Bittersweet...

So... I took a vacation day... God forbid... To attend the annual NYS CEC ( council of exceptional children) conference. A conference that I was scheduled to present at... And what do you suppose happens...SICK! Ugh! and of course on a beautiful fall day... So I slept most of the morning... And determined to shake myself out of the depression I felt having missed my conference ... And disappointing the world, I took a bunch of cold medicine and headed to my MIL house with my three year old, Layton, to try and salvage the day... And that we did!
While there we decided to make a wreath out of bittersweet gathered on their property. But first I needed a frame...and my FIL and BIL delivered!


Next, we took the gator out into the grapes...and looked for the bittersweet...


There was so much and it was such a beautiful day! It sparkled in the sun...Layton and Shirley got to work chopping down the bittersweet...


As I wove and wove and wove...


Until... Voilà... A fall wreath...


Then my nephew Nick drive us out to the corn field to get some corn stalks ...


And we chopped some down for our front porch...


So even though the day started as a disappointment... I decided that it was ... well ... Bittersweet!
