It seems that September went by far too quickly and October is almost here. Just one more day for September to do her magic and then voila.. October makes her grand entrance.Already the sky is changing, the sea is cooling down, the light filters differently through the woods and air is crisper and brighter somehow.
The kids went to the farm yesterday and brought me home a really perfect pumpkin! Its wonderful. All I have to do is decide if it should be made into a pie or just used for decoration.Today is a bit overcast and chilly.. not bad all in all, but humidity is pretty high and that is nasty I think.
By popular request, namely Linda Conley, the Perfect Pumpkin from the farm in photo to the left.
Meanwhile, Toni (whom we are all praying diligently for) posted another unconscious muttering and I thought I would give it a try myself.

There is a story to number 5.
When I was first married, my husband (who is deceased) and I lived in an upstairs apartment. It was very nice but you had to carry groceries up a long flight of stairs. We got them out of the car and I had 3 bags full in my arms. I was 20 years old and in very good shape.
My husband warned me that this was the "lazy man's carry" and that if I didn't listen to him, disaster would result. I was strong, agile and athletic and said, "I can handle it". Famous last words!
Well, sure enough, the bags broke all down the stairs and we had to do twice the work we would have had if I had just listened to him and carried one or two at a time.
I have never forgotten that lesson. He had a good laugh at my expense, which he usually did.. He thought I was "the cutest thing on earth" and got a kick out of the fact I was clumsy and a bit of an airhead. He found it cute.
Until next time..
I detest being called cute, just saying. ANYWAYS-I see tomorrow will be the last of the 85* around here and its all downhill from here...which I like. Have a beautiful week, smiles. (please take a photo of the pumpkin)
