 Another gorgeous Autumn day with a mostly sunny sky and temperature around 70.  I've been outside most of the day pulling old dead flower stalks and piling them in the woods.  The garden is almost cleared of tired dead debris and now has a nice blanket of dried falling leaves to decay as nature intended. House plants are still outside and when the weather drops to thirties I pull them all close to the house at night.  Many herbs still thrive.  I still use fresh parsley, mint, Italian oregano, rosemary and a few others.  I placed hay around them as they will stay out all winter.  

The blogging stopped because for some unknown reason my iPhone pictures won't upload to this computer.  Also tried to print my Christmas card design but the scanner icon on this computer is gone and I can't find it anywhere. So, can't scan, can't send pictures to blog and it's frustrating.  I tried to think what Cliff would do but I don't understand techie issues. Mentally trying to let go of all this.  I have pictures of the new Station 17's progress sitting in my iPhone and they can't get out.  

OH.................just tried again and it worked.  !!!!!!


 November 15 at Julie's Restaurant with MaryAnne and Susan. I got a free piece of peanut butter pie with GF chocolate crust.  Delicious! Will order one for Christmas before Mark gets here.  

Saturday night, last night, I celebrated again at Dutch and Kathy's house.  

No order for this blog. All the thing I wanted to narrate are coming to my mind. 

Got my Kia back a few weeks ago.  Looks good and drives well, no clunks or rattles.

There will be four rooms for the officers, a large meeting room and sleep and shower quarters for when the department goes paid some day.  


 

 About a month ago I moved my piano out of the smaller bedroom into the dining room where I  now play more often.

A few night ago when I went to shut off the computer, it needed an update, which took forever, I hit update and shut down.  Maybe that update cleaned up something and fixed what was missing.  It was nice to post pictures again.  

December 2 there is an Evening of Remembrance for those who have lost a loved one this year. I don't know if I want to go.  I do and I don't.  I need to R.S.V.P. by tomorrow 11/20...........we'll see.

 Some days are full of doing tasks and chores that Cliff did for me.  The floor wasn't that dirty but he enjoyed saying. "Guess I need to pull out the vacuum.  I'm tripping over debris."  I thanked him.  Whenever I was in the kitchen trying out new recipes, making cookies or the double batch tapioca pudding for him, he was there beside (getting in my way sometimes) washing the utensils, pots/pans, cutting boards, drying them and putting everything back in their proper places only to have me take some things back out and  reuse again.  "I just washed that" he would state.  He learned to ask if I were through with things before he cleaned up after me.  I thanked him.  He emptied the dishwasher when it was finished in such an orderly manner (getting in my way sometimes because I was also in the kitchen working but he wanted to be there with me).  I thanked him.  Every morning he made my bed reminding me of the order that the pillows needed to be placed.  John&

 When I woke this morning a little after five, very rested, no head talk in the night, I wondered how to fill my morning since it was too rainy, damp, dark, dank to walk in town. Going near any store was not an option and we are under a weather alert for high winds with possible 30-40 mph gusts that could down limbs and branches.  I did 30 minutes yoga live with Hannah then while eating my oatmeal breakfast Michael texted me that he needed a childhood picture of himself for his accounting firm.  They want to update the employee bios with childhood photos.  Hmmm...........that's a challenging task.  I pulled out all the boxes from the bathroom closet, brought them to the living room where I would have plenty of room to sort and go through albums.  Looks like those boxes hadn't been move in quite some time.  The large roach hotel was dated back to April of this year and it was time to vacuum up the dead debris behind the boxes.  I actually moved everything off the floor and clean

 Saturday mornings are Farmers Market mornings.  It's my time to stroll through the three pavilions visiting with familiar vendors and adding new ones to my routine.  There is so much wonderfully fresh produce weekly and I have had to control what I buy now or I'm throwing food away.  Last week I bought a North Georgia Candy Roaster squash. They are sweet and make delicious pies.  The old farmer who sold it to me is one I try not to engage in  conversation with during the sale. His conversation never stops while I'm cradling the heavy squash. Once I broke away from him I hooked a golf cart ride with a volunteer back to my car, placed the heavy squash in the back, and returned to the pavilions.  I've frozen many of the veggies for fall and winter.  This morning I was compelled to stop at a pipe display, not that I was thinking about taking up pipe smoking like the old mountain women, but what caught my eye and brought up unexpected childhood memories was the craftsman us
