and the weather outside is right in the mood. Last night I woke up to the sounds of the ice-cream man coming up the driveway. It took me a few seconds in my groggy half awake state to realize that I was hearing the wind chimes from way on the other side of the house. I love the cooler sunny days with the leaves turning and the air with a nip in it. Yesterday morning there was frost on the shaded parts of the neighbor's roof. I picked the rest of the squash and put it on the porch. The raspberries are starting to produce in full force again. I think they like the cooler nights better. I found a cucumber yesterday that was the size of a zucchini. I guess it had been hiding from me for some time.
With the weather change I realize that I don't have any casual long sleeve shirts. This spring I must have done a major cleaning of my closet and even got of my old standard standbys... The downsize of doing all that labour intensive work over the summer is that my nicer fitted shirts the sleeves are too tight now. I guess I will I have to go out and shop. I don't like shopping in Canada though. I can never find things of quality at a decent price and style that I like. As no trips south of the border are imminent I'm not sure what I will do...
Well I guess I better go pack the prince's lunch and make him coffee to take to work. As he likes to tell his dad and I 'At least someone works in this family'
The clear sky's we should have tonite should make for perfect viewing of the full moon : )
Em is heading over to Carols house to snatch some squash.....Can you online shop? If the place doesn't ship to Canada have it come here and I'll send it on...
ReplyDeleteNot working?????....(well, perhaps Hairball takes it easy - but I know you bust your ass around there).
Maybe the prince should be left to do his own laundry and such....
Its finally cooling off here too. I love it. its much easier to bake when its so much cooler outside. We have found thsoe hiding cucs too. they grow so fast. not really worth eating when they get that big though.
ReplyDeleteI didnt realise hairbal didnt work outside the house. I say it that way cus like Em, I kow you work yur tushy off inside and around your house. Why do you call him the prince?
Hairball does tons of work outside of our house and he is known to do the dishes too. Em started calling Harrison the prince and it just stuck in my mind lol
ReplyDeleteI'm happy Summer is over myself. The heat & I don't get along.
ReplyDeleteCarol you can keep that squash. I don't care for it myself. LOL

ReplyDeleteI for one, love the heat...I don't like it this cold...But today and tomorrow its actually supposed to be in the 70's. Now that I can handle.
