The weather is nice today...a warm front ahead of the Nor'Easter for Thursday, hopefully it stays mild so the snow keeps at bay.
It's a mop and clean day...followed by some outdoor clean up of leaves. Have a good one.

Floors are mopped, astilbes are cut...it's too windy to rake leaves.
Tomorrow I have to take GG to the pediatrician for a re-check of her tonsils. They have had her on allergy meds for two months.

Well, we are as ready as we'll ever be...thankfully the Nor'easter coming in tomorrow won't have snow. It is staying just above the freezing mark but we were warned to be prepared for up to 72 hrs with no power. The generator is full and ready to go and the camp stove has lots of propane.

Yay for emergency supplies. We keep some supplies and water during the winter ter. With moving we need to put up more for here. For years we had some MRE's....But I think we tossed them when we moved. Perhaps Tina and such would be the way to go. Did I mention we are now very close to the New Madrid Fault like e? And that there have been a number of very light earthquakes in the last few weeks ?

A panic is not good, Sunny. But alert is. Best to find a term more able to bring that state. Have you heard from your elderly relatives?

We are all safe, there are still a few in the area with no power and there is damage to shingles and such on a few homes but my house has no damage. There will be a major clean up today for many around their homes with broken trees and branches. My mother called all the elders and they are o.k. Most have kids moved back in with them....nothing like having your 40 and 50 year olds back at your door There was a lot of flooding in town due to leaves blocking storm drains. My BIL had a flood in his home as well...that's what happens when you don't fix the small leak in your roof in good weather. I am glad it stayed mild because that would have been one vicious snow storm. Laundry and baking planned for today...GB called for me to only pick him up tomorrow, he is being registered for kindergarten today.

Glad your home is OK, Sunny. What a relief that must be.
She will your GB begin kindergarten, Sunny ?
I have errands and perhaps a bit of shopping to do today. I do have 1 load of laundry to do today when I get back. This washing machine takes so long to wash that I could only fit 4 loads of laundry into all of yesterday.

When I was younger, I really enjoyed hanging out the laundry. Even five years ago I did. But this older me does not get the same kick out of it. Can someone tell me what the OP means next to my name there on the right?

We're supposed to get some wind and rain from Nestor. I read that it's now a cyclone rather than a tropical storm. I thought a cyclone was worse than a tropical storm but not according to this report.

Tina that is so frustrating and you're right. As soon as you start cooking or washing clothes the power will go out.
Junie I will tell you what Darbi told me when she was 4 or 5 years old and she was opening Christmas presents "Clothes are not a present." Her mother thought differently but after that I let the other grandmother buy the clothes and I bought the fun stuff. I would love to have an ivory colored sweater dress. I can't find decent clothes anymore. Clothes are made for whores or teenagers not for old women.
I like hanging my clothes outside but the gang neighbors burn every single day so my clothes would smell like smoke.

I buy toys and such ( my grandson woven shows me toys on Utube so I can copy the names and model numbers of said toys. But I like to help " mom" by buying shoes or something useful so that I can help her financially. ( with the triplets and their brother to buy for she can spend ) They all got riding toys from us to go with the clothes. What I used to do for my kids, was they got "stuff" but so they had something more to unwrap, if they say needed new socks or say a pair of slacks, I have them that for Christmas as well, but wrapped it.
I will say goodnight.

Today was the first full day of using the woodstove, we usually light it in the morning then it burns out but today I kept it going....the cold is here for Winter.
My straw did not get baled, the water pump went on my tractor...I'm soon giving up this hobby farm.

Is that a lengthy fix, Sunny? Or an expensive one?

Tina, it's a $200 part plus the cost of gas with a five hr drive to get the part and a three hour job to fix it. Either way, DH is on his own to deal with it today...I have to take GG to an appt that we have been waiting forever for with a child mental health professional.
We are under a heavy rain warning for today...wish I could send it your way.

Good morning.
I wish you safe travels, Sunny. I hate to drive far in Rain. It seems to me that that is when the idiots come out and drive.

Tina, do you have a generator? I think it will become a necessity where you live as well.
The rain storm is awful.

I do have generators, Sunny. But my big one needs servicing badly. And my little one is where I can't get to it. So I will do without. It will only be two days at most.

Tina is Tangela you're oldest? Hope you find some clothes for her and if you do let me know where because I'd like something new to wear. I got my tennis shoes when Ginger was in college and the pants I wore today I got the day Colt was born and he's 8. My shoes today are hand me downs from Darbi. Darbi still doesn't want clothes as a gift. She pretty much doesn't care what she wears or how she looks. Aubry is the opposite. Are you working on digging out that generator?

When it came back on at about 3:45 this afternoon, we cheered. I bet you all did! But I have to ask..with all the fires, is there a possibility that you might lose power again ? (I hope not) you are not close to any fires are you? I am going to watch my story and then head to bed..sweet dreams.

The fires happening now are not near me. I know of no fires in our area caused by SCE (SOCAL Edison) The fires up north were caused by PG&E who doesn't take care of and upgrade their infrastructure to well. I do not think we need these outages we've gotten. I also don't like being kept in the dark (*pun intended) when it comes to news of fires. Or news in general. Radio is not good here because the mountains, no reception. But we are safe for now so I'm good. Sweet dreams, Carol.

It was showing the California fires on the news this morning...it is so sad to think this is being caused by poor infrastructure.
Not sure what today holds...DH is picking up GB after lunch while he runs an errand.

Good morning. Some fires are caused by degraded infrastructure. And that is a much bigger problem in northern California than here. Ours is more likely to be sparked by weed abatement or faulty equipment as anything. But we have arsonists and bad bbq chefs as well.There are a lot of things that can cause fires.

That is pretty gross, Sunny. It is my least favorite part. My favorite part----eating the pumpkins. Tonight we are to get more wind. That means my power may go off again. And then again on Wednesday. Ick! Do you save the pumpkin seeds?

Keep safe. No, we don't save the seeds...they are just the carving kind that one gets at Walmart. We usually plant our own but this year I planted extra potatoes instead.

Good morning all,
I just finished redoing budget for next month, early ! so proud of myself LOL! paid last of bills for month too, and had a little left over... always nice..
Hubby is getting ready to go check out his hearing aids again, they keep changing his app so he has to go in to redo it... but they help me stay sane so it's worth it... I have a pumpkin to turn into a jack of lantern to but will wait till the day off. I made a pear crisp yesterday .. kept it for today's dessert , now to decide on dinner...LOL! maybe just leftovers... going to put a pkg of bacon in over in a while to make for the weeks breakfasts... sure a lot easier to cook that way... lasts 2 weeks if I hide it from hubby..he thinks he needs 4 pieces every day, I limit him to 2 every other day...
Well off to get bacon started and sweep up kitchen … see what else I can get up to.... have a good day all!

I am glad your hubbies hearing sides work well..it seems my DH's hearing aides do not help so much....at least not enough.
And yes bacon does sound lovely. I myself could not just eat 2 pieces of bacon every other day either. Rules or not.
Very tired.going to bed soon. Sweet Dreams everyone!

It is calling for a rain/wind storm for Halloween here...the kids will be disappointed.

Good morning. It looks like the winds will come late tonight and stay through Thursday. Sustained 40-60 mph with gusts to 90-100 mph. I am used to it here. But not looking forward to it in the dark and without TV, radio or computer. Stocking for our needs this morning and prepping where I can for the next couple of days.

Tina, I bought a tiny radio at Walmart for $20....it works with AA batteries, it runs forever on just two batteries. It was a really good buy. I use it outside and also when the power goes out.
I went for a few groceries today at our local store, they are renovating and the place is in a mess....up goes the prices to pay for the new floors and paint I bet.

Those types of radios are the best. Then to have a TV band on one is even better for power outages...That is a good reminder, Sunny...thanks !
Sorry for the grocery store " upgrade"... Sadly you are probably right about the grocery shopping.

Yep Junie Paw Patrol is a cartoon Colt watched. Their song says Paw Patrol On A Roll. Colt used to have all the Paw Patrol toys.
We need to get a battery operated radio too.
I buy center cut bacon and cook it in the oven for 20 minutes. I used to get the kind in a box but it tastes so much better this way.

I have radios. What I don't have is reception. I have mountains on all sides of me and they block all. There are a couple of fuzzy stations that reach me but they are so bad. I don't turn on the radio in my car until I am away from my house. But thank you. I am ready. The wind is not here yet so still have power.

Sweet dreams all. It feels weird to be waiting for the wind. Well not so much wind as a power outage but the wind will be the forerunner. I do not like these power turn off things. And I am not alone. The state is beginning to look into PG&E and their legality. I would also like them to look into the 'need' for ours with SCE. I just don't see it.

I spent the day making GG a costume...I wish she wouldn't wait until last minute. Thankfully I bought a fluffy orange blanket for her last month that worked out well for it. So an orange cat she is. I never even started making my fudge yet.

You are a good Grammy, Sunny.
And now I want Fudge..... I would not mind if you dropped some off here when you have it all made, Sunny.
