I love the smell of fresh ground coffee.

It is so damp outdoors. I went out to do a bit of work but everything is still soaked from the previous rains....so I came inside to start some laundry. Waiting for a dry day to hang things on the line are few and far between lately. I may as well just give in and use the dryer.

Sunny, I DO like the way you think !!

I am watching the last of a "Good Witch".. Wish I had of been free earlier in the day so I could have seen more of them. But no matter, I have the whole last season recorded.

Junie do you have an HOA in your neighborhood? I love the smell of clothes that have been hung outside.

Well there used to be one, with the usual rules..no gardens, no clothes lines, etc.
But apparently it is no longer in operation. There are a few " out buildings" and several gardens..but I have not seen one clothes line. I miss mine so much !

Goodnight to you all. wavy

I won't live where there is a HOA. The idea is repugnant to me. Most of them are not ecologically sound either.
Sweet dreams all.

I can't imagine living in a place where a group of people decide what I can do with property that I bought. Junie, you should get Rod to put one up...maybe you'll be the person to start the trend. thumbup

Tina, I agree and I also do not like the monthly fee that goes along with an HOA. So glad mine is non-existent.

I like the idea of having Rod put up a clothes line, so much. I asked him to when we moved in here, but it will not hurt to ask again..

Good morning.

Hey, if Rod can get a dog...then you can get a clothesline. That would be my argument anyway. lol

I just got notice that the teenager living two houses West of me has Covid...and he works at the local gas station. His father has a girlfriend who lives across the road from me and his mother is best friends with my youngest Sis-in-law. I am so glad that I stopped all family from visiting here...they are all in a panic waiting to get tested.

Good.for you.
The people behind is have Covid. They do not believe it conventional medicines or vaccinations. I would like to think having the virus would change their opinion on such things..but I bet it does not.

A half dose might be the way to go. I hope they soon work it out. I do not think that my littles would do well with catching covid. Keep us informed of what you hear, Tina.

Goodnight, sweet dreams.

They just sent in their info to Health Canada here as well, they say that vaccines should start rolling out in the first month of 2022. They want to do the ages 2 -11 with 1/3rd the amount of the regular vaccine. Anything will be better than nothing in my opinion.

It is a whole 28*F here this morning...the frost is covering everything heavily.

Sounds good to hear this from you too Sunny....with my grands, I think I like the idea of a 3 rd of a dose. Not that I get to make the decision. But now I an curious as to what size is the flu dose for littles ? My grands have been getting those since they were allowed.

Good morning.

We started on next years wood(so it can season a year ahead), it was a long day yesterday....now my shoulder blades are feeling it this morning.

They just announced that our Thanksgiving (October 11) has been cancelled in our province. Well, you can have it with just your household...we are in a lockdown from Friday at 6 pm until Monday at 11:59 pm. I can see lots of fines being given out.

Good gracious !! Well does that mean that DD and GB will be home alone that day ??
I hate this virus. I hope they get a handle on it sooner rather than later. I know these restrictions are necessary, they are just getting old real fast.

I am thinking I had better get a small turkey for my freezer now..for JIC.

Yup.

Junie, GB hasn't been here for a few weeks. My DD works with the public and refuses to get vaccinated, her BF is not vaccinated and works with the public and GB has already had cases at his school. They are on their own, I go every 10 days to see GB outside, masks on for us and 6ft distance. I will not give in for GG's safety.

I do not blame you. I would not be seeing my grands if I were in the same situation.
Yes my grands are too young for vaccinations, but all the adults around them have been vaccinated. So we get them from school and hope for the best with us.

It is an unusually warm day here. DH and I are cutting the last of next years Winter wood....we'll be finished today. It is a good feeling to be prepared a year ahead.

I love the month of October, I wish it lasted longer. lol

We always seasoned our wood a year ahead.

The wood is done and piled behind the shed for next year....and the little sand flies made a meal out of me. lol

Yes, I assumed you put up your wood a year in advance..we burned wood for many years, so I know that is usually how it is done. When you said you put up a year in advance, I assumed it was an extra year...

I am so sorry about your " flying critters".

The geese were flying overhead to the South this morning, it is so pretty to watch them fly in a V formation. They had been hanging around in local fields all week.

I think I am going to give my lawn its final, light mowing this morning. Not enough to really cut much but enough to clip the tops off this final round of dandelions.

Geese..I wish I could see that. (the geese) Here I do not see that. I did all the time in Illinois.

The bees were getting into my hummingbird feeder, so I put in special flowers to keep them out...somehow 3 got in anyway, so I emptied out for the season. We are close to them going further south anyway, but I thought to give them some extra food for their trip. But oh well, I hope someone else with feeders does not have a bee problem.

The bees are more plentiful this time of the year it seems Junie. I see more on my sunflowers than I did on the other flowers all Summer.

The grass got its final cut for the year....I hope the snow holds off for awhile yet though.

My neighbor has fur trees.and so.she has several hummingbird feeders. So I am thinking my HBs can go there for some extra food.

But yes, I had very few bees this summer here as well. I was.surprised when.they began feeding on my HB feeder.

Yes, I would have made brownies...BUT my SIL does not "do" chocolate. ( or peanut butter ) And then, guess what ? When I was in the grocery store Val called me and said she would bring dessert.YAY !!
I did buy some ice cream cups to go with.

That is ok about the vehicles, Sunny. Rod can do it.

It happens every few years, it is strange to see. They bounce back in the spring once again.

We had some nasty thunderstorms last night. GG couldn't sleep with all the noise and flashes.

Although a strong wind knocked down a tree at my DD's in-laws, and took out 2 grain bins on monday.

That's a mess to deal with.

It is a dry day today but they are calling for heavy rain all weekend. I am hoping for a dry week ahead so I can take out the table saw and start GG's new flooring. I need two dry days in a row for that....then 3 dry days in a row for mine.

Today we had to pick up the kids at noon. Then we kept them until after their mom & dad had the school conferences for all the kids.

I had supper in the crock pot, so at least that was taken care of.

It was raining off and on all day.

Mmmmmmm homemade bread..we eat that here like candy.

It is in the 40's here today. I so dislike winter. I hope it holds off for awhile yet.

I must look at the remnants of my tomato plants, to see if I have a few red tomatoes. I do have a few green ones, but they will not turn red. SIL is going to try to make green tomato relish, so if he does I will give them to him.

I have never made homemade bread but I sure love eating it. I try not to be tempted to buy any because I'll eat the entire loaf.

Our weather is supposed to starting cooling. It's so dry so it's a good thing.

I have very seldom made any yeast dough. There is a whole wheat recipe where one adds the yeast to flour, that I used to make a lot though. Rod usually makes the white bread.

But yes, I too eat far too much of homemade bread.

Cool fall day here today, Sheri. IMO Fall is the best season of them all.

Hello, Tina..how are you ? We have been worried.

Wet in one area, dry in another...and so it goes....

We went to an old mill today. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

Golly where is everyone ?? Usually this only happens in late spring and summer when members are. Out in their yards & gardens.

So I will say goodnight and sleep tight. See you all tomorrow.

lol Junie, I have been outside while we have a dry morning.. I started raking leaves, then fixed the fencing that the deer keep breaking. I keep getting side tracked by DH's chores and not tending to mine.

That must be an overwhelming decision to make Tina, I wish you the best in finding the perfect new home. kissie

It is a cold, damp day. I think I should do my 'clean and mop' routine. I can't get a few dry days in a row to start my flooring in the bedrooms.

Sorry for all the wet days, Sunny. But at least you are all ready for if/when it does get clear & dry.

Tina, believe me I know about moving..we have moved twice since 2004. I too wish you luck.

I feel like I'm in a holding pattern and whatever I'm waiting on never materializes. It's driving me crazy.

Very dry here and no rain in site for at least the rest of the month. Not good.

They just announced that we are going in a two week lock down again, no visiting anyone even if it is outside....we can't even leave our area to travel to a neighboring one. It's a good thing I just went to get my banking done since that area is not included in my lockdown.

I'm very glad you got your banking done as well. We have never gone into such stringent lockdowns. My lockdowns were a personal choice
UK had Covid run through and then had the Delta variant through. Now they have a possible new variant striking people harder than the Delta. I hope they can contain it. I feel for them.

Tina, I heard them talk on the news about the new variant...they said it is forming from Delta.

The death rate is climbing here. Our elderly were the first ones vaccinated so the effectiveness is wearing off. We have a nursing home just 20 minutes from here and they have had 5 residents and a 40 year old worker die this past week, another 19 have tested positive. They have moved in campers for the workers to isolate in on the property. I am praying this 'lock down' helps improve things. The southern part of the province has been in lock down for two weeks before us.....they had to close schools there.

My monthly errands are done so I am good until the third week of November.

Yes, but they even stopped curb side grocery orders. I am well stocked for two weeks with perishables...and three months with non perishables though.

So happy you are stocked up, Sunny. I was looking at my extra stash of items last night. I need to get a few items in agsin. I have plenty of canned and a few things in the freezer, but a trip to the meat market would be a good thing.

Raining here.

I've never put cabbage in chicken soup. How did it turn out. I imagine it changed the taste quite a bit. I always put it in vegetable soup. Just realized I don't know how to downsize a pot of soup for one person. I guess I could freeze some of it.


We had our 50th class reunion last night. Boy are we OLD.

Sunny, does that nursing home always posts about deaths or is this something new because of Covid?

Well if you want to freeze.some, you have 2 options, either cook the potatoes on the side and add the cooked.potatoes to each helping, or cook it as you always do but remove the potatoes from the soup when freezing portions.. You can cook a potato when you thaw a serving. That is how I do it. and if I am being honest, I cook noodles on the side for my soups instead of potatoes. You "can" freeze potatoes and noodles, but they will be mushy when thawed and warmed. Try freezing one serving with potatoes in it and see what you think.

It's dreary here today but no rain until Thursday. We sure do need it but I'll tell you, even though I like the rain it's no fun being here alone during a storm. And my 112 pound dog, Andy, isn't any help. He always tries to hide in a corner. smile

Bestofour, the nursing home has just started posting due to Covid...no visitors are allowed there for a few months. Yup, Our main little take -out closes for the Winter but they are talking of opening a new little one where there used to be a liquor store. The liquor store has been moved into our grocery store.

That sure is a big dog.

Tina, can you see the snow coming down the mountains yet?

No snow. At least that I can see. Our ski resorts aren't making any noise yet, But I 've been enjoying the rain first one in over a year.

So glad for you, Tina..

I hope you will get rain soon, Sheri.

That is a lot of changing around, Sunny..but I guess it is necessary, huh ?
