A happy Halloween 🎃 weekend to you. Another month gone by so fast.Will be a little cool for the kids but they always make it fun.Have a great weekend and take care......George
Friday! My goodness where did the week go? Last weekend in October! Where did the month go?
OK, so maybe I have been soaking in the tub (I never take a tub bath, just shower). And maybe I got my new Halloween nails on today after my shower and in between cooking ribeyes and french fries.
Now, what do you think? I am going to tell you that I love them. I put on the ColorStreet color "Moscow or Never" and then added the clear top with spiders & webs.
I had already painted my toes, but I liked it so much that I added a spiderweb to each of my big toes. And it really takes less time than when I used to do my own color.
Trick or Treat? What goodies do you have? I am seriously thinking about relaxing a little more today before the doorbell starts ringing this weekend.
And the book I am reading is so good. I can't wait to see my neighbor as Robin and his best friend as Batman.
Yes, there are some days that I wish I still drank. Today I would really like a drink.
Our wind is sustained at 28 mph with gusts from 40-50 mph. So even walking to the mailbox is dangerous. Live limbs are breaking and falling from trees.
We had to pick up something in Rockwall this morning and I thought the car door was going to snap my legs off when I got my feet on the ground. And yes, I was hanging on to the door handle as a gust threatened to blow me away.
So I am going back to cooking up some dogs... no, no... cooking up something for the dogs. And then...
I think I will relax for a while. Maybe read a good book from my Kindle in a tub of warm (not too hot) water. What about you?
We always try to add things to the grocery list before they become urgent... but, how can we be out of milk? Well, I had to meet the 2 ladies at work this morning for breakfast so milk is now back in our house.
But guess what... there was a reason for a breakfast "butter up". I am working most days in December. Crazy Tisha is moving to East Texas so I will work with Kelly until she can find a replacement. I love working when they need help and I know it won't be forever. So I am excited but also very sad!
So we got 8/10" rain early this morning as the front came through and it was fairly slow and soaked in. Now the sun is shining and at noon we are only 62°.
Just makes me feel like dancing!
What are you cookin' up for this weekend? I sure hope it is something fun and tasty. As soon as you are done cooking and putting up all the decorations, why don't you relax.
After all, you deserve it. So enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend and the kids (ding dong) ringing your doorbell. Because it just might be me ringing your doorbell.
Today I thought I would share some of my recent sky pictures. All I do is take them and I don't doctor them or enhance them.
The first one was taken from my front yard in the evening. The second one was taken in my backyard early one morning. When I see a beautiful sky in the early mornings, I hop, yes hop, up and have to hurry because I know in a matter of minutes, the bright colors will be gone.
I took this one one Sunday evening and was surprised to find a thunderstorm on radar. We didn't get a drop of rain even though we watched the radar with hopeful hearts for almost an hour.
As I turned around, this is what I saw above our house. Another beautiful cloud creation. Isn't God amazing.
So I hurried to the back yard. These clouds aren't as bright because it was a setting sun on the other side of our world. Yet it was equally as different and beautiful in it's own way.
Yesterday, as I was watering dry plants, I noticed something flew overhead. There were 3 or 4 buzzards. This one sat on our neighbor's roof for about 30 minutes.
As I finished up watering, I noticed that my poinsettias were turning red. I have 3 plants from probably the last 2-3 years. One of the plants was stuck in the back and has no red on it yet so I moved it to the front. But this is another sign that we are closing in on Thanksgiving, So I will say...
The weather has been really nice the last several days but today we had some rain earlier and will be 66 tonite. We are ready for the trick or treaters at Halloween, how about you Deb? Do you many children? We get almost 200 except for last year. I've finally finished decorating for fall and Halloween - hate the thought of having to pack it all up and putting it away, there is so much - am getting too old for this stuff! But I do love it. Honey could care less though. Have a good rest of the week and a spooky Halloween! Hugs, Wendy
H Deb - don't know what happened between us, but haven't heard from you in a while, so I saw you on someone else's site and thought I'd drop in to say hello. How have you been - guess it's been since the summer since we chatted last. Hope all has been well with you and that your summer was great. Now it's almost Halloween and the end of October. Soon we'll be turning the clocks back (don't like that one bit!) as it gets dark at 6:30 as it is. Drop me a line and let me know what's going on. Stay well and take care. Hugs, Wendy
Can you believe it is the last Monday of October and next week we will be dark WAY too early for me? Why can't we stay in daylight savings time?
This is coming way too soon! Do you like/love winter? I am a sunshine and warm weather girl. I guess that is why I love Texas so much.
Of course, I do love the color Orange too! hehehe What is your favorite color?
Today, as I speak Blessings & Hugs over each of you and ask that you share your smile, I challenge you to DREAM. Speak your dream out loud and reach for it. It may just come true. But remember to be careful what you ask for.
Watched all our online Church services this morning. Hubby visited on the phone for a while and then my adopted granddaughter called on messenger video and we visited for a while.
Looked at the temperature last night as I was heading to bed and it was 75° at 10:40 pm. Woke up this morning and we started the day at 70°. Where did fall go?
So I am just going to send you Sunday hugs along with Blessings & smiles! And I going to say, you are always welcome at our place and
The weekend is in full swing. I can't wait to hear from you. We are back to humid and not so cool again. The Houston Astros are in the World Series! The Texas Longhorns and Dallas Cowboys have the weekend off.
I know I need to start thinking about getting the plastic out (100') to cover all the plants but I just am not ready yet. I always hate putting the hanging plants and potted plants scattered all over the yard up for the winter.
And with our warm weather right now, I can just sit and think about it. I will just admit it, winter is not my favorite time of year. I like cool weather but not cold weather.
I almost never wear a jacket as I hate putting it on and taking it off. Besides, I usually just get in the car and go into the store. And you don't need a jacket either of those places in Texas.
I'm not really into fashion anymore either. I'm a "just take me as I am person" now. But please share your smile and joy with others.
A very happy weekend to you. another beautiful day here for us and great football weather. My son came in late yesterday afternoon cut and trimmed yard again for me. Been doing it on a weekly basis. Him and daughter-in-law are such a loving family. He spent the night so we'll watch football 🏈 today. Enjoy your weekend and take care.....George
