Friday Face OFF 10/27/23

 Welcome to Friday Face OFF (FFO)
This is the place to show off your faces or your face. Post any type of face from any medium. You can create it, or find it in nature, or even that face in the design of woodwork in your house. Any kind of face.
If you are reading this on Friday I am in surgery for my foot. Yes, I know one flippen thing after another with me. LOL
To get ready for surgery I have spent the last week cleaning and getting things organized for Mr. M. so he can take care of me. No one cleans my house like I do.
Part of that is an empty wall in my first living room.  So I decided to hang faces.
This photo makes the area look small but in reality this wall surface is quite large.
These are all old drawings and most of the frames came from the thrift store. It's a great place to find good frames for little money.

T stand for late blooms

 Hi Everyone!

Today I'm joining in with the T-Party over at Bleubeard and Elizabeths

It's been an interesting week. I had the CTA. OMG! I hope I don't have to do that one again. A beta blocker, nitro, and a large fast push of iodine. I swear the IV needle was the size of a straw. I had a darn migraine for 2 days after. 
Waiting for results. 
Like most places our weather is so strange. One day its storming somthing wicked and the next it is like summer. This has allowed flowers to bloom all over again.
 The first 3 photos are bloom along side of my deck.


 They were all gone until the last rain.


 I can't believe these are have bloomed again.


 My Pork n Bean plant is blooming too. She the red? Those are blooms on this plant. Plus it's huge.


 This Nastursium is amazing. All summer it was having a hard time. Now it is a monster of a plant.


 It is so healthy with lots of flowers.


 And look at these, they just keep growing.


 These are in my big garden area and were almost gone. Now they are blooming like it's summer.


 The side yard is ready for winter.


 No garage so these tubs are filled with garden things.


 
One day last week I canned chicken. If you haven't tried canning meat it is so easy and so good. 
 14 pints


 It's so pretty too.


Mr. M. and I watch cooking shows on Saturday. One of the items that was made was Miso Peanut Butter Cookies. They looked good butt.... Mr. M. looked at me with those wanting eyes and I knew he wanted MY Peanut Butter Cookies.
 My PB Cookies.
 


ACV coming along great!


I stirred the ACV everyday for 2 weeks. Now these jars will sit in the corner of my dark pantry for 4 to 6 weeks. See how the apples have floated up? This is good. All the sugars are sinking to the bottom. Yay!!! I will be back in when it is ready to strain.


 
On our monthly trip to Salem I thought this was such a pretty place.
Now for something to drink.
 
Me and my friends? LOL
Halloween Café, Witches drinking Coffee, (1 HR) Halloween Ambience,  Instrumental Halloween Music - YouTube
Or
Me and my friends. LOL

Either way I love the gatherings.
