The weather has been up and down, back and forth. My joints do not care for that. After mid-80's a couple days ago today is in 50's, dark and damp. It rained earlier. And for the weekend we might get frost or a freeze overnight. If we do, then I'll plan on getting out to do some more yard work when there is a dry day and I can cut back the liriope and daylilies.
Yesterday Les was going to mow, but the ground is too wet and soft in some areas. So instead he did a couple other outside chores and cleaned up leaves. I helped a little and then we cleaned up and went to Pierce's for barbecue sandwiches. YUM! Drove back along the Colonial Parkway. We used to enjoy taking a Fall drive in the convertible on a sunny Fall day and looking at leaves. But this was nice, too. There was a little color but just as many trees were bare already, and a few we could see that had been downed in the storms. Like I have said, it's been a hard weather year for things. The final stop on the way home was the Amish furniture store to look at desks. Beautiful ones! We got info and will think and measure. 😊 No hurry!
So today, in spite of the gloom and dampness, we have men working on cleaning the roof and siding. We had gotten a letter from the Owner's Association saying our roof was dirty. We didn't really think so, but if we looked hard and long enough could see a few places. So we called Steve, our handyman guy, and got the name and number of the man up there working now. Turns out several neighbors had also gotten letters, too.
I've been keeping up with the usual stuff. Stripped the bed this morning and have laundry going. I switched out the quilts and put the holiday one on the bed. Will take our Anniversary quilt to the laundromat next week sometime and wash it. It's too big for our washer and dryer. I did get the mattress pad done here though.
Also been working on Christmas prep and inventory, etc. Thanksgiving prep is good and only a couple things to get yet.
So all in all, life is great! Stay safe and God Bless America!
Here is Finnigan being the first to lounge on the "new" quilt. They love it when I switch them around!
