

One of the covered bridges that Lancaster County 

is known for.

Sadly, this one is closed at the moment.

Hoping it can reopen soon.

 The glass is wavy.

Just look at those windows.

I decided to try using the panorama setting. 

It was soooo cold last year this time. 

We will be in the 50's through the end of the week

from the sounds of things and that will make 

hanging out in The Mill much nicer.

This is going to be GOOD!

Soon after getting home I was folding laundry 

when Warren's mom popped in.

She was doing some yard work and found this 

Clematis blooming on the side of her shed.

Seriously...in late November.

What a year!!

I would gladly sign up for the same kind of 

November next year.

The roses are going strong and the cows are 

still enjoying a green pasture.

Not so bad.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
