Harvest Lane Cottage

Thank you for praying for me. I am home resting and recovering. The surgery went well. Now my body must heal. I will never be able to express my gratitude to all of you who have prayed me through cancer and all the subsequent tests, surgeries and treatments. I have high hopes that this surgery will be the last.  Next up... OCTOBER! One of my favorite months of the year! The leaves are just beginning to turn here in southern Missouri.  Well, enough for now. I hope to write again soon when I feel a bit better. Blessed beyond, Laura

I am having surgery this morning the 29th, at 8 central time. Prayers for recovery are appreciated. I will be away from the computer for a few days. This is a follow up surgery after the breast cancer in 2017. I hope it will be the last. God bless you all. I'll be back in a week or two. Laura I will live and not die and declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Today begins the first full week of  my favorite season of the year— Fall! I'll soon be hanging my fall wreath  and decorating with pumpkins and fall leaves. I've been enjoying an apple cider fragrance cube in my warmer. I'm dreaming of soups and stews.  I even made apple zucchini pecan spice bread. Oh the fragrance and the taste were delightful. We enjoyed cooler weather at a nearby bluegrass festival over the weekend. It was so nice to enjoy the outdoors and good music. So I say so long to summer and hello to fall with joy! Be blessed and seize the joy in each day. Laura Grateful for Another Autumn

Do say hello! ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~ Hello ladies,   IT'S HERE! Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I've been doing some end of summer things, some preparing for Christmas things, and some use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without things this past week. I'll be having surgery on Wednesday. Your prayers will be appreciated. Hopefully, I will recover quickly and be able to take full advantage of this wonderful season. Here's what I've been up to lately. ~ I have been using Walmart Pick-Up. Fewer impulse purchases.  ~ I planned to purchase a new tea, but my friend brought me a box before I ordered it! Blessing! Thank you Joyce!...

  © Amy Lane Photography Hello everyone!    September is just whizzing by isn't it?  We've just finished birthday season in our house. Two of our children have birthdays at the end of August, and one was born yesterday. Tee hee! Now my thoughts turn to fall. It's my favorite season of the year. I love all the colors, activities, and coziness of fall.    Just this weekend, I noticed a couple of trees in our neighborhood are just beginning the blush of color that signals the beauty to come. While I do love the colors of maples, especially the red ones, I hope they will hold off a bit longer. In my perfect world, I would have glorious color in October that slowly falls fades into the russet browns of November as the trees bed down for their long winter's nap.   Let's hope! What is fall like where you live? If you're way down south, what is spring looking like where you live? I've seen some of your planting photos already. ~smile~   Whatever it's like...

Do say hello! ~~~~~ ♥♥♥ ~~~~~ Hello ladies, I did it again! I missed posting on time. This post will be for two weeks this time. What a crazy year this has been! I hope to have lots to share next week. I am doing what I can to use what's in the house. We had extra expenses last month that really added up (house and car repairs especially). This month, I need to try to make up for it. We all know that the easiest way to save money is in the kitchen. Here's what I've been up to lately. ~ I made two loaves of apple zucchini bread and wrapped one for the freezer. It came in handy when a friend came by for iced tea and a chat.          ~My husband recently made  ol...
