Smudge And My Yard Clean Up Nicely

Smudge

C'mon how cute is he?

and eyes, he has eyes.

If you don't know the story of Smudge

read about him Here and Here.


By mistake I left 2 windows open 
last night and woke up this am
to a very cold house and discovered that 
in the night I had grabbed my robe
 from the foot of the bed
and added it to my covers for warmth!

(just kidding)


Wasn't it just last week I was whining about the heat?


My handy guy Brit and I worked in 
the yard all day yesterday, clearing fall debris
and restringing lights and my muscles were sore 
by 6 pm. Add in the chilled air all night long 
and I am walking slowly today and
 a bit hunched over to boot.
Attractive look, don't you imagine?
(local gals, this guy works so hard 
and can repair, fix, clean just about anything)


The yard is ready for the potluck, so ladies bring your 
sweaters and there are always the 
tables indoors if you're a wuss. 
She says throwing down the "tough broad" gauntlet.


There are 49 days remaining until 
my chicks return home

and you cannot imagine how my heart quickens just 
thinking about it. All their favorite foods
 will be prepared and late night movies will be a 
constant, and maybe a short trip somewhere, 
and now wine in the
 evenings since DD will be 21.


I am blessed, and I am ever so grateful.
