Fall, now I know why

We had a shower overnight and wind,  the leaves that have already changed colour are falling fast and furious, it is now officially Fall, not Autumn.  Our front lawn is covered with the leaves from across the street, usually the wind we get is from the West or North/West, therefore we get the neighbours leaves on our property.  Does he help pick them up?  no, of course not, he can't even pick the leaves up on his own lawns let alone ours.  Our trees have yet to turn colour so not have started to fall yet, when they do, it is a job that lasts for about two weeks sometimes longer, even doing it every other day.   We use the lawn tractor to do this job, there is no way either one of us can do it by hand.  Some are put in my compost bin, most of them go to the recycle depot.

This afternoon we are going to a surprise 80th birthday party for a friend of Hubby's, there is sure to be some beverage I would like.  Umm!  maybe a gin and tonic or a nice white wine, either one would go down nicely.  

Tomorrow five of my great grands are coming over as I have a b-day gift for one of them.  Keeping fingers crossed the sun will shine as we are going to go for a walk in the woods across the street from us.  Hope we see a deer or two or maybe the six turkeys we saw yesterday.

The sun is trying to shine and it is only 8*C do not expect it to get above 12*C today.   I even dug out my fuzzy slippers yesterday, as my feet always seem to be cold which in turn makes my whole body cold.  They will be the foot wear for the indoor season until Spring arrives.

Dinner tonight chicken, mushrooms, salad and one of the muffins I bought yesterday.  They are quite big so will cut it in half, banana/chocolate chip with a small scoop of ice cream.   

Must finish the laundry,

Have a great day.

Cheers.
