Is Fall in the air?

 The thought of Fall coming to us right now hit me yesterday when we were walking the dogs at the South River Park where we take them  every ( most every) day for their walk.  The breeze was brisk and cool and the water pounded into the shore line. And the leaves floated down from the trees as if there were some urgency to cover the ground with a nice blanket for Winter. And my jacket was zipped up to the top to keep the cold from slipping in and further disturbing my usual great happy walk. And finally, back home and inside, i could feel the breeze coming in through the open windows and gently cooling the inside that for days/weeks had been stuffy and hot. That felt wonderful but not the thought of Fall also coming in through the windows at all. The garden and its produce is showing its age as well and seems to be beckoning me to dig me up, take my fruits and pack me away for the Winter. Gosh, I am not ready for it...please give me some time...I plead.

Today we plan to go to Huntsville to grocery shop. Not much on the list but you both know that will quickly change once we start to graze the aisles. Always does. I have found myself short of paper towels for some reason as i always keep a goodly supply on hand. I try to capture the infrequent sales of same , but may have to pay the full price today.

On Wednesday I go for a Doctors appointment - been a while since I've been and although not what i want to do, i have to discuss my decision to discontinue the Alendronate i have been taking for ages as a prescription for osteoarthritis. I discovered that there are side effects with long use, and it seems I have some of those symptoms. best to be careful.

So greetings to you both. My time at the computer has apparently ended as the household is getting up now, and so I must get on with my day.   

Take care and be good to yourselves. Both of you take it easy. Thinking of you always ...😉

    I meant osteoporosis and not, osteoarthritis. Sorry for mistake.

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
