366: Day 296-302

The roses I got are still going strong. even as I write this on Sunday.

 

If last week was unexciting this week was better. Martha follows me on Pinterest! But wait, it gets better.

 

Look what I got in the mail! remember when I got all the Martha goodies? Turned out there was a legal issue with me entering in the competition because I’m not a US resident and they were sorry for the confusion and sent me a consolation gift. How sweet is that? With all this you’d think I’d be on Martha’s Christmas card list this year, haha!

 

First snow! I couldn’t get a good photo outside because it started snowing late at night but then Wille called me when he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Snow!

 

My man.

 

Twice a year we have a large dumpster in our neighborhood where we can drop off garden debris which is so great. Wille and I cleared the back yard on Friday night and I went to check on the frosty result on Saturday morning  in my pj’s. Still some leaves to fall off the apple tree but I’ll just add them to the compost as they fall.

 

My friend Sanna and I had planed to got to a retro fair this weekend but it turned out to be cancelled so instead we went to Moderna Museet and saw the Picasso vs. Duchamp and the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibitions. We weren’t impressed but we did spend an awfully long time in the museum shop.

That was quite an eventful week for a change.

Martha following you, you lucky girl!!! Yes, I think you'll be on her Christmas card list this year 😊! Have a nice week, Benita!

It seems so odd that you are getting snow in October. We had a huge dump of snow only last week here in the Blue Mountains, Australia. It doesn't seem right that snow is falling on both hemispheres at the same time. You can have it all now :)

[Leena]

Oh wow! Great attention from Martha!
I love frosty grass, and the sound it makes under your feet.

[Anne]

Oh my God! You and Martha - new best friends!!! I'm so excited (shows what an thrilling life I lead...). I'm looking forward to your company come Saturday even though I am now further down on your friends list ;)

[Carlos]

Don't worry, you top Martha any day!

Loving the Martha magic x

Woo, exciting news about Martha. I've just started Pinterest - so addictive xo

[nicolezh]

Bonus is a Mr. Handsome!

[jja]

We also have snow, to early if you ask me...

[Zosia]

We've got snow in Warsaw too. Martha following you - cool!
Bonus, that look - swoon ;-).

[Erin]

So cool that Martha is following you! Bummer about the contest rules but it was sweet of them to send you a consolation gift (what was it??). Museum gift shops are my weakness, they always have the neatest treasures there.

A very eventful week!

I guess you have a (secret?) admirer in Martha, which is kind of cool:)

[Jennica]

Wow! Att ha Martha Stewart som följare är stort!! :)

Ah, Monday. I find myself looking forward to Mondays because of your 365(6) project. I admire you ability to include photos from each and every day. Next year. I'll do that next year. I make that promise to myself.

I'm sorry that you weren't able to participate in the competition; they'll have to re-think their rules, I think!

I, too, love the first snowfall of the season and also the crunch, crunch of frost underfoot. Those are magical events of the season.

Thank you for each and every image that you post. Each one draws memories and emotions for us--even if we don't comment on them. And for each one, we are grateful.

I discovered your blog by reading through another french on. This weekend, i read all you articles, and had a look at your nice pictures. I learnt more about you, and i like what you put in your blog...looking forward to read you as soon as you post something.

We also had some snow flakes here,in the French Provence, on saturday night...so strange!
