This week has been full of:

I've had my eye on this spooky-looking plant in my parents' front yard for a while. It finally bloomed! The pear trees out front have been weighed down with these tiny, sweet pears for the last couple of weeks.  The limbs were almost at the breaking point when I finally got out there to pick them. Thanks to my Nana and our neighbor, Granny, I've recently come into a lot of apples.  There's no way I could eat or bake them all into something, so I decided to can them.  Come October when the four of us are 500 miles away...

Glass bottles make me smile.

I'm just gonna go ahead and warn everyone: this post is about to be a link fest.

So it doesn't matter whether or not you love Mad Men as much as me, Mad Men Yourself.  It is quite fun. This is me.
