Busy with the Daily



Since we have been home I have been getting back into a daily routine. Catching up on laundry, groceries, meals, etc. Leon has been trying to do some leaf maintenance--which will be an ongoing job for the next couple months. But we do love the trees!


I heard on TV that they have about 16" snow up in the Poconos---and we were just there! Wow, we got home just in time. And up in Burlington, VT it is in the 20's, now I understand why the motels up there don't think the heat should be on when it is in the 60's---It is a different world for us from down south.


This morning we had 2 bluebirds on our bluebird house. Guess they are looking for a winter residence to protect them from the elements. Our woodpeckers are working on the suet and the finches are beginning to gather in for an easy meal.


Tomorrow I will go to my paint class--I sure do miss seeing all the ladies and am really excited to work on my "Maine Waterfront"--as now I have been there.


I have been working on my photos for the SIPS calendar contest, which is due at the Nov.4th meeting. Also, trying to go through the photos I took while in New England so I can get some printed for an album. There is just something about having them in your hand--kind of like reading a book. Nothing quite replaces it. I saved some little mementos to put in with them and journal about our journey.


I gathered about a bushel of apples from our trees and made a pie, and have some to store for the upcoming days. And even hung some of my laundry on the line to dry, which I love to do on pretty days.


So now you know what I have been up to while not on the computer. I will make an effort to share our daily "travels down life's path". I hope you are enjoying the beautiful fall weather and all the season's bountiful blessings.

So glad you made it home before the snow and brought the pretty weather back with you. I'm excited to hear/see what you come up with for your photo-contest entry.
I love you so so much!
