WARMER SUNDAY WITH RAIN
Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 7:21 am
GOOD MORNING ALL!
It's a tad above freezing out there this morning, and raining again. Heavy rain is predicted for this afternoon. One week from today I should be south of Syracuse on the road, with any luck. As the days pass by, I am getting so twitchy that I am actually looking for the 'perfect storm' to halt me in my tracks so I'll have to stay right here. How sick is that?! Sigh!
I got my yesterday's meager list of things accomplished----took my last load of stuff to the dump, revised a new contacts list in a new address book, printed out yet more maps, stapled up the snow fence on the front deck to enable shoveling when needed, covered the woodpiles, and Molly and I took a long walk in the woods, savoring each and every moment of the smells of fall. If this trip/move venture works, I will really have the best of all seasons, with spring, summer, and fall up here in the mountains and the dead of winters down where I can still be out and more active without freezing my butt off. I have to realize how very lucky I am to have a free place to park my home on wheels----a beautiful place, at that----and an entire house all to myself that I own and can do whatever to that I wish. Both of those places are on ponds, too! I really need to snap the heck out of this worry funk I have placed myself into.
Let's see----what to do today. I can't even think right now. I guess I'll have some more coffee, read my email, check up on Lily and Hope who apparently have found/made their den for the winter, and check out Facebook. After that, anything goes as I begin this last countdown week!
I hope you all are buckled down for the winter if you are staying put, and getting ready to roll if you are playing goose and heading south. I haven't heard as many geese flying over here lately, or stopping at my pond for the night. I guess they are well on their way to wherever they go by now. I wish I could fly my way south, (on my own wings, not on one of those flying buckets we call planes) over the bustle of the highways, packing nothing but my feathers!
Coffee is hot, so stop in and let us know the latest with you, even if nothing has changed since the last time you checked in. It's always so much fun to hear from you all, and I need things to read to take my mind off chickening out.
Happy Sunday to all!
