BLINK AND IT'S AUTUMN

PLEASANT WEEK-END with cooler temperatures to sit outside getting some much needed Vitamin D with fresh air.  Crunchy leaves twirled downward toward the ground as the breeze provided seasonal motivation to detach from the tree branches and glide to freedom.  The leaves gather on the lawn leaving heaps of debris to be collected in lawn bags going to the landfill or if Mother Nature decides to brew up wind, the leaves will twirl right on out of the yard into the wide open spaces.    

Twas a delightful sight to behold as I sat outdoors.  Seldom do I just sit outside to see the neighborhood sights.  I did this week-end.  Was truly nice to sit under Nature's canopy on a nice sunshiny day.

Hubby and I worked on turning loose of furniture.  We let go a loveseat, overstuffed chairs, an antique trunk, retro table, vinyl records and a green Ethan Allen swivel chair.  May not sound like much to others, but to me...in order to turn loose I have to not be attached to the things that went bye-bye. 

I move terribly slow, so I have to psych myself up to gather items and get rid of them.  Didn't make a dent.      

This week, I hope to work on laundry, shuffle an area to put an old radio table in place to hold an old radio.  Makes sense to me.  Two medical appointments this week.  I'd like to go to the THRIFT SHOPPE to check out some Fall/Winter Clothing especially on Senior Discount Day, purchase candy for my Grands Halloween Treats so I can make up early and give to them early in October.  Start tidying what will be the new TV Room.  Continue thinning out papers. Enough already.  I'll add some AUTUMN decorations to the house and maybe hang something Autumny on the front doors.  Wish I already had done this the first part of September so I could enjoy during September, October and November.

AUTUMN begins tomorrow on the 22nd.  This will be a great time to deliberately eat eggs and more veggies.  Start Christmas SHOPPING which means I must SAVE MONEY for gifts.  A MUST. 

Today, I have got to catch up on going through the mail, do some laundry, pay a bill in person, move and transport the radio table, fix my hair and get ready for the rest of the week.  Hubby continues to work on rebuilding the screened-in porch.  

I started deep cleaning the Kitchen.  What a mess I have created to CLEAN the KITCHEN.  I cleared the countertops off and am having a time deciding what goes where.  The extra table I had set up so I could put the stuff on as I clean is full.  PAUSE.  Lord help me.  

Today, I am tired.  Perhaps after I get in the car to run errands I will feel revived and be activated for a busy day.  A busy week.  A busy month.  

Blink and it's AUTUMN.  A wonderful time to prepare for the HOLIDAYS and turn loose of clutter.  AUTUMN begins tomorrow.  Praise the LORD, we have made it.

HOME LIFE is for me,
