Hello October
Things have been busy but not much has been happening. Mostly routine.. both kids have joined clubs so most days one of them is not coming home on the bus and I have to pick them up.
I love spotting mushrooms on walks. I even saw a skunk the other day.. that I stayed far far away from.
I started a new puzzle. How do you puzzle? Do you make the border first or do you just go for it.
Afterwards the boys went to a Rangers (NHL) pre season game and I joined my cousin for a head spa.
If you haven't heard of a head spa.. well it's a place where someone washes your hair for about an hour.
It was so relaxing.. our heads were massaged, brushed, washed, conditioned. Between washes they also massaged our back and gave us a mini facial. Bliss.
With our shiny heads of hair and glowing faces.. no pictures.. we walked around a bit before grabbing two steaming hot bowls of ramen at Tangy Noodles.
Lovely photos. I love the patterns on the mushroom. Good thing you stayed far away from the skunk. The meal bowl 🥣 looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteFungus is good to see, we don't turn our A/C on unless it;s about 30deg C, love the heat if I don't have to work in it. I expect if the humidity is high it makes a difference, so then it needs to be turned on.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of that spa treatment! x
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to check out a head spa!

I tend to work puzzles from the boarder in but it can depend on the puzzle. That head spa sounds fantastic. I am not usually one to enjoy a spa experience but I LOVE getting my hair washed at the salon so your experience does sound so nice and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteI need to go to a headspa now! That sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe boys have grown so tall. It is lovely to see them! The spa treatment sounds perfect!
ReplyDeletelove love love ramen!! yum. I always do the border of a puzzle first.
ReplyDeleteA head spa and massage sounds like bliss. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThe head massage sounds wonderful. I usually do the border first when working on a puzzle.
Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead.
Lovely.

We're having a few days of sun, in the mid 70's! Not warm enough to need AC though. The head spa sounds luxurious.
ReplyDeleteI've heard those head spas are so relaxing. I may need to try one. Looks like you all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteThe spa sounds wonderful... I would love to join you next time. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI too like to do the border first when working a puzzle.

I definitely want to go to a Head Spa! Woo!
ReplyDeleteI LOOOVE me some puzzles - border first! I've been teaching my 3 yr old nephew how to puzzle but he likes to just go for it
ReplyDeleteI love photos of fungi and I especially like that first one! I always do the border first unless it's an irregularly shaped puzzle.
ReplyDeleteAwesome fungi! And that head spa looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThe Ramen looks delicious. Such a good and comforting food. The head spa sounds interesting - have never heard of it before. And the puzzles....I just wing it until all the pieces come together. They are always enjoyable. Your October post was nice. Sometimes the days when not much happening are the best ones.

I always start jigsaw puzzles with the border. Makes things go easier, I think. A head spa sounds like bliss. It is that time of year for lots to do, but nothing terribly exciting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. I love puzzles. I usually do the border first.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of a head massage but it certainly sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHead spa is new to me! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a skunk in person...and I am FINE with that, LOL! I would be staying far, far away as well. A head spa is a great concept, glad you all enjoyed it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeletebusy kids, you will miss it when it is over!! i am a puzzle lover, both online and in real life, the edges always come first. i have never heard of a head spa but i know i would love that!! we have not been able to shut off our a/c, i am super heat sensitive!!
ReplyDeleteI do the edges of a puzzle first always! Oh, a head spa sounds glorious. I love having my head massaged! Those mushrooms are so neat. Yes, I stay far away from skunks, too. They pass through our property often!
ReplyDeleteThe mushrooms are very interesting looking. I never heard of a head spa but it sounds wonderful. Lovely photos
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! I'm starting to experience the overwhelm of after school clubs this year! The mushrooms look amazing, our garden is full of them.

I would love to have a head spa moment right now. Hey, I can relate to that line. Busy but not much is going on. Yep.
ReplyDeleteI just saw someone else post about a head spa. It looks so relaxing! Those mushrooms are beautiful.

That head massage sounds so relaxing, I definitely want to try it.
ReplyDeleteYour children are at the age when you and/or your husband need to find a TAXI sign to attach to your cars!
ReplyDeleteWhen we do puzzles, we always do the border first. I had my hair cut last week and my favorite part is having him wash it. How awesome that spas are offering this because it is so relaxing. The ramen bowl looks delish!!
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like October got off to a grand start for you all! Lots of fun adventuring and relaxing, too! :) We had some of that warm weather for most of September and the start of this month but today is much cooler so maybe fall decided to show up now. Have a great rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteIt's still in the 80's here. I'm looking forward to it cooling down.
ReplyDeleteI need to do that head spa thing!
ReplyDeleteA head spa sounds absolutely amazing! I also really love autumn walks and spotting mushrooms :) Hope you'll have a great rest of October!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this time of year, and sometimes it's a good thing that nothing much is happening. I can't get my head around someone washing your hair for about an hour. I don't think I'd find that very relaxing, but I'm glad to read that you did! xxx
ReplyDeleteI also prefer to start a puzzle with the border first, also I have never heard of a head spa but it souds relaxing
ReplyDeletehI hENA, You had me at puzzle and head spa! My kids are adamant that puzzles start with borders and color schemes. Okay must get details on head spa. Is this in the city. Since I am not sure which state the Rangers ... wait it's NY so is the head spa in the city. Adding to my trip list for my next visit!
ReplyDeletexo laura need something to watch and read. I gave up on House of Guiness when I read the review it was succession but set around a beer family in Ireland. xo laura in Colorado
I’ve never heard of a head spa, it sounds interesting xx
ReplyDeleteI remember those days having to pick kids up from after school activities, they were not fun. Gorgeous mushroom photos.
ReplyDeleteI always do the border first on jigsaw puzzles. A head spa sounds amazing! Temperatures have still been in the 90s here. I'm so ready for cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteThe head spa sounds like such a relaxing experience. I can't believe we're still getting 80 degree weather in October but it seems like it will be more fall like soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...that head spa sounds sooooooo relaxing. I would love that.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a headspa, but it sounds like the kind of place I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the skunk! I see quite a few on our nightly dog walking jaunts and we always high tail it to the other side of the street too.
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your photos of the mushrooms, and hopefully the weather will become cooler as October goes on.
ReplyDeleteA head spa sounds amazing, and I definitely want to go to one now!
Those noodles look delicious. I love the mushroom pictures, too. We have had some really amazing and almost terrifying mushroom in our yard this fall!
ReplyDeletewelcome October... calm temperatures.....
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing beautiful photos....
Nice photos! I adore October, my favorite month, I hope it won't go by too quickly.

Wow you found some cool mushrooms. I always do the border first when doing a puzzle. I had never heard of a head spa, looks interesting for sure. Nice you were able to have a day out the same time the guys were :)
ReplyDeleteWe had the AC on again too but now it's chilly. I did a headspa and I loved it! That ramen looks tasty. Sorry about the Rangers loss, hopefully they still had fun!
ReplyDeleteThose mushroom photos are gorgeous, you really have such a great eye for photography! I always do the borders first for puzzles, I'm very basic! 😂
ReplyDeleteThat head spa sounds wonderful! I have always loved having my hair washed. When I was little my mom said I would fall asleep when I went to get my hair done, lol. I've been getting the mushrooms in my yard too. Hope you have a good October!

The spa treatment sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWishing you happy October days.
All the best Jan
I have never heard of a head spa...but I am now determined to find one! That sounds amazing!! (Do they dry your hair before you leave?!) Looks like October is going well. You have to love the fluctuating temperatures...one of the best parts of fall, in my opinion:) Happy Thursday to you!
ReplyDeleteAre you in NYC? I say that b/c of the Rangers. We are in western Canada but there's a lot of hockey folks here, lol. I hope it's cooled down now. Doing the border first on a puzzle -- is the way to go. Good luck with it.
