Rain

It's been raining for the best part of two days now, but is supposed to be just about over now.  The forecast for the next few days is warm. warmer. warmest, so that may be heading your way next week, Beth, and give you a chance to finish up the yard work.

Quiet here again.  We were out shopping for birthday gifts for the girls--successfully, and will have to do a bit of grocery shopping tomorrow.  I've just about got the preparations for the craft sale beat, and then it will be back to the arty work.

The diet is a struggle again, and I'm going to have to give that some thought.  I remain very pleased with the progress I've made, but still think I could do a little more.

But it's just about bed time, and I'm sitting thinking about the day.  There have been small pleasure if one looks for them.  For some reason the juncos stayed around until this week.  We've had Blue Jays at the feeder today, and, of course, the playful and cheerful little chickadees.  We didn't celebrate Hallowe'en last night.  I didn't dare have any candy in the house.  By 8:00. in the pouring rain, we figured it would be safe to leave the kitchen and turn on a living room light, but wouldn't you know two little ones came to the door within the next 5 minutes, despite our outside light not being on.  They were two very young oriental girls with a mother who obviously did not speak very good English, as I tried to apologize for not having anything for them. Cute little things, but out so late??  There are geese everywhere.  Any bit of grass and it's covered with them. Darren once told us that they know they are safe in the city, and the warmth of the city is also attractive to them.  But do they have to walk across roads?  Stupid geese!

So now to find a cup of herbal tea and try to chill out in an effort to fall asleep easily.
