We had our first frost last night – that finished off the begonias and impatiens that had been blooming beautifully this late in the season…. All of summer is packed away anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring / summer 2021.
This year has been quite different for sure, with the coronavirus pandemic putting a quash on a lot of our normal activities. I do believe we are in a better place with this virus even though infections are spiking again. Of course we don’t want to see anyone sick and we hope those that are get a full recovery.
We had grey skies and rain all week and today is the first day of sunshine – it was cold this morning when I did the work around the house. I should have worn gloves as my hands were freezing….
It is a bit of a drag adjusting to the cold weather – hard to figure what to wear around the house and to go outside. However the fall colors are absolutely beautiful. The changing seasons and variety make it worth it.
I have been reading and doing puzzles, the latest book was given to me by one of the ladies I did grocery shopping for, the 93 year old woman. It was “Redemption” by David Baldacci.. I had never read anything by him and it is a crime mystery / drama…. I did like it and was glad to have experienced it. I am not sure what I will read next. The latest puzzle has been hard to get started…. I got about ¾ of the outsides done and a small corner… I am trying another section next.
We packed up goodie bags for the kids, hopefully we will get some to come. Hopefully the kids in the area will come and not just go to grandma and grandpa. We shall see.
