Ahhh Autumn!  Cool crisp air, dazzling sunshine and leaves falling in a blizzard of blazing color!  City or country, that's why we live up here in the north.  Yes Sir! there is nothing like the change of seasons to keep you hearty and alive.  Outside my window the finches are attacking our feeder.  You kind of wonder if cold weather or snow could be on the horizon?  Squirrels scamper about digging holes in the lawn hiding treasures that will help them navigate the cold winter that is most certainly approaching the runway. The pond is . . . ahhh ,  is . . . excuse me . . . 

Where is what?  What rake? . . No I don't want to do that now!  I'm currently busy. . and my back hurts!  Yes I know it's going to rain tomorrow. . .   Look Joan, I'm discussing the wonders of Fall with the Coachmen group and wish to not be disturbed. . . . . . . . . Same to you~   

Now where was I . . . Let's let Doris Day get us in the mood!

So I'm here sitting in my favorite leather recliner, next to a blazing fire, reading the exciting novel "Gone Girl".  "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young is playing in the background. I have an ample glass of J.L. Lohr Cabernet (Red) sitting on the table next to me.  Mid 40's outside with a rather stiff wind but cozy warm here next to the fire.  These are the times that build memories that never fade.  The kind of memories that . . . Ooops!  I seem to have nudged my glass of wine off the table. . . The upside of having a very full glass of wine is less running back and forth to the kitchen. The downside is spreading in a large circle on the rug.  Better take a moment and clean this up before Joan gets done raking leaves!  Guess I'll have to call the "Rug Doctor"!

Ya know. . .  it's almost Halloween.  Seems funny but by the time Halloween comes around Fall is almost over.  A couple of years ago we got 32" of snow on Halloween. The "Halloween Blizzard" was quite the event.  Instant Winter!!!  Raking leaves one day and shoveling 2.5 feet of snow the next.  Joan could hardly keep up.  That's why, this year I bought her a new, lightweight, aluminum shovel with neat floral designs on the handle, for her birthday!  Oh well, I guess she'll like it better when it starts snowing.  


Oh here she comes.  I'm thinking she might be upset when she sees the rug. . . . I know, I'll start with   "I've had an accident but I'm not hurt"!     That should do it!   Oh . . . and  "I'm Sorry"!

Till Next Week
