HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON!

The full moon is Thursday, 17 October, in US and UK. It's a really close Supermoon.

The Covered Bridge Festival began yesterday in my area. Two million people from Indiana and across the country will visit at least one of the festival small towns to buy arts and crafts, enjoy country foods, take bus tours, and see the covered bridges. This weekend, we have weirdly warm weather and glorious sunshine, so our highways have bumper to bumper, slow-crawling traffic and there are crowds everywhere.

i intend to remain holed up at home until the festival is over on the 20th. I went to the doctor last week, and I took the opportunity to stock up on groceries. Yesterday. I walked to the convenience store on the highway and bought drinking water, so I'm all set to stay on my patch for the duration. I gave the groundhog a carrot today. 

The festival is a badly needed boost for our rural economy, but I'll be glad when it's over.

Hugs and love to everyone!

  • Lindy - I like the “wise” words in the pictures. So sorry you have earache. I wonder what has brought that on? I have 2 very sore arms today after my 2 jabs plus my sinuses aren’t right. However, I am going to meet my sister and brother in law for a quick cuppa in M&S. My sister is going to help me choose a small gift for a baby girl born to the daughter of a friend. That should be fun. We also had great fun at the 10 pin bowling for my great niece’s 6th birthday. I think I was a bit better than last year!!! My niece had baked a super cup cake tower on a unicorn theme when we got back to their house for the buffet tea. 

  • Lindy - The first one, about 'shelf control', is sooooo me!  Books get piled in higgledy-piggledy, and then one day I will pull everything out, sort them into some sort of order (randomly!!) and put them back.  Occasionally one or two will be recycled elsewhere, although I don't like getting rid of books.  I am going to keep a copy of that picture and look at it now and then to remind myself I'm not the only one!
