It's that time of the year....

It's that time of the year....

I don’t even want to think about it…

It will take a miracle and some luck and Wacha to get us back on track.   Because I think so highly of my Boston friend I again will congratulate the Red Sox.  But only because I luv ya Paul!

I have been out a couple of times looking for fall foliage that looked good.  Unfortunately the drought we had all summer has taken its toll and there is not much to be found.  I took the following picture this morning in the Wal*Mart parking lot.  I think that is the best I can do this year.  While in Wal*Mart I purchased an electric blanket for my son in law’s birthday.

I  also stopped by Goodwill this morning dropped off some CDs and clothing. 

AND much to my surprise gas was below $3 a gallon this morning at Thorntons.  The last time I can remember that gas was $3 a gallon was  back in 2006.  I found that in one of my old blogs.

And so being the thrifty person that I am I now have a full tank of gas. 

Since I am posting this late in the day I don’t imagine it will show up on the dashboard until sometime in the middle of the night.

I hope this day is being good to you.  It is very dreary today and the temp right now is 48 degrees.

Whatever you do stay safe and be happy.  It is a lot easier on you to be happy than to be always sad.

Beth

  2. The colors don't seem to be vivid as usual here either. Gas was $3.19 here yesterday. Between you and Paul, it makes rooting for my friends a challenge, lol. Good Luck to both your teams and may the best one win.

  5. That tree is so pretty Beth. Gas never gets as low in this town as the news people show in other town. It's 3.39 here. But hey that's low compared to before. Sorry about your Cardinals. It's crazy huh? Just don't give up hope. xoxo,Susie

  8. Gas is less than it was around here but the cheapest I 've seen so far is$3.29. The again you're closer to the source. By the way I am just seeing this at about 10:15 p.m. It wasn't here an hour ago. I feel bad that the Cards are losing so far, but I know it isn't over yet. The Red Sox were trailing the Yankees 3 to 1 in the playoffs in 2004 and came back to win and go to the World Series. I won't mention who they beat.
    Colors are muted around here and there are still some green trees. I'll give it one more shot next Sunday if the weather is good.
    Beth I love you back. See you at Fenway !

  9. I filled up my car's gas tank today too. At Cosco I only had to pay $3.09.9 a gallon. The other cheapest place had $3.13.9. Al the regular stations listed $3.47.9 or $3.39.9. This is in the greater Seattle area. We had our first freeze last night but it got up to 58 by late afternoon.. Your picture is very pretty. Most of our leaves have already fallen here. Yes, no matter what, It seems to work better to look at the bright side of life, and be grateful for our blessings. Happy Wednesday tomorrow. Bertie

  10. The Cards and the Sox are pretty good. I'll look tomorrow at our gas prices. I love my elec blanket just to take the chill off the sheets before I go to bed. Be well.

  11. You have to look to find the colors around here, and they are fading fast. I feel blessed to be basically a happy person...it must be lots easier this way! lol

    Hope you are feeling well, my dear. Love and blessings to you...

  12. It IS the middle of the night here and I just can't sleep! But I truly enjoyed seeing a picture of that gorgeous tree! Ours haven't changed yet but it usually happens overnight!

    Hurray on those gas prices!

    XO,

  13. Oh your tree is beautiful. Wow your gas is cheap I paid $1.24 a liter which compare by 4 liters equals your gallon. 4 x $1.24 yup that is what ours is. Cost me $72 to fill up that hurt:) Hug B

  14. That is a beautiful tree - even though they are few and far between this year. I've noticed that here in Kentucky as well; there's not nearly as many colors this year!

  15. Magnificent colour of the tree, something we don't see down here.
    Our petrol is $157.9 per litre AUD :)

  16. Beautiful color on that tree! Our car "requires" at least mid-grade fuel, and that is over $3 a gallon, even with my 15 cents off credit at the super market where I shop. That is a good deal you found yesterday!

    Baseball is back tonight. We will be watching.

    Have a good Wednesday!

  17. Love the red bush! Our colors here are mostly just yellow, with a sprinkle of red---nothing like the assortment of oranges and reds like you guys back east get! But I love the season anyway---the smell of it, the crispness in the air and all that goes with autumn. Oh boy, those are great gas prices! I was thrilled to get my tank topped off with $3.51 the other day! Hope it does drop off even more! Enjoy the season and have a happy and safe Halloween!

  24. Your tree you picked is very pretty Beth. Went to library and it was a real dreary day.

    Well the libraires sure have changed from a year ago in my town or next town.. They dont even have sections of Christian books. Only places if you buy it at a christian store or at a Church who lends out
    books. Not many do.

    I did end up with an old book my Mom used to read and my husband when he was a teen. AGatha Christie. Three other books. I sat and went through them to
    see if the kanguage was good as all books now adays say the P word.

    What is this world coming too.
