Good morning and it is a good morning in the hills of South Dakota! The sun is out and the fall flowers are blooming while the Aspen trees are beginning to turn a beautiful gold. Now, having grown up in Pennsylvania, where fall foliage is multicolored and beautiful, I know that getting excited over one color is perhaps overdoing it a bit. But when the Aspen and cottonwoods, both turn the same color and are the only trees to turn color one has to make the most of it. Both of these turn golden in color and when the sun shines on them they glisten and sparkle among the hillsides filled with pine.
Helen, I think that I've lost the house deal that I had on the hook. Oh well, what will be will be! I've listed the property with a realtor so who knows she may have better luck than I did.
Joni, on that housekeeper, she did iron my sweat pants! Now, I used to like ironing, I always considered it my "think time", but I never ironed anything I didn't have to after I left home. When I was living at home my mother had me iron pajamas, nightgowns, slips, my dad's T-shirts and our bras. That came to a halt when I went away to college and my roommates laughed at me for ironing my bras and my pajamas.
Ann, I don't have a garden but my kitchen window sill is filled with zucchini squash that friends and neighbors have brought in. Kathy made 15 loaves chocolate zucchini breads for in the freezer and there are still six zucchini on the windowsill. I think we will be eating zucchini until spring.
Enough chatter for now, I think that I need to respond to some PM's and maybe I will try and do some journaling which I have been ignoring.
Everybody have a good day and I will keep you all in my prayers and give thanks for your friendships and company here. Love you each and every one.
