Messy Messy Fail - As I post my last catch up party, I've learned my lesson......NO PROCRASTINATING!

Tidy Victory - This is such a good life lesson.  I needed some time to gather myself back together after a life-changing event, and I did it.  We can do hard things!

Messy Messy Fail - My poor pumpkin patch is doing horribly this year.  We'll be lucky if we get any pumpkins - too many critters and too dry!

Tidy Victory - My lawn is doing okay!  I haven't mowed in about two weeks and for the most part it's still somewhat green while the rest of WNY is crispy and dry!

Messy Messy Fail - Do you love scouring FB marketplace for good deals like I do?  The worst is when you don't hear back on a good deal and you lose it!

Tidy Victory - I've scored so many great items throughout the years, not to mention being resourceful in not buying new.

Messy Messy Fail - Please nobody give me books to borrow ANYMORE!  I finished a borrowed book, had it in my car to drop off, a random water bottle was throw in the car, guess where it landed.

Tidy Victory - Amazon to the rescue - new copy on the way to the lovely soul who lent it to me for over a year!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #587

Messy Messy Fail - I've got three random apple trees that were randomly plopped too close together in the back yard by the white barn.

Tidy Victory - Fall is the time to dig them up and replant them - let's see if I can do it!

Messy Messy Fail - Summer is drawing to a close.  Did I get to all of the things I wanted to do this summer?  Of course not.

Tidy Victory - I've never loved where I live so much.  It may be a messy but it's mine!

Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #597

Messy Messy Fail - This isn't my fail - I blame mother nature - but the summer has been SO HOT and SO DRY.  My pumpkin patch is not happy with me at all.

Tidy Victory - Ordering a 150 ft. hose to get water from the house to the pumpkins!
