Damp Walk

 


I walked up Meek Hill this morning just at day break.  It was damp but did not start raining until I got back to Dan's. These criters are wondering what I am doing out in the rain.


I was dressed for the weather.  This large sweatshirt is just the right size to protect from the rain.

It is supposed to drop below freezing tonight.  The first time since sometime in March.  I guess winter is on its way.

A Good Day...

 


After All...

I took the day off for a doctor's appointment, so I thought I would walk early.  Looked out about 7 am and it was raining.  So, I frosted the cake I made to take to work for Ryan's birthday today.  When I finished, I looked out and it had stopped raining so I walked to Dan's and back, took the cake to work, got groceries at Berryville, made the base for the chicken speghetti I am taking to work tomorrow then rested till time to go to the appoitment.

I got the mail on my way out and had my credit card bill.  It had a charge for over $400 that I could not remember what it was for.  I thought and thought what I might have pruchased, but was drawing a blank.  Went on to the Doctor.  My blood pressure was up.  I wonder why.

I looked at my bank account, and saw that on the same day of the $400 charge I had paid the eye doctor. Then remembered my new $400 glasses.

I did find out that I started using my Cpap and took the bone density test in April of 2021, two and a half years ago.  But I will probably forget all that tomorrow.

Oh, and I got my flu shot and my covid shot today.  Now I am all shot up.


Planning for Christmas

I give small gifts to each person of my department at work every Christmas. I have already purchased bags and had Sister Betty make chicken coasters for each. Last week I found these plates at a junk store. There are 11 small like this and 3 large plates. I will make cookies or buy candy to fill them. I have 3 bosses so rhe 3 large plates will go to them, perhaps with a different filling. The best part, all plates for $1.50.

Fall?

 


It is fall, but many of the trees are still green because we have not had a frost.  October 25 and it was 72 degrees at 4:30 this morning.  It is supposed to get down to 32 Sunday night, but still the days are going to be warm.  It was actually hot this afternoon.  Maybe this means we will not have winter this year.

Still here

This was taken Sunday on the drive to Betty's.

Not much happening here. It is cooler in the mornings now. Down around 40 most mornings, but nice during the day. We have not had a frost yet. Maybe it will stay warm all winter.
