TWO AND A HALF WEEKS A GO we were sweltering in the heat. Sweating. We were sitting in the screened-in porch saying our good-byes to STUFF. Stuff that we no longer needed. I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't stay in the present temperature for more than ten minutes before I had to go inside to cool off.
KANSAS has a tendency to change in a blink of an eye. If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change.
This week in no time at all it's jacket weather. Just like that, it's chilly. Preparing for colder weather. The HOME furnace should be checked out. Possibly a tune up.
A new winter coat will have to be purchased this FALL to replace what was lost in our house fire. Additional bedding is needed in the linen closet. Food in the pantry. Automobiles will need winterized. It seems like every August and September I think about what needs to be done prepping for Winter.
The months slipped away before completing.
Giving thought about wintering inside my outside geraniums and large ferns.
I hope to sit smaller geraniums in the Garden Window that's in the Kitchen. The two front porch Ferns will sit in the entryway. The large Fern.....haven't decided.
Truly, I am not ready for chilly weather.
Really not ready.
More sunshine and gentle temps of about 73 degrees.
Please and thank you.
For now...Bundle up.
Relax.

This week to relax, I am sitting in a large, comfortable, overstuffed chair watching OLD Westerns. Not doing laundry, paperwork or decluttering. Break time so I don't break. I've wanted to watch westerns for a marathon for months.
THIS WEEK is the week. Feet up. Shoes off. Coffee by my side with easy menus to consume.
Watched JOHN WAYNE as Wil Anderson in THE COWBOYS. It's been years since I watched this 1972 movie and couldn't remember the ending. Like watching a new movie. I think the entire family could watch. Wil is in a spot where the grown men have gold fever leaving the area. He turns to the next best thing in help that comes in the size of young boys willing to be the hired hands. Off on an adventure herding cattle across the country.
WESTERN MARATHON TIME
~Marathon of Television Westerns~
GUNSMOKE.
BONANZA.
BIG VALLEY.
Where's your cowboy hat and boots?
I have the bluejeans and scarf.
Miss Kitty seems to wear frilly dresses.
Not so much for Victoria Barkley.
Knowing it's Fantasy.
Gitty up cowboy.
Cowgirls as well.
By the time this is all said and done....
The Westerns will have morphed into one.
~THE BIG BONANZA IN GUN SMOKE VALLEY~
Okay. Moving right along.
I've been so busy this last year and a half
that I have got to take some time to relax.
THEN I will continue purging what holds me back
and keeps me from having order that I need to function
more effectively.
Purging awaits me.
THIS SEASON that I am in isn't one of comfort nor is it easy going. Having my HOME better organized and streamlined will make it a lovelier place to live.
TIME is passing so quickly.
Determined to be refreshed and back at it.
I think I need a month of Sundays to bounce back.
Lord, I beseech thee.

I love western marathons... The pic of the cowgirls made me laugh. Those hair dos, oh my word... You definitely can use some down time. You have been very busy... I think you have accomplished so much... you certainly deserve a rest. hugs, lj
Time is truly speeding by, isn't it? My husband would certainly join you for your western marathon. He loves them, too. I've never kept geraniums through the winter. Anything special to do? I may try it this year.
Howdy from Kansas. I think we all need breaks and time to take it easier than normal. The only thing I can think about wintering geraniums is to make sure they get some sunshine, stable temperature not too cold and a good watering at least once a week. They are pretty hardy.
Blessings,

Water is a must as the air in the house is so dry. If they quit blooming and turn brown and crispy you have probably forgot to water them as I did a few years ago. ;)
