The trees are changing to bright colors before they fall to the ground.
The summer items are stored in the shed.
The garden is being cleaned out of the plants that bore an abundance of vegetables and herbs this summer.
Halloween is a week from Saturday, we have candy ready and little bags to put the candy in since we need to avoid close contact or using a common bowl as we had before.
There are some young children in the neighborhood so hopefully we will get several kids to come.
I will miss the summer but the changes in season bring some variety to our surroundings.
Hopefully we will have a mild winter, last year was relatively mild with only two or three small snow storms and not too many bitter cold days.
Our Thanksgiving holiday will be home with our son and daughter-in-law, it will be nice to prepare the traditional meal with special trimmings for the small group that we will be.
We will spend the Christmas holiday in Florida with the Dolan family, which we have enjoyed several times in past years. It is nice to get a warm break from the winter here and we have a great time with the family down there.
I have continued to run, which I enjoy, we get some warm days which I try to take advantage of.
I do not really want to go back to the YMCA, currently you have to make an appointment, I will wait until the vaccine is available and things begin to open up.
The pandemic has been difficult on all of us, we had to change our way of interacting and give up certain things. Fortunately we are secure in our income which has not been impacted by the hit the job market took. My part time position and pension are holding us together very well.
We know not everyone has been as fortunate as we were and we are appreciative of what we have and help out whenever we can.
I hope you all enjoy the changing seasons and continue in safety and good health.
I really enjoy catching up with you, on this blog. I will miss the change of seasons in FL but, I won’t have to deal with snow and ice. I hope we will see you during your Christmas vacation. We, too, will enjoy Thanksgiving with Andrea, Eliah, Justin (unless he’s in NY with girlfriend), Gehrig, Aiden and our niece Kim (if she’s not in WI for the Holiday). I’m looking forward to cooking our first Holiday meal in our new home. Love you guys, stay well.
