Looks like I will have to make some more of these book pumpkins. Grew no pumpkins in my garden this year. Have healthy vines with lots of flowers and bees, but all male. Next year!
Do you like to decorate with pumpkins in the fall?

I love the September weather! Fall in the morning and evening. Summer during the day. What's your favorite thing about this time of year?

Sharing a tip from my book.
This was a 90's mail order publication, where you eventually filled the binder with monthly mail outs. I believe there were subscription binders of other subjects too.
It is a encyclopedia!

Have you ever recycled your old t-shirts?
I have used for making pillow covers, stretched over canvas for wall art and also to make T-shirt yarn.
I made a video of how to make t-shirt yarn on my channel and I'll link in the comments if anyone would like to check it out.

Have you tried any new recipes lately? I tried a new one this weekend.
I love trying new recipes but usually don't try a recipe unless I'm pretty sure one of us will enjoy but I did make salisbury steak recipe not too long ago and we discovered that neither of us are a fan. ๐Ÿ˜
This coconut cake recipe though is a keeper. Very good! I'll add the recipe in the comments.
Have a wonderful Sunday. ๐Ÿ’›

It's that time of year again... seed-saving time! ๐ŸŒฑ
I haven't bought seeds for marigolds, calendula, cosmos, nasturtiums, and some others for years. I simply stop deadheading some plants, let them go to seed, then collect and save them for next year.
For onions I leave a couple in the ground so they can grow flower stalks the next year.
I still buy seeds, but saving my own has definitely saved me money over the years. I also scatter some perennial seeds right back into the garden where I want my flower patches to spread.
Only thing better than more plants is... more plants for free!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Do you save seeds from your garden?

First of many! ๐Ÿ˜‹Do you grow cherry tomatoes?

I hope bee-utiful things are buzzing your way this Friday! ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒป

When I was out watching the bees, two landed like eyes on this sunflower. It makes me smile. ๐Ÿ˜Š
