Happy Autumn (2009)!

With the arrival of my favorite season has come a wave of wilting humidity which led me to forget to wish you all a Happy first day of Autumn! (The air conditioning has been on since yesterday and most likely won't be off again until Saturday at this rate). I wouldn't call this a bout of Indian Summer because the temp's aren't high, just the humidity is. I finally dragged up 2 boxes of Autumn & Halloween decorations from the basement yesterday and hope to start getting that stuff out today. Vic and I took out time this morning with getting up and breakfast so neither of us really starting moving until nearly noon! Now it's off to do more laundry and bring up the outdoor Halloween decorations.

It's just so hard getting into a particular season or holiday spirit when you're breaking a sweat standing still!

It's finally nice enough here to sit out on the patio in the mornings; I think it was like 70 first thing. What a relief! Good luck with your decorations!!

Whereas here it's just chilly mornings and evenings. Feels very much like fall. Think I will head off to get apples this weekend.

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
