I don't know why there's horse hair all over my computer. There are hoof marks on the floor too. Hmm? Oh, well. I'm loving the cool weather. You need to wear a sweater of sweatshirt in the morning, but it is warmer by the afternoon. We had a high of 90 degrees last week, and a low in the high 40s. I just saw something about a boot sale. It happens I drive right by that store tomorrow. Yippee! I just looked at a blog that had beautiful pictures of a house. The blog owner had great taste and put a lot of time, energy, and money into her home and it showed. I don't have any of those three  things, but I'm determined to make my house into a place that makes me happy. I'll show you some of the improvements. Most of it will involve a paint brush. Paint is an inexpensive way to make a home look better. Then I need to tackle the clutter. Maybe I can just paint it. (Just kidding!) Now, I'll see if I can get my kids to help me. Bribes, guilt, begging- ah, the choices! QUESTIONS

1. What's  the one thing you feel is the biggest waste of  your time during an average week?
2. When was the last time you baked a pie?
3. What do you want to spend time doing that you aren't right now? 
4. What do you do with old clothes?
5. If we were having lunch on the porch today, what would you bring for the potluck styled lunch?

My answers:

1. The computer that I'm typing this on. A little bit goes a long way! I can visit FB and Pinterest, but I don't need to make it a full-time job.
2. Last fall, but I'm baking a few apple pies today. I have a crate of baking apples from the farmers market. Hubby couldn't remember what variety, but they are big and beautiful.
3. I want to spend time doing more artwork, but I get caught up in all sorts of things that I wouldn't be caught up with if I conquered the clutter thing. Do you spend too much time looking for things too?
4. I take the good ones to a consignment store, older good ones go to a charity, and things in rotten condition go to fabric recycling that benefits an local animal spay and neuter charity.
5. I would bring one of my apple pies. I would also bring a quiche with broccoli rabe and red peppers. I made one the other night and it was wonderful.

Have a super week!
