My Fall Bucket List:

- Burn some fall scented candles/melts
- Make a new Spotify playlist
- Find some good books to enjoy
- Work on another couple of painting/art projects
- Find a fun way to celebrate my husband's birthday!
- Send Alec a couple of care packages
- Enjoy parents' weekend at his college with him
- Try some new fall recipes

5. Enjoy 4th of July with the Family-- Check!
6. Watch some fireworks-- Check!
7. Make some homemade jam-- Check! We made strawberry and blueberry jam this year.
8. Enjoy an occasional ice cream treat without any guilt-- Check! (though I'm not sure about the no guilt part!)
9. Cook up some delicious recipes (old and new!) with our CSA box of produce-- Check!
11. Visit the botanical gardens-- Check!
12. Take Alec shopping for college-- Check! We ended our shopping trip at two local nurseries since he had a few plants he wanted to buy and bring with him too.
13. Try a new restaurant-- Check! We went to Alicante and had a delicious date night out.
14. Go to the movies-- Check! We went to see Bad Boys: Ride or Die
15. Play cornhole-- Nope!
16. USE my calligraphy set!-- Check! I don't like how anything came out and I'm really struggling to get ink to stay in the pen that came with the pen and ink set but I'll keep at it.
17. Get caught up on scrapbooking-- Check! Of course this is ongoing and I now have more photos but at the very start of August I was completely caught up.
18. Paint at least a few new pictures using the new paints I was gifted for Mother's day-- 1/2 a check. I only got one painted finished.

DeleteWhat a great summer it looked like you had! Good luck checking off your Fall items.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI think you did great on your summer list and your fall list is do-able! It's really fun to make these lists and be intentional!
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteWhat a wonderful summer it was! I love your list for fall.

Aw, thank you!
DeleteGreat job! Always love seeing what you accomplish :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYour summer was such a good one! Enjoyed seeing all of the photos and getting a recap of all of your bucket list items. Good luck with your fall list :).
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou aced your summer bucket list! I enjoyed looking at all your summer fun and delicious food-now it's our turn soon. Yay!!
ReplyDeleteRuth@playworkeatrepeat
Aw, thank you!
DeleteAll of that yummy ice cream is making me hungry! Happy belated birthday! It looks like a good one!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! I can not pass up a good ice cream cone in the summer.
DeleteYour summer looks picture perfect! Enjoy your fall adventures!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSounds like you had a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list! I love puzzles, but once I start I can't stop.
ReplyDeleteThat was from me :)
DeleteI'm the same way! I've mostly moved on to making smaller puzzles that I can complete in an afternoon.
DeleteI'm so proud of you!! What a grand summer you have had, checking off so many of your bucket list items. I need to take a peek at my list. A lot of NOPEs, I am afraid, on mine. Your jam looks so delicious. Did you mix berries into one jam or make 2 separate types?
ReplyDeleteGimme all the ice cream. And I will struggle with guilt, too, but my gosh, it is worth it. We don't keep ice cream in the house very often. So we pay a lot more for a one time treat but at least the temptation isn't in the frig where we can get in trouble everyday.
Love the lake pictures, shopping with your mom...that burger!! The close up photo of you. Cutie pie. Graduation. Grand summer.
And your fall plans sound like much fun and very doable. Hope you will paint again soon. Your summer painting is so pretty. All that glorious green. Maybe you can do the same scene with the fall colors?
You've inspired me to create a one-footed fall bucket list just to inspire me to do something more than sit until Christmas!! XO
I made 2 separate types of jam; one strawberry and one blueberry. We do the same thing with ice cream! I'd much rather pay to go out and get it than have it in the freezer where I'd be eating it for days. That is a great idea to try recreating that same painting scene with fall colors!
DeleteWe share a few fall bucket list items! And we went to see 21 Pilots last time they were here and loved it-hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteWe just went this Friday night and wow! What a show they put on!
DeleteWhat a great list! I hope you get to do everything!
ReplyDeleteYou did really well with your summer one.
Thank you!
DeleteThose are great lists! Good for you for getting so many things crossed off your list! Especially getting caught up on scrapbooking! I haven't listened to too much of 21 Pilots but someone I know recently went to one of their shows and it looked like they put on a really great concert!
ReplyDeleteIt really was an amazing concert! My husband and I aren't "concert" people and were mostly going for our son but we loved it.
DeleteYou did great with your summer list. I didn't make one, but have one for fall I'm determined to get to. I'm behind on scrapbooking (always!), but am determined to get a few pages done before Christmas. We play a lot of cornhole here. We have a great spot for it which helps.
ReplyDeleteI love cornhole and was surprised that I never got around to playing it this summer. I did have a whole month though where my back was bothering me so the few times we had it out I was afraid to play and pay for it later.
DeleteI love to read too and it looks like you enjoyed some time outside and some yummy snacks during reading time! Ohhh, homemade jam sounds so good! I need to try that someday!

Thank you! We make a very easy 3 ingredient freezer jam (berries, sugar, and lemon juice) since I never learned how to properly can/jar anything.
DeleteImpressive how much you accomplished!
ReplyDeleteSome things are never caught up but it feels good to get to where you don't feel behind, right?
Xoxo

Exactly!
DeleteLove your list. I've just finished my 3rd jigsaw puzzle this month. Finished my first book in September with several more waiting in the wings. I didn't actually make a list but another for me is watching all the Harry Potter movies. We've watched 3 and have one more to go. Hope you accomplish everything on the list.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh we made it a goal to watch all the Harry Potter movies one fall since we were headed to Universal Studios. It was a lot of fun!
DeleteYou make me think that it is actually very handy to make such a list. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It helps me remember to make the most of each season and make sure we're adding plenty of fun things in so we're not just focused on those thing we have to do.
DeleteHi Joanne. I love the bucket list. It made me think of a couple of things. First, I found a recipe for pumpkin crisp that I'm trying instead of apple crisp. Second, I started my new puzzle because it's puzzle season. And, in a few weeks, I'm reposting my 50-before-50 bucket because one of my items on the list was to repost it at 45.
ReplyDeleteFun coffee share. Happy Saturday.
Thank you! Those sound like some great goals; I'm hoping to pull out a new puzzle tomorrow (we have company coming for dinner tonight so I didn't want that "mess" in our way).
DeleteWhat a fun-filled summer you've had! Your Fall bucket list looks great, too. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou did a great job on your summer bucket list and your fall one looks great! Bucket lists are a great way to make sure you have a ton of fun. I may need to do one this fall!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are!
DeleteSuch great photos, Joanne! I'm jealous of all the time near the water as our days of camping and boating at lakes was my favorite! Great job with your painting! Oh boy--now that dessert makes it good to have a birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteWhat a fun summer you had! We just got back from the beach two days ago. I always love it so much. But I am also glad to get back home and de-sand myself. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, I love the beach but once we get home I am so glad to be done with the sand.
DeleteYou totally smashed summer! And I love your painting.
ReplyDeleteHope you have loads of fun ticking things off your fall list too. :)
Aw, thank you!
DeleteI love that you got most of the things checked off your list!
ReplyDeleteYou have some fun stuff planned for fall!
Thank you!
DeleteGreat job there-92%. That is much better than me.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteCongratulations on doing such a great job on your bucket list! The ice cream looks like the best part to me!

Thank you!
DeletePuzzles, apple pie, and cozy candles sound perfect for the season.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on checking off so much from your summer list—those jams look delicious! 😋
Happy fall!
Thank you so much!
DeleteI live near reds. Don’t go cause of the traffic
ReplyDeleteYeah I am not a fan of traffic or crowds!
DeleteLook at you knocking out almost the entire list! That's awesome! I love your fall bucket list, too! I need to get out my fall puzzle!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI have a box of puzzles that has been sitting in its box for long time. It's time to assemble!
ReplyDeleteMaybe once you are settled and completely finished with the move you'll have time to sit and assemble.
DeleteThe botanical gardens are just beautiful!!! Love your fall bucket list, I've made one pie my whole life and it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We made a couple of apple pies each fall; they are probably the only fruit pies I've ever made.
