Whiteley Creek Homestead

Today is a drizzly 61° mid-October day. Although many leaves have fluttered to the ground, there is a pretty mix of autumn color still remaining on the trees. It's a perfect cozy indoor day to tackle this and that… the little tasks that accumulate rapidly. I recently purchased a notebook that caught my eye while shopping in OfficeMax for printer ink. I love the pops of color in the crowd's umbrellas against the black and white photo of a bustling city street. I decided to use the notebook to jot down those little tasks for when I have a few moments to complete them. 

What are the little tasks included in my notebook that I have completed so far today? I ordered a blender container to replace one with a broken base, filled out antifreeze rebate forms, searched the Internet for tires to replace the ones on our vintage travel trailer that we are restoring, and revisited the blog stylebyemilyhenderson.com to consider whether I could realistically chisel out enough time to tackle an "I'm a Giant" dollhouse decorating challenge by the Dec. 15 target completion date. Yes, I think know I can. I have a very nontypical dollhouse in mind. It is far from elaborate, thus keeping it within my time constraints, and it will be oh, so adorable! O.K., so that's as far as today's completion of my tasks list is going. My mind is now blossoming with dollhouse decorating ideas. Just that quick… it happens. I am off on another adventure. My list will wait.
