HAPPY FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN! Tis here. Can I be ready for it? I think I had best try. It boggles my mind that we are now into AUTUMN. Blink and Summer is gone. I have to move fast or the day disappears right before me.
BETWEEN PURGING UNWANTED CLUTTER AND going to out of town MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, I'm a tired puppy. Got up early today as to go to a early morning medical appointment for my hubby. He had a CT scan. I waited for him and before I knew it he was finished.
He mentioned eating at THE CHEF and I agreed. We haven't eaten there in a couple of years due to CO VID. What could I order on the FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN that would be appropriate for my fitness program? Eggs and veggies. I'd have a Vegetable Omelet with hash browns. Water.
The omelet was HUGE so I asked the waitress how many eggs were in this dish. THREE. I ate most of it and half the hash browns. I nibbled on the corner of a piece of toast dipped in their specially heated, sweet jam.
I left contented, but as I walked back to the car, it was difficult to walk as the back of my right foot hurts. Can't figure this one out. Drove to Starbucks to get my medicinal GREEN ICED TEA. Trenta size to last me 4 hours.
Hubby was sweet and went inside to get my Tea. As I sat in the car, I noticed the MUMS Dillons had for sale at $6.99 each. Wonderful price, so I decided to comparison shop. Went by ORSCHELN Farm and Home...no mums. So close to Walmart. I was looking for reddish colored mums. None. Onto MENARDS. Yep. $5.49 each. We had some money left on a rebate and this covered the price of the mums. Winner winner. Walked out of the store having spent no money at all. It was covered.
So this week-end, I will take the front porch geraniums out of the urns replacing them with MUMS. I'll have to see if I have any extra pots for the geraniums to winter in. They look pretty good and I'd like to try to keep them until Spring when they can be returned to the out of doors. I'll have room for them in the COTTAGE Utility room. When floor to ceiling shelves are built then I will have some shelving for plants as well as my cook books and sewing notions. That will work.
Well, I had better go for a hunt down in the basement to see if I can find anything else to get rid of as we purge away. This is an interesting phase to be going through. Not really FOND of it. The days fly by so quickly I can hold it together for the rest of the week with the house being in a uproar. My goal is to make it to Sunday and have decluttered like nobody's business.
I came across a box of old 45 records that belonged to my dear brother. I'll slowly go through these when I can take my time and decide what to do with them.
I have been going through my old albums. What memories. I haven't listened to these in over 40 years. Ha. Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell, Chicago, Neil Diamond, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Three Dog Night, Loggins and Messina, Stevie Wonder, Carpenters, Jimi Hendrix, and a few others. Gosh. Can I turn loose of these? I think so.
FRIDAY is just around the corner. ANOTHER PURGE DAY for sure.
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN!!! It's cool at about 57 degrees with grey skies. Awesome after being too HOT. Awesome I need.
Better close.
