Today we are finishing our preparation for hurricane Dorian, while praying she will turn more eastward and go out to sea. Our state is still recovering from the past few hurricanes. Our thoughts and prayers are for those who have already experienced devastation.
This is the calm before the storm.
I took some lavender I had been drying, pulled the buds off and placed them in a jar with lavender oil, I am thinking maybe sachets.
We were given two large bunches of green bananas, from, SIL, once they had ripened,
I sliced them, froze in a pan, then sealed in bags using my food-saver, one of the best machines ever.
They will be used for banana bread, smoothies or just snacks, frozen fruits make the best healthy snacks.
I finished putting some small touches on my fall decorating, once the storm passes by I will begin decorating the outside.This is my little farmhouse village, I have had it for many years
And this is how I piddle! Hope you are having a great, day for those in the path of Dorian, as we are, thoughts and prayers!
Love
Sue

I would not call this piddling. More like ART! Your farmhouse village is a lovely welcoming light. So unusual and pretty. And your mantel, wow! It is just perfect, so beautiful. I love in front of the hearth, too. I put things out, but cannot call it actually decorating like you can do. Is the first photo your house? It is the perfect representation of the much beloved house with the white picket fence.
Your zinnias are beautiful even all cut up!
Love the white lights. :)
Stay safe in the storm!
LOve the picture of your house!!!
Praying you will be safe from the storm.
Oh my goodness!
Your home is beautiful!!!
Prayers for safety, my dear friend!
Be cozy.
I have never froze bananas before but I did happen to see some frozen ones in the store the other day. I did not even know you could buy them. I had a fresh one in my smoothie this morning with a little protein mix and peanut butter. They are yummy. Thanks for sharing. I love the fall decor.
oops...meant to say before closing out the other comment that I hope you are all safe and sound. Stay safe.
I understand the need to piddle while waiting - I might call it puttering! Whatever the word, you used your time to create beautiful and delicious things. I pray that the storm will move out to sea.
You piddle; I putter. 😁 I imagine that staying busy helps when stresses are at play. Praying that Dorian moves right sooner rather than later. It has been incredible to watch over the past week plus.
Your home looks so beautiful and ready for Fall. Great idea with the bananas. Praying for your safety.
I like to piddle, also. It's like doing something without taking all day or a lot of energy. Like picking off Lavender flowers!
Covering you and the whole East Coast with peace and prayers
I call it puttering. You've been really busy. Your house is beautiful. I hope you stay well and safe until this horrid storm passes on out to sea. Enjoy your day, hugs, Edna B.
Your time was well spent. Your home looks lovely.
You have such a beautiful, peaceful home!
Stay safe!
Your home is just gorgeous, I adore that picket fence! I love to "piddle" too. I do get things accomplished, and it can be mindless moving, but it feels good, I love putting things up for winter too. I've just dehydrated some pears and nectarines, and plan on doing some apples and pears too. I picked my lavender earlier this year, and I need to get the seeds now that they've dried. I just love your mantle, and what a great idea to have it on a timer! It does seem so cozy and enjoyable to come to! Praying that the hurricane doesn't cause you any damage or troubles, and continuing in prayer for those who have been affected by it. Blessings and hugs :)
Lots of good piddling! Sure would like to hear how you are after the storm has passed by. Have a blessed evening dear friend, prayers for all affected by the storm!
Sue!!!
