19 de outubro Leaves.... and more leavesIt has definately been an interesting fall.... last weekend there was snow...
 This past weekend, it was beautiful! Which lead me to start thinking about fall's clean up! The single tree in my backyard has barely shed even 1/10 of its foliage and the ground is already covered. While I fantasize about a big wind coming along and blowing the mess into a neighbor's yard, I did start thinking about raking. I know its great exercise and all the benefits but I'm dealing with a bit of tendonitis in my right elbow...so I imagined the next best thing. A new 'toy'... lots of power, noise and it will get the job done. One of the home improvement places had a leaf blower/vacuum on sale... so it was off for some shopping.
The sun was shining, the skies were blue... so I took the backroads for a drive in the countryside. Some of those backroads can be pretty..but while driving its kinda tough to grab the camera, so I did the next best thing, lol..my phone.
 There is just something about a tree lined road that is relaxing!
So now I have my leafblower, some wall paper border for one of my rooms, a few things for organizing the garage... yeah, I know, that home improvement store is dangerous, lol.
And now that I've gotten the blower out of the box.... I can start to tackle tackle the backyard... a couple times!
  15 de outubro Fall's Afternoon
A few weeks back, I spent some time at one of the many 'Apple Festivals' that appear this time of year. The abundance of fall's harvest brings many people together to visit, sample new varieties of apples and just plain enjoy the days before winter. It didn't take long for 'winter' to let us know that it has its own sense of timing! Its only mid-October and we've had 3 days of snowfall. Basically nuisiance snowfalls but still *ugh* snow! Signs of the white flakes in the mornings melt away by noon. It makes for interesting commutes to work in the mornings and some sloppy driving down the side roads in the countryside. The coolness and dampness of the days tend to settle in my bones making it an evening treat to have a warm cup of tea before heading to bed at night. Now of course, I can't stop mother nature from bring the seasons to us early...but dang, it sure would be nice to have a couple more warmer days before winter really sets in! 01 de outubro A month of full moonsEver have one of those months, days, weeks or even years where it seems there's a full moon hanging around the whole time? Strange and drama filled events have been happening for the last month it seems, I've had computer problems...bugs, gremlins, nuicenses. Add to that a new boss a few weeks ago...moving to a new office building this weekend and life has definately had its share of stress! Now not to be dissing the new boss...but it is going to take a little getting used to her style of running the place.... throw in the move and the drama that goes along with any move, well... you'll understand the absence.
To add to the stress of the last month, one of my feline companions past away.... unexpectedly. It was a tough day...and I still have my moments.
So tonight's a rainy night... and in a short bit its time to head out to the lanes with the girls. An evening with good friends to discuss, complain, muse over life's events... throw a few balls down the lanes and enjoy an adult beverage or two.
Hopefully this month of full moon craziness will end with this weekend's move...I'm definately looking forward to a somewhat normal fall!
