HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!
I hope everyone has a wonderful autumn week. I'm sending healing to all who need it.
Here's a Fairy Ring (Fairy Circle) that my sister-in-law found in her backyard. ;-) Those are white mushrooms.
Thank you DIANE. I hope you have unwound after Editing Stage 1.
Happy Grandparents Day to all with Little People. The last Sunday in October is Grandparents Day in Aussieland.
I went to “real” church this morning after months of live streaming. I did feel strange, masked, no singing, very small congregation, well spaced (I’m not complaining). Sunny day. Soil still soft after rain. Some parts of garden are almost weed free. The winds battered my tomato plant – luckily it was still small enough to survive.
Grandchildren are like flowers. You never tire of watching them grow.
Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven’t thought of yet.
My grandkids believe I’m the oldest thing in the world. And after two or three hours with them, I believe it too. (Gene Perret)
Thank you to Diane for starting us off again. I hope you're resting! and being kind to yourself Good Morning. Goodness knows what time it is as of course, even though the clocks have changed here, I still woke at my body's usual time .... grr. The newspapers rave about "An extra hour in bed" but my body's system doesn't know that! Thank you to AQ for the quotes and the good wishes. Now can't resist putting on a cute pic of little Rosie from the other day:
She is an old fashioned little thing, who looks at you with the wisdom of the very old.
Morning all Our clocks go back next weekend. Each state has a different rule; some adjust clocks; others don't. It must really mess up the airlines. We voted against daylight savings in California two years ago but any actual application of the law seems to have got lost in the Covid backup.
Lindybird. Rosie looks like a very thoughtful and observant little girl. It's going to be interesting to see how her personality develops. And frankly, old-fashioned sounds like a very good thing these days. :-)
AQ Thanks for more smiles, I hope you're keeping a list of them because I keep meaning to copy/past my favorites for possible T-shirt application for gifts. :-)) A part of your garden is weed-free - is that a result of all your efforts? Don't stop now. I put some Gopher Hawks in the parkway yesterday to deter the pesky critters, which are attacking the dymondia ground cover. They haven't been that destructive before and I'm considering ripping it all out, putting down critter-deterring wire and then topping it off with decomposed granite, stones, anything that doesn't require water or too much care. Sigh.
OG: Oh crikey, so sorry about the awful nights and increasing problems. I know some people who are more comfortable sleeping in recliners - they make some amazing ones these days with multiple adjustments; some of them even stand you up! Why would pumpkins create a problem for nephew at church?
Did masses of paperwork yesterday and managed to finish the ironing. Today we're going to put the fans back up in the attic (we barely used them this year) and I'm going to pretend I'm OG and will plan menus for the week! :-)
LINDA – Rosie is a delightful child. Or have I said that before? A month since our daylight saving change and I am just getting used to it, instead of waking at random times each morning. Sunrise now 6.15am. I hope Doc can answer your questions on anemia.
OG – Not good that you are having sleepless & painful nights. I hope your new Physio finds a solution.
ANNETTE – My back garden is nearly weed-free partly because I have been persistent and more so because the hot weather dried out & retarded new growth. Now my spring bulbs have finished flowering, the garden moves into its “fallow” stage. No point planting flowers as they require too much water in our dry summer. I do have a copy of “my” quotes; mainly to avoid posting the same ones again. In a Word Doc. Oh heck, it’s over 20 pages. . .
ROSY – Do you think chilli powder would work on an OH who can’t tell the difference between my bulbs and weeds?
Just a thought
Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes yet. (L M Montgomery)
