@apirateslifeforme Thank your for sharing pics of your awesome day. Sounds like Josh really had a fun filled birthday. Loved reading about your trip to the museums, 2 places I really miss in Spfld, Ma. You must live really close to it! BTW--You are not fat! I loved seeing a pic of the 2 of you (and I don't think you had to specify that you were the one in the 'tards' lol!

@apirateslifeforme Yay, our first participant! Glad Josh had such a great birthday, LOVE THE PICS!

@PollyannaMom forgot to say, LOVE the CAT photo! I would do that, too, if I had a cat!

@Kirby thanks for the recipe!

That is the one time of year I miss most about living in NE (Massachusetts)..such beautiful fall foliage

You're not in MA anymore?

Good morning.

I am not a coffee drinker so the pumpkin spice coffees don't impact me. A pumpkin spice donut once a year would be fine. And I like pumpkin pie.

Wouldn't it be fun to do something like that right here on this thread? I used to run the Scavenger Hunts on the Photography Board and we had a blast! We could add in some other fall items, too. And just post as we find them.

QOTD Wednesday, August 19th: Are you interested in participating in a fun Fall Scavenger Hunt with photos posted right here on this thread? Yes or No. If we get enough yeses, we could start immediately since fall items are currently out already. As part of your answer you could submit ideas for items to look for. I can start to work on a list, as well. If you're not out and about you could still find items in magazines or online, etc.

I assume this would be someone posting things to find and document with a photo? Sounds fun and maybe a change form QOTD for a bit.

No..Born, raised, and lived there most of my life. Moved to MD after meeting my husband and have lived here for 20 1/2 years now! Foliage here is zilch compared to NE!

Tina - west wing, I love that show and two years ago would watch an episode every Thursday during lunch. I love CJ and powerful women and josh makes me laugh.
Vacation - umm Disney world , of course. Then Boston to see friends. My kids want to go to NYC, I’ve been twice and not a fan. So , I told them they have already been to Boston, Chicago , and Indianapolis, so New York City is the same. I’m kidding.
We have been putting money away since they were little for college. I also refer to this savings as my Mediterranean cruise fund. My dream is they get scholarships to college, then being sad they have left the nest, I spend a month sailing the Mediterranean.
Pumpkin spice - love the drink and pie, but rest is usually took fakey. I would enjoy finding fall photos

Pea, I am so glad you have a furry doggie friend already. Thank you for trying to adopt another.

Loved waking up to a bunch of new posts this morning

Liz, so glad Josh had a Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing the photos

As for the Fall scavenger hint, in non plague years, I'd love to join in but not sure how I could from home this year I could Google items to find....but would not be able to go out in the world to truly spot them Right now anyway.

Fall wreaths on doors
Biggest and smallest of the pretty fall leaves

Critters preparing for winter
Clothes with fall sayings on them

That’s ok, I thought of you! Once you start looking around even at home you may be able to find some things. But if not you are welcome to find items to share however you can. I don’t want Covid to be a barrier to participation!

does this count?


I went for coffee; picked up a dozen (French cruellers and chocolate iced w/sprinkles) and tried to get a 10pk of the apple cider holes. They were out of them, so went with pumpkin.

Glad you got a treat, Bianca and Bernard!

I realized I do have a Harvest Blessings small wall banner come Autumn I always put up in the kitchen. I can take a picture of that come the end of next month.

Maybe......depends.
Online would be the only way. I won't go out looking, no magazines.
Photo album online is limited the family photos (usually Disney trip related) and for the last year or so
