It’s another beautiful morning and warmer than it has been for the past few. 66 degree this morning and I think it isn’t supposed to go up or down much from that all day. But it is a breezy morning so that will make a difference, and there is a cloud layer overhead keeping the sun out. 

We are waiting this morning for Habitat of Humanity Restore folks to come pick up a couple of the chairs that we have in our family room. We bought them a few years ago from a really nice second-hand store and they have served us very well. They are still good chairs but they sit a little low for us now\ and we have a hard time getting in and out of them. So, I called the Restore and offered them up to them. We also have a couch that we got when Kate’s mom passed and we have a chair that we got when my mother passed that we wanted to also donate. When I called the Restore folks they had me send pictures of the furniture so they could decide if they wanted it or not. I did  and they said they would take the to family room chairs but not the others. I said “okay” even though I think it is a bit “snooty since all of the pieces are in good shape. Anyway, they will be here this morning to pick up the two chairs. I also called St. Vincent DePaul and asked if they would want the couch and the other chair. They said “yes” right away and set a pick up date for November 16th, no questions asked, no pictures required. It kind of makes me wonder about the difference in the mission of the two stores. Is Restore in it for the money or to help folks out. It’s obvious where St. Vincents sits on that scale. 

I had a good afternoon working in my front flowerbed yesterday afternoon. I got he peonies cut back as well as some other stuff too. I still need to Get the Four-oClocks trimmed back on that side and that’s gonna take some work. I really wish we didn’t have those plants but there is no getting rid of them. They drop hundreds of seeds every year so it is an on-going battle. Beside, the Papa John’s pizza delivery dudes know our house as “the house with the good smelling front porch”. LOL I wouldn’t want to deprive them of that pleasure during the summer. Our trash collector hauled off six of those large Lowe’s yard waste paper bags this morning that were stuffed as full as I could get them. So much to do!!!

Can you believe it is Thursday already?  Where has the week gone. As a matter of fact where has October gone? Three weeks of October have passed already and November is only ten days away. Halloween is coming next week, Thanksgiving 27 days after that, Advent starts, then we go on vacation, then Christmas arrives ——— Time flies when you are having fun. 

Now it is time for me to go have some fun and carry the mail out to the mail box. That’s my exciting life. Peace.
