decorations

fall is in full swing here in MT...all the leaves rustling around the grass, all my plants going into hibernation, grass mowed for the last time (buck still needs to do) & driving anywhere it sends me straight away into bliss...love the colors of fall!

chloe loves playing in the leaves outside...we picked some yesterday & played outside in our 70 degree weather- soon to change by the looks of the forecast & skies.

i'm putting up halloween decorations today...love getting these out every year! it's the one time of year (these 3 next months) that i have control over the "wildlife" that normally decorates my shelves & walls! buck's lucky they (his dead things) don't get decorated too!!! LOL

brinley had a rough night last night- her peak flow number was at 200 in the morning and by bed time she was at 115 struggling to breathe & couldn't stop her barking cough. kept her home today...went to dr...viral cough- doing breathing treatments as needed. poor girl! plus i broke the news to her she has to get her flu shot...total anxiety attack! she doesn't do well w/ needles- usually takes at least 3 or 4 people to hold her down.

i donated blood yesterday...they kept tabs on me this time really well w/ several reminder calls about my donation time. they are in serious need of O- blood right now. i am quite passionate about donation (of any type)...please donate blood...it could save someones life! i just hope the next time i go in (dec. 4th) that i don't have the same gal....man i have never had a needle shoved in so hard & taken out so viciously! crazy!

please say a few prayers for my mom too...she's having some health issues & they can't figure out what it is...love you MOM!

Hope your DD feels better quickly! Thank you for donating blood!! When Preemie Boy was born, he had no platelets and required over 70 transfusions when he was in the NICU. It's people like you who literally saved his life. As the mom, I can't thank you enough.
