Thanks
For letting me see my grandson today, I don't want him to grow up not knowing how crazy I am. Got the ceramic turkey out and cooked the sad real turkey and IT WAS done on time. The furnace quit. Picked a good day, the oven warmed us most of the day.
THANKS to Jack who came and saved our furnace, I felt so guilty calling him. Cleaned two rooms in my anxious state surrounding the furnace failure, this is good.
Life is good, I miss everyone not here tonight.

Fall Yard
Really rude to me to time the beginning of global warming with my menopause years. We finally had some crunchy frosty ground this morning, I actually put on a sweatshirt.

Finally fall corn
Fall has taken quite a bit of time to get here. Not so my grandson. He came early and is already being a stinker. Born in the middle of the night three weeks early. Collecting a large hospital bill and causing tears to most of us here. He's okay, but is not breathing like he should. I know all about this having suffered with asthma for all of my life.
Not sure what is causing him to stop breathing and nod off but the little shit had better stop, get home and let me cuddle him.
The poor farmer, cutting down his corn on a Friday night in a wet field after he most likely is done with his second day job that just makes ends meet somewhat.
Ready for some winter baby smiles and spring flowers. I know, I know, patience in all things. Bleh.

September Ends
Ronald always visits on the red truck to bring in October and Fire prevention month. September is a most beautiful month that I am never able to appreciate or enjoy.
Ronald does not want anyone to see him without his makeup. I've stopped wearing it though it still sits on my bathroom shelf waiting.

Both Sides
Old song, old message. Clouds have covered everything this week. This formation peeked out for just a few minutes.

Why are glasses so expensive?
Bifocals, progressive lenses, fancy coatings, light titanium frames. It's a plot, it's a plot to steal all my money. Can't tell which is conditioner and which is shampoo in the shower, someone should invent glasses for the shower.
Old eyes suck.

New Corn
Corn is amazing. Sunflowers too. They start so small and grow with command of their immediate surroundings complete. Both produce strikingly large yellow, sweet things.
Other things grow with command but with less outward show. All are commanded by their immediate surroundings.
I have a new grandson growing this season. Halloween will never be the same for me again. I'm still trying to get a command for this.

Eleven times and years
One kid turned eleven years old today. And I figured out that the other young ones have had strep throat infections eleven times since last October. I believe October is the tenth month. It is the sixth month.
I'm so tired tonight and this week and probably next week, that numbers are swirling.
one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Let summer come but not too fast. Slow the numbers down.

Garden Fairy
May she protect my baby plants and flowers this season. A silly qvc gift from my sister.
I put out the tomatoes,cucumbers and a few flowers today. The rest goes out tomorrow hopefully. I love this time of the year so much but it is also a busy time for a teacher.
Sunflowers and cabbage. Have to find a shady place for the giant begonias.
This lady's smile is forever fixed.

Cold clear water
I think this was a song by Roy Rogers or someone else.
I have a friend who is dieing from ovarian cancer. This totally sucks for all the women who are going through this.
Words just don't come to make any sense out of this.
The irises and weeds are coming up strong and...
Angry and sorry are vocab words next week. Appropriate timing somehow.

Clouds and special days
Tomorrow is a big day. My first born kid is graduating with an advanced degree. She has worked so very long and hard for this. She amazes me every single day.
These clouds seemed to hang in the sky yesterday. Weighted there. The kid has been weighted in my life for a very long time. I never thought I would make it through the first six weeks with her. She would not let me out of her sight or touch. I had never had that degree of closeness with anyone.
We both made it and then some. Thirty years this December.
May the camera and I perform and commemorate tomorrow.
(got a grandkid coming in November too.)

Nest location
Went to the atm at the Credit Union on Sunday, parking lot was empty and barren. We saw a duck dad in the handicap space. Duck momma was over near the bushes, could not see her at first.
We've checked every day since to make certain that they did not make their nest near the ATM.
We also have mice in our garage and kitchen. Cat is not doing her cat things like catching the mice. These must be signs of spring.
