Rise and Shine Monday
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:58 amGood Mornng everyone,
Been up since 5:45 a.m. here
Dayllght is starting to filter in as it's now 7:40. So making a quick entry. Have to get ready to head to town for chiropractor appt., bank, store etc.
The 4th day of wind here today. Been anywhere from 25-45 mile an hour gusts since Friday. Fortunately hasn't been too chilly, although the highs are in the 40's mostly with some 50's around. But if you dress for the weather, you have no problem. The winds have brought down a lot of leaves, so fall color season is definitely over here. There are still some trees hangng tough though. Everybody in the neighborhood is going to wind up raking or blowing everybody else's leaves after it quits, as the wind is blowing one yards worth leaves into the next and so forth down the line
Now maybe we should luck out like last years sustained 45 mile an hour winds with gusts to 60, that literally blew every leaf out of sight around here. That was a surprise to wake up to and find all the leaves in your yard gone 
. But it was nice, no blowing needed. Not so nice in the downed trees and power lines department.
Getting ready for winter slow but sure. TT is all winterized and covered, grass is cut for the last time, pine needles raked up and waiting to be hauled out back to the dump pile. Stil need to winterize lawn tractor after it's done hauling needles, get the snowblower out of hibernation and started up, screens to store and windows to wash and of course the neighbors yard worth of leaves in my yard to blow back into the woods All will get done. Need some cooperation from mom nature first.
Enjoying reading about the GTG's, travel plans for those heading south and the upcoming GTG's being planned. Noticed that the AR GTG is pretty quiet. Apparently what has been going on at that GTG is staying with that GTG . Will be fun following the winter adventures of everyone down south and whatever those of us north get into. I've got my scrapbook to catch up on from all the trips I took this summer, so that will be fun to do when I get started. Can dream about summer and new adventures while the snow flies outside. Am really getting the itch to head into the U.P. for a few days, so will probably be heading up there once I get the outside stuff under control around here.
Hope you all have a nice day today, whatever your plans are. Those on the road, drive safe especially if you are in the areas where it's windy. Enjoy..
