...10.21...Over the Weekend...

...for breakfast I made us a couple of vegan cheese biscuits...
...just my regular southern biscuit recipe with a generous handful of vegan cheese...this is the new one from stuffmart...bettergoods cheddar...
...these were a delicious way to start the weekend...
...lots of things were bought...
...Aldi has Almond Nog...for Christmas I guess...
...after I got that stored away...I made a batch of vegan feta...I love this soo much...I think I'll be turning a block of tofu into vegan feta at least once a week...
...and then pretty much the rest of the day was spent outside...
...our sedum arrived earlier this week...so we needed to get it into the ground...
...it's...and we're hoping it will be the perfect replacement for the failed lavender experiment along the driveway...
...and then a quick trip to lowes to get several bales of pine straw...and we smooshed that up under all the bushes that we had trimmed...
...and all around the front of the house...
...it looks so nice and well manicured now...I'm going to wait until the leaves fall from the oak tree beside the house before I do that side because the leaves will just cover up the pine straw...
...and our new little electric tiller had also arrived earlier this week...so we had this gigantor green box sitting in the dinette awaiting assembly...
...the Man tilled up the new square foot garden bed along the fence where we took out the sea oats...
...and another stip along the side of the house where the bulb garden was...and we're going to plant blueberry bushes there...if they ever get here...FedEx says they were delivered...but they definitely were not...so the Man is going through their process to make a claim...
...the ground beside the house is rather poor...and very rocky...
...one of our rattlesnake bean pods must have falled to the ground and sprouted...
...and these vincas are still blooming gorgeously...they have outperformed almost all of our other flowers...so we're definitely getting them again next year...as these were all volunteers from last year's plants...and I'll do a better job of moving them around next year if they sprout up like this again...
...getting the blueberry bed ready...we mixed in 3 ft³ of peat moss...and we'll put another inch or so on top after we plant the bushes...
...so that looks quite a bit better...
...then I sectioned off my square foot garden bed...and planted a bunch of fall greens...
...tendergreens, old fashioned mustard greens, giant, chard, beets, and carrots...
...nice and tidy...I'm going to fix up the beds a bit more before spring...add a border and maybe some grid lines...
...then right at dusky dark...we started decorating for Halloween...the Man hung the orange icicle lights...
...and replaced the overhead lights with these 'flame' lights...you can't really see it in the photo though...
...and I put a little row of solar pumpkin heads along the sidewalk...
...and got out my four decorative Jack-O-Lanterns...
...this pretty one was a gift from Amy...
...and I got this terra cotta one at Goodwill...
...and the two at the door have to be plugged in and we've had them since Our Airman was little...
...so now we're ready for Trick-or-Treaters...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
