November is always a reminder to us to remember to be thankful!
Hello Friends!
I’m glad you are here. I’m THANKFUL for our friendship. I sure hope your Halloween was full of Tricks and Treats! We had a lovely evening spent outside enjoying all the different costumes. The children were so excited to receive candy!
I Made Scones!
Not just any kind of Scones but Pumpkin scones. I got a mix where you just add water. The scones were delicious!
An Adventure!
After a morning of Pumpkin Scones we were off with friends for an adventure into the desert. We enjoy finding new places but I always insist we go with others. Safety in numbers is our motto.
As many of you know… we are Rock Hounds so we went to an old Copper Mine outside of Buckeye, AZ. We were looking for marbleized calcite. It was easy to find as it was laying all over the surface.
When we got home later that evening we checked to see if the calcite fluoresced. We were not disappointed.
Thank you for the Visit!
It was a great week. Enjoy your first week of November! I’m thankful for all of you. It’s always good to hear from you.
We got lots of trick-or-treaters this year, Nance! Happy November to you two!
Happy Tuesday Nancy, your scones look so good, love that pan! Adding maple syrup to the glaze is brilliant, what wonderful Fall flavors! Your desert excursions always sound like so much fun, such beautiful countryside to explore!

Desert life is so much fun. Love you smiley face jack-o-lantern rocks.
Weren’t those cool?? I had fun making the jack-o-lantern!
Thanks for enjoying. Happy Tuesday!
Nancy, the scones look so delicious. I have used that mix before, but haven’t seen it this year. Your adventures are always interesting, the calcite is a beauty. Happy Tuesday, my friend!
Thank you so much Pam! I was pleased with the scone for being so easy.
Enjoy this lovely Tuesday!
Good morning, Nancy! The scones you made look delicious! I love scones, and the tea setting you created is so pretty. It looks like you had a fun time with your friends! You live in such a beautiful place. Happy November, sweet friend!
Thank you Shannon. The scones are quite delicious for being an easy and quick mix.
We do love the desert.

It’s in the 30’s here and there you are in short sleeves! 😜
The weather has been superb! We enjoy this time of year here in the desert!
I”ve used that company’s scone mix before and you’re right — it is good. The rock hunting looks like fun and probably so nice to be back with your old AZ friends. Happy week!
It was awesome to get back out into the desert.
And yes this Scone mix is quite good for being fast, quick and easy!
Thank you always for your lovely visits!
Happy Tuesday!
Very interesting trek you had, and the stone is beautiful. Those pumpkin muffins look delicious and easy. Now, those are good things.
I like easy! And it’s always good for us to get out into our lovely desert!
Thanks so much Judy. Enjoy your Tuesday.
What fabulous calcite fluoresces, Nancy 🥰 I’ve no doubt you’re glad to be ‘home’.
We are blessed to have two wonderful homes! Thank you for the love!
Always, Nancy. Always 🥰💕

There is safety in numbers whether you are four wheeling in the desert or motorcycling on the back roads. It sounds like you had a lovely day!
We sure did! Thank you for enjoying!
Your little adventure looks like so much fun! And your scones look delicious!
They were delicious! Thank you for enjoying, Michelle!
Your pan for making scones is just wonderful. The scones looks very yummy. Fig jam is one of my favourite toppings. I hope things are good with you. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you Maria! I really like the scone pan… it makes it all a bit more easier.
Thank you for the visit.
I can see that! I might look for one myself. We have snow now and the weather is perfect for some scones and tea. Have a fabulous day!
Sounds delicious! 😊
Thanks for sharing…..what a fun adventure!! Beautiful desert shots and I had no idea about the calcite!! Have a great week!!
Thank you Kirt! Enjoy the new week!
Such a fantastic adventure to Buckeye in search of Calcite. So cool that it does indeed illuminate. Got me thinking about a search too. Great pictures.
