Again, welcome! It’s our last couple of weeks in school for the year, and naturally, I am having trouble sleeping… So,tonight’s SYS is getting up rather late (I zonked out on the couch after dinner), but it’ll be up for you, yeah! I am writing my own posts, but nothing is finished…

I did finish painting our office/spare bedroom but need hubby to help put the bed together before I snap a couple of photos for you. Then that post will be done. It looks really nice and open with the new furniture arrangement!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I am soooo sorry about last week… I forgot to add into the post two weeks ago that I would be taking last Wednesday off because of Thanksgiving week. I was pretty tired and I wanted to just enjoy the week, spend time with Mr. Ethereal (who took the week off from work) and my MIL, and I worked on putting up more Christmas decor.

I’ve been painting in our spare bedroom/office, too! It’s all done and looks great. Look for a post on that transformation coming soon. 🙂

Let’s get to our features and I am finding I need to back off on how many features I put up. This week I am just going to pick my favorite five as I have an eye appointment this evening…

We had a couple of days of rain over the past week and just having an inch or so has really perked up all of our plants! How about you? How is your fall garden doing? Our garden beds have enjoyed a second growing season with the advent of cooler weather. Sooo nice to see plants which were really suffering are now really happy…

Well, getting perennials planted in the ground and taking cuttings of existing plants are what I have been doing a lot of this fall, when I have time. So nice that we have had a long fall season with no freezes yet!

Other than that, what all have you been up to? Hopefully you are enjoying good fall weather in your neck of the woods!!

Let’s check out this week’s features…

***Here’s what I shared this past week at* *French Ethereal…***

Happy Wednesday evening to you all!! My mother-in-law stopped by as I was prepping for this post, so up a bit later than I’d like, but that’s how things roll around here. ;)’ Last night we had our first night in the high-30’s, and I worked until after dusk getting plants covered and some moved into the big shed/greenhouse. It was a busy couple of hours running a power cord through a window again and making insulation pieces to fit in the vents to keep the cold out, but now the shed is ready for winter. 🙂

So, that’s what’s going on around here lately. I do have a post to share soon with how our garden looks with the new flower beds dug and more perennials and small trees planted. It’s coming along nicely!

Let’s check out this week’s features… It’s all about Halloween/All Hallow’s Eve with some fun and mildly spooky ideas to inspire!! We have a Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) table display at school surrounded by books which work for the season, and it’s fun to see how this week’s post fits in with that theme, too!

And here are this week’s featured posts…

halloween table styling — Too funny! Love this cute table setting from **Maryjo from Master “Pieces” of My Life!!**
Great title, too ~ Bone Appetit Tablescape. Hee hee! Makes me think of that poem,
“Come on in, take off your skin and rattle around in your bones…”

purple-Halloween-table-black-bat-folded-napkin — **Debbee from Debbee’s Buzz** had a similar idea in her fun tablescape ~ Gone Batty: Black, White and Purple Tablescape. So adorable!!!

French Floral Dress in Istanbul — **Jennifer from Curated by Jennifer** shared a story about her dainty French Floral Dress as part of her trip to Istanbul (a nice series of stories, if you haven’t hopped over to Jennifer’s site before.) Perfect for hot weather! I love clothes which travel and wear well. <3

**Penny from Penny’s Treasures** has used perfectly soft fall colors to decorate her Halloween bar in this post ~ Spooky After School Snack Board. Cute!!!

No posts this week for you. I spent that earlier part of last week cleaning up after Yoda’s unhappy tummy issues and then the rest just being tired from shelving hundreds of pounds of books.
