Hunting the fall…

colors.  Yesterday morning before I started on the fruitcakes my daughter went with me around town to check on some of the fall colors.













The park had some really cute Halloween decorations out.  The roses are still in full bloom too after several frosts.

I am out this morning for a haircut and to get my glasses adjusted then tomorrow, cleaning the house.  I can’t escape that. 

Do stay safe and be happy!!

Tuesday morning…

and rain is on its way.  After a good nights sleep I was up this morning at 6AM.  I headed to the grocery store after breakfast for a couple of things.  The trees I saw on the way are gorgeous.



The leaves are falling quickly.  Oh no, snow will be here before I turn around good.

A tree behind my daughter and son in law’s house.  I will keep an eye on it so that I can get a picture when all of the leaves have turned.
Nothing much on my schedule today except thinking about the test on Friday.  I had this same stress test done a few years ago which led to a heart cath.  Which is one reason I am thinking about it.  Because I know what to expect.  Then I see my primary care doctor on Monday afternoon and that doctor that thought that he was sent from heaven on the 28th.  Then I hope to be done.  Oh wait, I forgot, I am having my teeth cleaned on Nov. 9.  Not looking forward to that either.     I am very thankful that I am here to complain.
Hey, I kind of like the new features of live writer 11.  If you haven’t updated yet, you should.  Thank you Kerrie for telling me about it.  It still will not accept my word press blogs for some reason.
I hope you are all having a good week.  Stay safe and above all, be happy!

YAHOO!!

the back door is finished and it looks great.  I just need to shorten my curtain for it and it will be all done.  And, he used lots of permanent weatherstripping.  I do have the stuff I bought at Menards and I am going to see if there are any little places that need winterproofing on the front door and the windows. 
I have been over to my daughter’s this morning for a cup of tea, then on the way home I stopped by Kroger and brought Halloween candy @ $2 a bag.  Doggone it, it is all good stuff so I hid it away until the time for the ghosts and goblins. 
My next door neighbor has decorated outdoors for the fall.  It looks beautiful.  Below are pictures.



I thought this was so pretty that I took it from all angles.
We had a huge frost last night.  When I looked at the stretch of ground separating me from the cemetery it was all white with frost.  Supposed to warm up to above 80 on Friday and Saturday.  Put away the jeans and dig out the shorts for a couple of days.
You know what, this is a really nice day and I am thoroughly enjoying being a part of it.  I hope you all are too.
Footnote for Paul:  Stool also referred to as commode where my sis lives in WV, potty by the kiddies and toilet for the rest.  What is it called in Boston?  ;-)
