HAPPY NEW WEEK
I hope you all have a good week!
The National Weather Service has announced that the US will have a very strong El Nino winter. For the Midwest, that means a warmer and dryer season. Dang, I hope so.
Right now, I have a fishing spider in my dining room and another one in my living room. Each is the size of my hand! They're happily eating the last of the summer gnats. We had an even bigger than normal population of gnats, mosquitoes, and biting flies this year. I'm letting the spiders enjoy them. They'll go hibernate under the house when they're finished. LOL
Happy Thanksgiving or whatever you celebrate to Annette and bjane.
Hugs to all.
Yesterday’s post that I forgot to post! Exhausting day. I did the washing as the forecast predicted evening rain. Not 20 mins after I finished pegging, it poured and rained for rest of day. Just after lunch Dau & S-i-l visited – he to fix computer stuff, she to organize my cupboards. I restricted her to the spaces above the pantry where things that are used once a year or maybe once a blue moon are stored. Thank goodness some time ago I had culled the kinder paints, play dough toys etc. Nevetheless there was a lot of “What are you keeping this for?” Sentiment or possible use next month are not in her DNA. Her thinking is I could always buy another. Once I had decided, she took no chances and dumped rejects into wheelie bin. I managed to save a few things that will be worthwhile gifted to the charity shop. I have completed next 2 family stories. . . or have stopped worrying about typos. Copies printed ready to post to those without a computer and email files to others.
LINDA – Thank you for news of HEATHER. I hope she gets the care she needs now and when she goes home.
Today. Unexciting morning bill-paying, posting or emailing stories, replacing hand cream (OH “lost” his and I gave him mine). I treated myself to an early χmas gift – a clip-on lamp for reading. Next time we have a power failure I shall not have to balance camping torch on top of pile of books. I assume Murphy’s Law will mean no more outages now I am prepared. We had a surprising 19 mm yesterday and the soil (clay) is sodden, so I should be weeding as it would be easy. Nah, still weary after yesterday.
